Irma Herrera’s show "Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name?" weaves history and comedic insights into stories about names as she sheds light and throws shade on societal prejudices and assumptions. When giving her name its correct Spanish pronunciation, some people assume she’s a foreigner – despite the fact that Irma’s family has been in South Texas for generations, or that she is an award-winning social justice activist, lawyer, and journalist. Coming to The Marsh San Francisco, Irma’s notes from American history and laugh out-loud humor invite audience members to consider what it will take for everyone to get along.

  • 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.'"
