The Goldrush Tour was a North American
The tour is the first that Santogold has headlined herself. She previously opened for
Santogold also performs with the two backing dancers called SG-1s, who wear deadpan expressions and matching sunglasses.[8] They occasionally provide backing vocals and synchronized dancing.[9] Both girls are often in Santogold's music videos as well. One of the SG-1s is Moni-Jo, a musician, dancer and actress. The SG-1s however call themselves Agatha and Angus Gold.[8]
Critical reception
The Boston Globe said that Santogold "is built for theaters and maybe even arenas."[9] Metro International agreed, saying "Santi White won't be opening for the likes of Coldplay again."[10]
Santi was criticized for lipsyncing. Santogold does not always make use of her live band - one reviewer noted that "there is something mildly deflating about watching someone sing song after song backed not by actual people playing guitar, bass, and drums in the moment - right in front of us, right now - but rather the freeze-dried perfection of a digital recording of people playing guitar, bass and drums, somewhere else, a long time ago."[11]
