The EG Awards of 2006 are the first Annual The Age EG (Entertainment Guide) Awards and took place at the Prince of Wales in October 2006.[1]
The awards were created to celebrate The Age's Entertainment Guide's 21st birthday, and people were asked to vote in a number of categories from acts over the past 21 years. More than 37,000 votes were tallied in the poll.[2]
MC Dave Graney accepting the award on behalf of TISM, (who wear masks when in public) saying, "Legend is an over-used word, but the Melbourne music scene is full of them. As merciless watchdogs of affectation, preciousness, hype and general bull---- in popular culture, they are without doubt the hardest working individuals ever to don balaclavas and dance like their pills are on fire."[2]
