Deli Readers,
We are proud to announce that The Deli’s Best Emerging Los Angeles Artist of 2012 is Zig Zags! With a recent Iggy Pop collaboration and a cassette release on Burger Records, the psych-leaning punk act held a solid lead over trippy, psychedelic rock band, The Vim Dicta. Taking third place is gritty singer-songwriter, Meg Myers.
You can catch Zig Zags live at The Fonda on February 14. A perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day – check out their track streaming at the bottom of this post.
