.Santigold may have nixed her North American tour, but those missing her live set can tune into a special one via NPR’s Tiny Desk performance.
The set hearkens back to White’s roots when she was in the punk band Stiffed. “What’s really interesting and special about this is that it gave me an opportunity when I was thinking, you know, what am I gonna do, like I’m not really an unplugged artist… And I was like, punk — which is kinda my roots as a performer — is kind of raw.” So, she assembled a band for the set.
The group included drummer Chuck Treece, who has worked with a range of artists, including Bad Brains and Billy Joel, and was in Stiffed with White. She also recruited Twin Shadow on bass, Ray Brady on guitar and synth, and Melanie Nyema and Stephany Mora served as backup singers. She performed five songs, including her breakout single, “L.E.S. Artistes,” and “I’m a Lady” — both from her 2008 debut album,included “Shake” and “Fall First.” She closed with Stiffed’s “Ain’t Got Enough.”
