Deli LA Readers,

After a tight competition, talented pop songwriter Sue Scrofa (in the picture with her band) won our Fans and Readers' Poll for Emerging LA Artists, with a few dozens vote margin over fast and loud art-punk-rockers Stab City. Let us congratulate both bands, who also deserve a big Deli "Thank You" for spreading the word about the poll. Check out also rootsy pop ensemble Yellow Red Sparks, who placed third. Top ten list below, final results of The Deli's Best of LA Poll for Emerging Artists (which also include jurors and writers votes) will be announced soon.
