Music Menu Santigold opening for Chili Peppers tonight at the Arena (4/6/12)

SANTIGOLD One of the more adventurous contempo-pop songstresses, "Creator" creator Santigold will perform at the arena Friday, opening for some obnoxious white-boy funk-rock band whose name ... uh - well, it rhymes with Bed Rot Shilly Lepers. (Feel free to take a pass on the headliners and make it an early night.) Santi White's database of skittering, buzzing electro-skra plucks some of the better elements of '80s punk and new wave, cuts and pastes it with some forward-looking production tricks and adds, by turns, a little of the sassy sweetness of Gwen Stefani, the raw DIY aesthetic of the Slits, and the rude-girl rap of M.I.A. From the melodic hits ("L.E.S. Artistes," "I'm a Lady") to the more out-there fare like the electronic minimalism of "Starstruck" and dubby elasticity of "My Superman," Santigold's '08 debut was an out-of-the-box classic. Here's looking forward to the new material from her long-awaited second set, Master of My Make-Believe. And while all the Lepers fans are going nuts for their heroes' embarrassing Hendrix impersonations and bad Funkadelic moves, you can make your easy exit out to the parking lot. $47.15-$69.15. Time Warner Cable Arena.
