Shockwaves NME Awards 2008: The Wombats win Best Dancefloor Filler
Klaxons and Foals beaten to the post by the Liverpool trio
The Wombats have won the Best Dancefloor Filler award supported by Club NME at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2008 for their song, ‘Let’s Dance To Joy Division’.
Collecting their award from presenters We Are Scientists, singer Murph was in typically comical form.
He said: “Thanks to everyone's dancing shoes boogying on down... I kind of want to ring my mum and tell her that I'm sitting next to Muse. I'm going to stick this where the sun don't shine. Cheers.”
The other nominees for the Best Dancefloor Filler award, new for 2008, were Bloc Party (’Flux’, Foals (’Hummer’), Klaxons (’Atlantis To Interzone’) and Justice (‘D.A.N.C.E.’).
