It was certainly Empire Of The Sun’s night at this year’s ARIA Awards. Four ARIA Award wins and a mind blowing performance of Walking On A Dream can only mean one thing, they are THE Empire Of the 2009 ARIA Awards!
A spectacular set design of blue pillars and an enormous sun surrounded the band and dancers as they performed to a very appreciative crowd. The performance ended in dramatic style with a shower of pyrotechnics.
Empire Of The Sun won the sought after:
- Awards for Album of the Year
- Single of the Year (Walking On A Dream)
- Best Group
- Best Pop Release
The Empire was represented by Luke Steele who thanked Nick Littlemore who plays a producing role in the band and who is currently overseas, Donnie Sloan who contributed to the creative on some tracks and Peter Mayes who engineered the album. Empire Of The Sun are taking their live show on the road with front man Luke Steele leading the charge surrounded by dancers and band members Anthony Mitolo and Surahn Sidhu.
