photos by Bao Nguyen Karen & Santi Santigold , who is releasing her new album, Master of My Make-Believe , this spring on Downtown/Atlantic, performed material from it at her two sold out MHOW shows which happened last night (1/17) and Monday night (1/16). In a couple of days she leaves on tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers . At last night's show, Karen O joined her [...]

"Eu me conecto com música que me faz me sentir viva, ou com um senso de possibilidade. Música é poderosa." Santigold está de volta, e foi assim que a artista, revelada em 2008 por singles como L.E.S. Artistes e Lights Out , definiu seu novo álbum Master of My Make-Believe para a revista V .

Since then, we've haven't heard much more about the Philadelphia native's upcoming sophomore album, though her name has shown up on tracklists for The Lonely Island , Spank Rock , and Amadou & Miram , as well as on Coachella's 2012 bill .

The stellar line-up included Janelle Monae, Cee-Lo Green, Res, Ninjasonik, Das Racist, Kenna, and Santigold . This was also to serve as my Santi fix for the year in anticipation of the new material, and my first time seeing her live since Lollapalooza ages ago in 2009! Fast-forwarding to last night, the first of two sold out consecutive last minute warm up shows at Music Hall of [...]
