Philadelphia Grand Jury and PHDJ tour SA

Philadelphia Grand Jury are two childhood buddies of some 20 years: producer/singer/guitarist Berkfinger and bassist/keys-man MC Bad Genius. Joining them is 54-year-old African-American drummer Calvin, who used to session drum for US disco and funk acts like Earth Wind and Fire and bebop legend Sonny Stitt. Together this high-energy threesome is a self-funded, self-produced, self-engineered, self-released independent punk soul machine.

The band's first UK single, The Good News, is out through Beggar's singles label Too Pure and features garage punk B-side Ready To Roll.
