Coldplay Get Lost

Santogold might have been a bit of a strange opener for this show. Though, relatively speaking, there weren't that many people there for her set, the multi-styled songs from her self-titled debut full-length received more cheers than any opening act I've seen at the Air Canada Centre in a while. But by the end of her set it seemed like the...

Santo Gold Beats Santogold

We told you about hipster-friendly American pop/R&B/hip-hop artist Santogold being sued for name infringement by a multi-talented dynamo named Santo Gold in June.
