Sweet Disposition, written in early 2008 by guitarist Lorenzo Sillitto and singer Dougy Mandagi, was named song of the year by the Australasian Performing Right Association’s 30,000 eligible members.
But since being released in September 2008 the winning blend of U2 guitars and the Indonesia-born Mandagi’s distinctive falsetto has kicked open doors for The Temper Trap, who are one of the hottest new Australian bands to emerge in recent years.
Sweet Disposition has been a hit here and overseas, and featured in films, television and advertising campaigns around the world.
Last year The Temper Trap went home empty-handed from the ARIA Awards despite having four nominations, so it was a “big thing” for the band to be recognised by their peers at the APRAs.
As the successful songwriters could not attend tonights awards, their mothers went instead.
