[read more] OTHER MUSIC, NYC’s longstanding record shop/web store specializing in independent and obscure CDs, LPs & MP3s, and award winning DIY film producers and music lovers DIG FOR FIRE have partnered together for the fourth year to present the 2011 SXSW LAWN PARTY. Only minutes away from downtown Austin but an exhilarating open-air retreat from the madness of long lines and badge checks, this free, two-day party takes place on the beautiful, rolling lawns of the French Legation Museum and has quickly become one of the most talked about events during SXSW. Past year’s performers have included indie luminaries like Yo La Tengo, J. Mascis, Thurston Moore, and Camera Obscura, and new faves and groundbreakers, including The xx, Zola Jesus, Antlers and Toro Y Moi. Once again, Dig For Fire will be filming all of this year’s bands with show highlights edited into gorgeously shot multi-camera episodes and posted on youtube.com/sxswlawnparty.
