5th January 2009


The minute these tickets went on sale I bought ours... I knew that I would be massively pregnant, but I did not care, what I cared about was seeing this lady that I so enjoy in my car on a daily basis...

It sold out, and was packed, I did feel a little bit vulnerable, but it was worth every second!!! She came on almost on time, with her DJ (who I didn't enjoy prior to her set) and her hype girls, who I must say were dope... Thy really brought a lot to the show, even though their interaction was minimal... She cruised through her set list with no difficulty, singing and dancing, hitting all of the notes immaculately! It did help that Billboard still has effing superior sound (after all this time) so the clarity was fantastic, and you really could hear every lyric...

If you ever get a chance to see her, do it!

The only downside was not being in the front row...

Civil Society and Fuzzy present Santogold!
Santi White shuffles styles as matter-of-factly as your iPod; Im a Lady nods to both girl groups (the Ronettes) and boy groups (TV on the Radio), and Lights Out could be a lost Pretenders single." Rolling Stone Civil Society is very proud to announce the first Australian tour of Phillys finest, Santogold catch her only Melbourne solo show at Billboard January 5. She combines a voice rivalling M.I.A and Karen O with the sounds of New Wave, Ska, Dub, Grime, Baltimore Club and Hip-hop in a manner thats all of her own. On her first album Santogold has already collaborated with underground superstars Diplo and Switch plus Spank Rock, M.I.A., Radio Clit, Dr Israel and Freq Nasty. Beyond all the hype and the internet buzz Santogold has been delivering astonishing live shows with her full 7-piece band.

Aaaah yeah, I gots mine! Will be the big pregnant lady up the front on the verge of passing out ;)
