A little known 21-year-old musician has risen to the top of the Australian music video ranks beating out Kate Miller-Heidke and Alpine in this year's Sound Kilda competition.
The winners of the SoundKilda music video competition for this year have been announced with a relatively unknown 21-year-old Melbourne guitarist who goes by the name of Roadgeek and fellow Melbourne rockers Children Collide sharing the top honour of Best Music Video for 2012.
Part of the St Kilda Film Festival, Sound Kilda features five awards that are offered to the best overall video, as well as Best Independent Video, Best Animation as well as an audience award. This year the top honour was shared between Children Collide for their lauded Loveless clip and Melbourne's Michael Shanks, who goes by the name of Roadgeek, whose On The Borderline video also earned him the Best Independent Music Video Award.
On The Borderlinewas directed and produced by Michael Shanks and Loveless directed by David Michód and produced by Michael Cody.
