Santigold playing a benefit, WNYC's GREENE SPACE TODAY, lots of fests & other 2009 Tour Dates

Santigold

Santigold is playing a benefit on Friday, May 1st at The Jane (113 Jane St). Her set is part of a fund-raiser for non-profit The Art of Elysium. According to the flyer (below), tickets run a $100 donation.

Today, Wednesday, April 29th at 2pm, Santigold will be appearing with Lou Reed and others at the WNYC's new Greene Space venue for a live broadcast of that station's Soundcheck program . That event, like the inaugural concert April 28th, is invitation-only. Both shows will be streaming live at the Greene Space's website though, and on WNYC 93.9 FM.

Santi has a whole slew of summer fest appearances coming up. Those include May 25th at Sasquatch! Festival, the Roots Picnic in Philly on June 6th, Bonnaroo on June 12th, a stretch of European fests & shows in July/August, and Lollapalooza on August 7th.

Her own headlining show at Terminal 5 with Amanda Blank and Trouble Andrew on Tuesday, June 9th appears to be sold out.

why did she change her name? p diddy syndrome?

Nay, there is a gold company called Santo Gold and they asked her to change her name with a potential lawsuit thrown against her. Her name is Santi White anyway, so I think Santigold is a better fit.

I will donate $100 to the charity that gets her to stop.

No in fact this is why she had to change her name.
