2008 PLUG Awards: The Indie Rock Uneventful

For sets from Nick Cave, Jose Gonzalez, St. Vincent, and more, New Yorkers went the distance but met underwhelming proceedings.

Drainpipe-denim-sporting rock fans flocked en masse to the dusty reaches of one of Manhattan's last standing factory-villes last night (March 6) for the 2008 PLUG Independent Music Awards ceremony, held at West Side venue Terminal 5. But despite the promising bill -- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, St. Vincent, Dizzee Rascal, the Forms, and Jose Gonzalez, among others -- attendees were met with a humdrum indie rock rendition of American Bandstand. And comedian/host Patton Oswalt ain't no Dick Clark neither!
