The Phoenix New Times Summer of Sound series was a success again this year, thanks to the hard work and dedication of our marketing department and some of the finest local bands in town. It’s been a long, hot summer, but we finally got through all seven shows in seven genres over the course of 15 weeks. Just like last year, we had audience members at each show vote for their favorite band. But unlike last year, we didn’t announce the results at the end of each night, choosing instead to announce all winners at the awards show last night at Big Fish Pub in Tempe.
The categories, nominees, and winners are listed below, along with some photographs from the awards show. Thanks again to everyone who helped make the Summer of Sound series a success!
Rock The Source Victoria (winner) Rocketline Cardiac Party My Feral Kin
