Santigold, Friday, Electric Arena
Atmosphere: Big ol' gathering of the funky Picnic tribes ready to welcome Santi White and her band back to Stradbally
High: She's got it and then some. Whether it was a bunch of bona-fide nuggets from her first album like Lights Out and Les Artistes or a couple of samples from her forthcoming new album, White¹s show was a delight. We really loved when her backing singers and dancers started swinging hammers too.
Low: The only low was that this was our first time to hear those new tunes so they lacked familiarity, but we¹re looking forward to rectifying that.
Quote: "I thought you said it was Santa Claus" (6 year old kid to his parent at the back of the tent)
Verdict: Very impressive performance from Santigold. They¹ll be talking about this one for quite some time
