Santigold is playing a sold out show at the 930 Club tonight, June 10th. Doors open at 7pm and her openers are Amanda Blank and Trouble Andrew. Santigold was one of the breakout artists of 2008 and is keeping herself hot in 2009 with her tour and many appearance during the festival circuit. Santigold started as a music writer and producer before becoming a lead singer of a punk band then branching out on her own. She decided to change her name from Santogold to Santigold after a lawsuit was pending due to a gold jeweler named "Santo Gold" (how fucking lame). Her sound is unique and draws from many different influences. Each song has a different sound but are all uniquely Santigold. Rolling Stone awarded her song L.E.S. Artistes as their #2 best song of 2008 (#1 being Beyonce 'Single Ladies'). Her song, 'Lights Out' was and still is featured on the Bud Light Lime commercials. Upon seeing one of these commercials, an old roommate said, "oh yeah, all these people are sitting at a tailgate drinking Bud Light Lime and listening to Santigold." While I will be unable to attend her show tonight, which I'm sure is going to be awesome, she is playing Lollapalooza so there is always a chance that I may catch her there.
