Punk rock/Oi! icon and Quakes anthem writer Lars Frederiksen (Rancid/The Old Firm Casuals/Oxley's Midnight Runners) is a long way from his hometown of Campbell at the moment, but his devotion as an Earthquakes Season Ticket Holder doesn't weaken when he's outside of the Bay Area, or even the country.
His legendary Bay Area band, Rancid, are currently touring South America, with stops in Brazil, Argentina and Chile to name a few. With a few days to kill in Buenos Aires before they rock Lollapalooza Argentina 2017, Lars & drummer Branden Steineckert, who most Quakes fans will remember from "Believe," the anthem he wrote for his hometown club Real Salt Lake, were given the unique opportunity to visit 78-year old Carlos Ruiz's mysterious sports shop in the suburbs of Buenos Aires.
