Tonight's Pick: Santigold at Lupo's

I'm personally of the belief that Wednesdays are made for dancing.  Lucky for me, and those of you also looking for some midweek grooving, Lupo's and WBRU are bringing Santigold to town tonight! Since her 2008 debut, kicked off by the success of singles "Creator" and "L.E.S. Artistes," Santi has yet to put out a tune that hasn't gotten a whole room moving. 

Santigold is currently touring in support of her sophomore album, Master of My Make-Believe, an album that caught the attention of the art world as well as the music industry.  The Master cover features a portrait of Santi by contemporary artist Kehinde Wiley, Wiley's first-ever depiction of a female subject.  Now if that doesn't convince you she's the real deal, I'm not sure what will.  Check out the making of the bad-ass album cover below:

Santigold will be joined by Brooklyn-based hipster-rapper Theophilus London. Not only will you dig his music, you'll envy his ability to rock a patterned button-down and shades.
