The Reason Win Big At Hamilton Music Awards November 19th, 2007
At this year’s Hamilton Music Awards, hometown heroes The Reason picked up the award for People’s Choice Canadian Album of The Year.
Congratulations! Thanks to all those that voted for the band.
Classically though, the band screwed up the ceremony - i’ll leave it to their own hands to describe the goof:
—————
So we were in the audience, and the two awards we knew we were nominated for, People’s Choice local band of the year and alternative album of the year came and went, and were won by 40 Sons and Daughters and Caribou, respectively. Congrats goes out to both of those bands. So as the awards went on one by one we all ended up in the lobby bar at Hamilton Place. It was near the end of the show when Cam got a call from his buddy Matt from The Saint Alvia Cartel to say basically “get your asses in here you just won an award - Canadian Recording of the Year”. We of course, being cynical bastards, didn’t believe him at first. Cam calls him back, it turns out he was telling the truth, that we did actually win the award and that we were holding up the whole show. So we go backstage, get the award, are stoked that we won, but feel like idiots that we weren’t in the room for the ceremony. Even though we didn’t know we were nominated, we still should have been there and we have no excuse. We apologize to the Hamilton Music Awards for not being there and holding up the show. We are truly sorry.
