Though I no longer live in NY, I still keep up on what’s happening in the local music scene there, and The Deli is a great place to start. For the first couple years of the magazine and website I was involved in a few different capacities (mostly writing record reviews, music news bits, and blog posts) and it’s great to see it doing so well. It’s hard to imagine that the one year anniversary party at Tonic was over 3 years ago.
Anyway, the Deli is celebrating the scene’s “Best Of NY” with a great festival in (mostly, with the exception of Joe’s Pub) Brooklyn from May 6-10. The After The Jump Fest is one of the sponsors of the event.
Check out the full festival schedule after the jump!

FUTURITY is an original indie-rock musical by Brooklyn band The Lisps. A theatrically staged song cycle, FUTURITY tells the story of a Union soldier in the Civil War who is an aspiring science fiction writer. The work fuses traditional Americana, found text, experimental music, and The Lisps’ own brand of quirky co-ed pop.
