New live review/photos: Santogold @ Saint Andrews Hall

September 30, 2008 Leave a comment

On Saturday a couple of friends and I ventured from East Lansing to Detroit to see Santogold, whose album I have pretty much been wearing out on my computer … I would’ve had to wait hours to see her at Central Park Summerstage in July (but didn’t get in), but Michigan is no New York. So, I was really curious what the crowd would be like and guessed that maybe Saint Andrews would be pretty empty. And it was. We’re talking balcony blocked off and floor half full (and the venue only has a thousand-person capacity).

The show was a ton of fun though — we danced and danced, more so during the second and third openers (Plastic Little and A-Trak) than during Santogold, but that’s OK.

Santogold’s setlist:

“You’ll Find A Way”
“L.E.S. Artistes”
“Shove It”
“Say Aha”
“Lights Out”
“Anne”
“My Superman”
“Guns of Brooklyn”
“Icarus”
“Starstruck”
“Creator”

Encore:
“Get It Up”
“Unstoppable”

Plastic Little. They were hilarious, but the best part was the girl in the photo below. I will dance like her for the rest of my life.
