CBC Bucky Awards: Dan Mangan Makes Out With Sexiest Artist Award

Chromewaves

If there's one thing that the 2011 Bucky Awards taught us it's that Canadian indie music fans heart Dan Mangan. The Vancouver singer-songwriter won Best Song back in 2009 for 'Robots' so he was all too happy to accept the honour again Dec. 7 for 'Row of Houses' at the CBC Radio 3 Awards, as voted by the online radio station's fervent fans.

Mangan also walked away with the Sexiest Artist award, which was a bit of a surprise and even the adorable singer seemed abashed at his win, especially considering he beat out sexpots like the Handsome Furs.

Austra, seemingly the critical favourite with 'Lose It,' was overlooked for Best Song, frontwoman Katie Stelmanis did not go empty-handed, deservedly winning for Best Voice. Montreal transplants Braids won for Best New Artist while Arkells took home Best Live Show, beating out the likes of Rolling Stone cover boys the Sheepdogs and beloved hardcore crew F----ed Up.
