Congratulations to Balcony TV on a smashing ceremony on Friday night in which a new batch of winners were announced at the second Music Video Awards. The web-based channel broadcasts fresh music content every day on YouTube, updating via their website and blog. It’s proved a popular format for musicians and fans alike and a second channel was established in Hamburg, Germany, in late 2007.
Ascending another step of the pop scene ladder with a win on Friday were The Script who walked away with Best Band, beating off heavy competition from The Coronas and The Flaws. It’s looking rosy for the Dublin trio who’ve gone into orbit from obscurity (check out their MySpace calendar boasting serious festival activity) with the release of We Cry, their first single from August’s self-titled debut album on the RCA label Phonogenic.

Amongst the hordes hanging out on the night were Camogie Lovers, Lauren Guillery, Red Kid, Royseven, Jacqui Carroll and The Kinetiks, who rocked their way through a sharp, polished set with frenetic ease. I love their blue neon KINETIKS sign!

Here’s the full list of winners:
