Ricardo, on the left, checked out $10 Manu Chao T-shirts sold by a street hawker outside the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium after the concert Wednesday night. He instead bought the shirt off the hawkers back for $20 bucks, a tribute to Eskorbuto, a 1980's punk band from Basque region of Spain. He then realized it was printed on a soccer jersey, and probably wasn't from Spain at all. Damn.

Father and daughter team? Who knows? But they were rocking hard while opener Firme played.

Wednesday was the third concert for Eco Lopez, 25, from Grass Valley, California. She said he is "much bigger" in her native Uruguay.

clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
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.'"
