From: piratenews@infowars.net FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hollywood awards Pirate News TV for Best Music Video LA Indy Music Awards 2005 November 9, 2005 HOLLYWOOD, California - Pirate News TV's executive producer John Lee won "Best Music Video of 2005" as director of UFOetry's "We Never Went to the Moon". The voting parties were November 10/13 at the world famous Whisky a-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip. The video was played for the judges and attendees, who cast their vote for the best of the best. L.A. Mayor Richard Riordan declared November 21st, 2000, "Los Angeles Music Awards Day." Now in it's 15th year, the organization is the longest running major awards show for independant artists in the country. It has major title sponsors and a television arrangement. For 2005, the event was held at the Music Box and Henry Fonda Theatre on November 9th. It was the most elaborate production in the history of the event. The accompanying Showcase Series continues to draw huge interest from artists not only in L.A., but all over the globe. Created by Al Bowman, the Awards is designed to recognize independent labels and artists who are making a name for themselves in the national marketplace. In March of 1991, Bowman sat down at the Rainbow Bar & Grill with the legitimate Godfather of Rock n' Roll, Mr. Bill Gazzarri. On that fateful night, Gazzarri handed Bowman his famed white Fedora hat and gave him his personal blessing to go out and be the voice of independent music in Los Angeles. Gazzarri, who was only three days from his death on that memorable evening, expressed to Bowman his desire to see a more unified local music scene. When the first Los Angeles Music Awards took place on December 17th, 1991, it was dedicated to the memory of Bill Gazzarri. Each year since, the Godfather of Rock n' Roll receives accolades from the organization for his inspiration in making this yearly event a reality. Al Bowman: "I loved your video. People are really talking about it." John Lee: "I bet you say that about all the music videos." Al Bowman: "No, really, that took a lot of guts, to say what you said. It really gets a reaction from people. Some violently reject it, but most stop and think about it. The lack of exhaust flame on takeoff from the moon really does prove the point that We Never Went to The Moon." Elite B. Productions, Inc produced the television broadcast for Los Angeles Music Awards, using eight video cameras located on stage and around the theatre. The program will be shown on various Networks, TBD. This marks the first time the Awards will be televised. This show will be Produced by K.P., Line Produced by Scott Hamilton and Directed by David M. Brunsman.
