Santigold has announced her first US tour in support of her forthcoming album Master of My Make-Believe (due out May 1 via Atlantic Records/Downtown Records). The tour comes on the heels of her recent performances at SXSW, which exploded into dance parties and received rave reviews. Armed with her hybrid anthems, misfit band, and unstoppable dancers, the SG1s, her singular live shows are always monumental. Prepare for the gold rush of 2012!

Living in LA isn’t as glorious as one might think. It’s definitely not the worst place someone can call home, but my con list is easily longer than my pro list. With that said, one pro of living in LA is the music scene. It’s not the best, but it’s definitely in the top 10 of the US. Each and every weekend, there are a handful of shows to choose from and even though I don’t even come close to taking advantage of this pro, it doesn’t mean the rest of you LA locals cannot and should not. So from here on out, i’ll be offering my personal recommendations for the upcoming weekend. Enjoy.
