Yes, we know. It’s October, and the fall season is upon us with plenty of darker, drearier days of winter to come. Well, we here at The Deli have been working on some sweet shows to make sure that this won’t be your season of discontent. And let us tell you that October is going to be nuts! We’ll be starting it off this weekend when we co-present with Dock Street Brewing Co. Grandchildren’s Album Release Party on Friday, Oct. 8 at JB’s with special guests San Fran’s Little Teeth, Hermit Thrushes and The Armchairs. But don’t blow your load to early and save some energy for the rest of the month because we’ll be back the following week at JB’s on Friday, Oct. 15 for The Deli’ Anniversary Party with very special guests The Extraordinaires, An American Chinese and Power Animal as well as DJ Jersey Dan and visual art by Meredith Edlow. We are super stoked about this show and will have plenty of more surprises for you! It is going to be legen-…wait for it…-dary!!! But the fun doesn’t stop there because our favorite holiday, Halloween, is coming up, and there will be no rest for the wicked that weekend. The Deli will be presenting Grimace Federation’s Album Release Party on Friday, Oct. 29 at JB’s with West Philadelphia Orchestra and Univox, and our buddy TJ Kong (a.k.a. Dan Bruskewicz) has asked us to bring in this most fun and sexiest of holidays with him and a bunch of his music friends for the TJ Kong_Halloween_CostumeBall_RockandRoll_Murdershow on Sunday, Oct. 31 at the Ukie Club. This is a big one to close out a most excellent October! You’ll be treated to performances by Toy Soldiers, TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb, The Spooks, Cheers Elephant, Busses, Ugh, God, Da Comrade!, The Powder Kegs, The Yes Way, Penrose and Flamingo as well as more special guests (if that wasn’t enough), games, costume prizes, free food and cheap beer. October is going to be RAD! – The Deli Staff
