Can I get a hell yeah!?! So we are thrilled to announce that the kind folks at Pilam will be hosting The Deli’s Best of Philly Showcase on Saturday, April 24th. It’s an honor to be part of the great history of sonic debauchery at this staple in Philly’s proud DIY landscape. We think this year’s lineup speaks volumes about the diverse and amazing music growing locally in our backyard. We wanted to thank our jurors (below) who proudly support Philly’s indie music scene everyday, all the readers/fans who voted for their favorites and our Deli writers who just plain rock!
