London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/27/2010 -- MGMT is a Grammy nominated American band based in Brooklyn, New York, consisting of Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden. On November 14, 2007, Rolling Stone pegged MGMT as a top 10 "Artist to Watch" in 2008. MGMT was named 9th in the BBC's Sound of 2008 top 10 poll. MGMT were also named as Last.fm's most played new artist of 2008 in their Best of 2008 lists.

MGMT settled a legal dispute with the President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy in May 2009, receiving a settlement payment that they plan to donate to a charity to help musicians with similar legal battles. The song "Kids" was used on several occasions without permission (in 2008), at a party conference and in two online videos. The party paid a standard fee of €53 to the French music licensing party, but this license did not cover all uses of the song. The UMP, Sarkozy's political party, admitted that the song had been used without permission and offered a symbolic compensation of €1. The band rejected the offer, claiming it was "insulting".The band's lawyer commented that "we are dealing with acts of counterfeiting, with infringements of intellectual property".

MGMT was nominated for the 2010 Grammy Award for Best New Artist, and their track "Kids" was nominated for Best Pop Performance By a Duo or Group with Vocals.

These are the first Grammy nominations for the band. Their next album, Congratulations, is due to be released on April 13, 2010. The album was leaked onto the web on March 19. Because of this, MGMT put all of the songs available as streams from the official MGMT website.
