"The Medics" swept the pool at the National Indigenous Music Awards, which also saw blind singer Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunipingu named best artist for the second year in a row.
The awards, which celebrate Indigenous music acts from all around Australia, were held at a concert attended by thousands at Darwin's Botanic Gardens last night.
Queensland four-piece band The Medics, who released their first album earlier this year, won best song and album and also picked up the best new talent award. Arnhem Land singer Yunipingu won top honours at the awards and was named best artist for a second time.
The win continues a big year for the blind singer - he was chosen to perform at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in June.
Newly-formed Arnhem Land band East Journey won Territory film clip of the year and an award for their contribution to the local music industry.
Pioneering Aboriginal country music star Jimmy Little, who died in April, was inducted into the Hall of Fame along with Northern Territory musicians the Lajamanu Teenage Band.
