Location Info

Digital Underground

Digital Underground performs an intimate benefit for National Alumni Association of the Black Panther Party on Saturday, June 16, in the Lounge at Yoshi's S.F. 10:30 p.m., $30-$35.

Since the Oakland-bred rap group Digital Underground was the first to take a young Tupac Shakur on the road as a backup dancer and roadie, and produced his early hits "I Get Around" and "So Many Tears," every live show contains a heartfelt and knowing tribute to its members' fallen friend, with passionate snippets of his songs and an audience full of people throwing two fingers in the air. On what would have been Shakur's 41st birthday, Digital Underground dedicates its entire show to the late rap legend.

  • Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
