Deuce Management & Promotion is pleased to announce that Deuce Act Bedford received
the Best Rock Act Award at this year’s Hollywood Music In Media Awards (HMMA) which
took place on Thursday 18 November at The Highlands in the world famous Kodak Theater
complex in Hollywood, CA; home of The Oscars.
Based in Victoria, Australia, Bedford
were nominated for the Best Rock Act Award after judges heard their track Kinda Makes
Me Love You . Through winning this award, the band will have their material prioritised
for licensing opportunities to some of the biggest studios, networks, and advertising
agencies in the USA and around the world. Various opportunities are also likely to
come Bedford’s way through the prestige of winning the award and the exposure they
have received from it.

We would also like to congratulate 3 other Deuce Acts for reaching the nomination
stage at this year’s HMMA who are:
- Louise le Gry from the UK was nominated for Best Female Vocal Award .
Deuce has helped
Louise le Gry with two radio campaigns since 2008 which has resulted in extremely
positive feedback from presenters and listeners and has now seen her regularly being
featured on the Deuce Radio Show . Her debut album Shadows still continues to surprise
and delight people through her heart felt honesty and emotive sound and with this
nomination, more listeners are expected to be drawn to her music following the initial
8,000 downloads of the album within the first 6 weeks of release.

- Spaceship Days from North Carolina, USA were nominated for Best Alternative Act Award
Spaceship Days have made remarkable progress on the US music scene since forming

of REM and The Goo Goo Dolls and performed at the music event SXSW in Austin, Texas.

Age / Ambient Award

through inclusion on various compilation CDs, radio play on stations worldwide and

the release of the motion picture "Solitary Man", starring Michael Douglas, Danny

HMMA recognises music based on creative merit rather than artist popularity, airplay,
sales or label affiliation. Using this approach, it offers talented artists from
anywhere in the world exposure and connectivity to the most influential professionals
and organisations in the music industry and the ‘licensing machine’ of Hollywood.
The event has been shot and post-edited for a televised broadcast in 17 countries
including the UK and US territories expected to reach an estimated million households.

Deuce would like to congratulate Bedford on winning this award and we will keep you
up to date on further developments with the band.
