Sticky Carpet is thrilled to announce that Died Pretty will be inducted into the EG Hall of Fame this year, and will headline the EG Awards at St Kilda's Prince Bandroom on Thursday, December 4. It will be their first greatest-hits show in Melbourne in eight years, and probably their last pub show in this city.

This year's concert celebrates the best music of 2008 through our online public-voted awards and the choice of Melbourne's best young party band, Little Red, to open the show. It will also be a nod to the past, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Australian rock; many of the artists that featured in EG's Top 50 albums poll in June will perform songs on the night. Apart from Died Pretty, whose Doughboy Hollow was ranked #28, some of Melbourne's favourite singers will perform classic Australian songs backed by our house band, the EG Allstars.

Mark Seymour will belt out the classic Say Goodbye from Hunters & Collectors' Human Frailty (#19) backed by Hunters trumpet player Jack Howard; Dave Faulkner will sing I Want You Back off the fifth-ranked album Stoneage Romeos; Even will play Stop and Go Man off Less is More (#30); Little Birdy's Katy Steele will perform a Paul Kelly song (Gossip and Post both landed in the poll) and Ash Grunwald will crank out Black and Blue off Chain's killer Toward the Blues album (#39).
