News: Bagga Bownz nominated TWICE for US Award

"The USA, very tough to get into for a non-US band". Definitely true…but hip-hop/rock band Bagga Bownz seems increasingly able to cross international borders. They went to the US twice before, to perform at the Midpoint Music Festival in Ohio and the Just Plain Folks Awards (JPF) in California.

And Bagga Bownz strikes again...

For the second time they are nominated for the JPF Awards, this time in the category "best hard rock song" with their song "Scream" and "best hard rock album” with their, 2008 release "Done With The Pain".

About the JPF awards
Just Plain Folks is a community of over 51,500 Songwriters, Recording Artists, Music Publishers, Record Labels, Performing Arts Societies, Educational Institutions, Recording Studios and Engineers, Producers, Legal Professionals, Publicists and Journalists, Publications, Music Manufacturers and Retailers and about every other type of member of the Music Industry. — and host to the world’s largest independent music awards. The organization was created to provide a network of cooperation and inclusion for musicians. The Just Plain Folks Music Awards — what started as an informal way to recognize their best member submissions has grown into the largest Music Awards program in the world! They screen more than 560,000 songs and over 42,000 albums in 70+ genres from 100 Countries to honor the very best works of their members. Their volunteer judges include industry professionals, peers and music fans.

Bagga Bownz and the U.S.A.
In 2008 and 2009, Bagga Bownz initiated a major promotional campaign in the U.S., as a result of which their album "Done With The Pain" is being played on hundreds of small, medium and large commercial radio stations. They reached a #34 position in the US Billboard ‘Hits of the web’, one of the most important charts of America. Mike McKnight, the musical director of Madonna, Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson, supports them and became a good friend of the band. In the Netherlands Bagga Bownz performed as support-act for well-known American acts like Bloodhound Gang, Papa Roach and Gym Class Heroes.

The awards
At the moment they are busy writing, producing and recording the successor to their debut CD "Done With The Pain". Whether they will return to the U.S. to perform at the 2009 JPF awards is still unclear. The award show will be held August 29 in Nashville, Tennessee.
