Broods dominate the 2016 New Zealand Music Awards

For the second year in a row Broods have dominated at the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.

It was a clean sweep for the brother and sister duo of Caleb and Georgia Nott as they took out five of the night's biggest prizes, including the coveted and hotly contested People's Choice Award.

The pair also won Best Album of the Year and Best Pop Album of the Year for their latest record Conscious, Single of the Year for their song Free and the Tui for Best Group.

These wins see them beating last year's haul of four awards and pretty much confirms that yes, Broods are the All Blacks of New Zealand music.

Villainy picked up the Best Rock Album award and the Best Alternative Album Award went to Lawrence Arabia's 'Absolute Truth' beating out The Phoenix Foundation and Kody Neisen's new project Silicon.
