Way late on posting these…I saw Metric a couple weeks ago and it was nice to see them NOT at 1:30 a.m. (when I went to their show in New York last August, they started around 1:30 and I was exhausted/practically falling asleep standing up). The show was good but I wish they had played more old stuff…Oh well, I had fun!

Santogold show review on filter-mag.com
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”
