Wu-Tang Clan & More To Play Village Voice SXSW Party

Carrie Brownstein of Wild Flag

Wow.  The lineup has been announced for the Village Voice Media Party and it's a crazy one.  The line up this year, featuring Wu-Tang, Fishbone, Trae the Truth, Yelawolf, Rocky Business, Trouble Andrew, Marz Lovejoy and a DJ set by Eryka Badu, is heavy on the hip-hop, a stark contrast to the line up last year.  Indie super group Wild Flag, featuring members of Sleater-Kinney, Helium and Quasi, and Austin's own indie sweethearts Ume will add some indie flavor to the show. 
The Houston Press website has more information.
