The National Deadly Sounds Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Music Awards

This story originally appeared in Deadly Vibe Magazine Issue #7 August, 1997

We have just opened The Vault – all the back stories from old editions – dating back to the 1990s. To know where we are going, it's important to understand where we have been. And that story you can follow in the Deadly Vibe Vault!

It’s that time of year again. Forget the ARIA’s it’s the ‘Deadlys’. And that means it’s your turn to vote for your favourite Indigenous music artists. September 23 is the ‘Deadlys’ night. A night when we recognise our own music artists and diverse talents.

Deadly Vibe readers have the chance to vote for the awards in all categories. Everyone who enters has the chance to pick up some great Deadly Vibe prizes. One entrant will win our grand prize of:

12 months subscription to Deadly Vibe mailed to your home

A Deadly Vibe T-Shirt

A Deadly Vibe Cap

Birrkuta (wild honey) – Yothu Yindi

5 x 12 inch long play Hip Hop Records

And much more

How do I vote and enter?

We want you, our readers, to cut out this section (you can tear it out if you want!) put ticks next to your chosen artist in each category. Then mail it back to us here at Deadly Vibe.
