LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts/ Primary Talent International) - APRA (Australasian Performing Right Association) has revealed the winners of the 2009 APRA Music Awards, announced last night in a dazzling ceremony at the Peninsula in Melbourne. The winners, across 12 categories including the prestigious peer voted APRA SONG OF THE YEAR, represent the songwriters behind the most successful works of 2008. In their first ever APRA nomination, the coveted APRA SONG OF THE YEAR Award has been won by THE LIVING END for their scorching rock anthem 'White Noise'. Taking literally months to complete, chief songwriter CHRIS CHENEY has described 'White Noise' as 'the bastard child born out of the ruins of two other songs - writing it proved to be a great learning experience for me.' It might have taken the Melbourne boys more than 15 years to get there but the band and their song with the undeniably catchy hook has captured the imagination of the 30,000 eligible voters who make the APRA SONG OF THE YEAR the single, biggest peer voted music award in Australia.
