Santigold at Northern Lights
(Insert your own description of her genre) singer Santigold is playing Northern Lights May 12. Tickets go on sale this Friday (April 6). They're $25.
If you haven't heard Santigold, you've probably still heard Santigold. Songs off her debut album -- "L.E.S. Artistes," especially -- were pretty everywhere in 2008 and 2009. Since that album, she's toured and/or worked with all sorts of acts -- from Diplo to Coldplay to M.I.A. to Bjork to Jay-Z to Kanye to Karen O to The Lonely Island. (You should check your own discography -- she probably sang on one of your tracks.) As a writer for Stereogum recently remarked: "Santigold is the best, biggest pop star, and the perfect person to rep our pre-apocalyptic polyglot universe."
She has a new album coming out in May. There's a good chance you've already heard a single off it.
Passion Pit at Northern Lights
Electrpop band Passion Pit is scheduled to play a show at Northern Lights April 23. Tickets go on sale this Friday -- they're $25.
You've heard Passion Pit even if you've never heard of Passion Pit. For example: "Little Secrets". They're filed in the same bin as MGMT. And for whatever reason, they seem to get remixed and mashed up a lot. (What? A Passion Pit/MGMT mashup? Now the electropop bands are feeding on each other! Madness! Someone turn off the lights at American Apparel!)
