Guestroom Records Presents: Other Music Documentary Screening $11.50 | Any time Other Music was a New York record store that helped launch the careers of Vampire Weekend, Animal Collective and many other indie bands who gained popularity during the early 2000s. But, in 2016, Other Music closed in the face of rising rent and competition from digital music. Now, the makers of this documentary about the cultural landmark are working to make sure the same doesn’t happen to independent record stores around the United States, which are under particular pressure because of the novel coronavirus. Rent the film for three days and half of your ticket proceeds will go to Louisville’s Guestroom Records.Digital Pride Facebook Live Donations accepted | 8-9 p.m. Louisville’s drag culture is alive!
