Butler Field NorthAfter postmodern R&B songstress Santigold (Santi White) struts her stuff at the other end of the northern field–and either is hypnotizing or snooze-inducing; I’ve seen her be both–these genre-defying heroes of the underground should once again pick up the pace with their electrifying and unforgettably tuneful mix of noise- and dance-rock world rhythms experimental soundscapes and Tunde Adebimpe’s unforgettable vocals. Animal Collective 7:30 Hutchinson Field North (Vitaminwater Stage)If ever a group epitomized the new Lollapalooza’s ideal demographic mix of jam band electronic-dance and alternative rock it’s these Baltimore-to-Brooklyn transplants who are riding high on the best and most focused of their nine albums “Merriweather Post Pavilion. ” Even better they brought a similarly welcome discipline to their live show at Metro earlier this year. In fact after the Beastie Boys dropped out as one of two Saturday headliners their slot easily could have gone to the fancifully pseudononymous Avey Tare Panda Bear and Geologist. As it is Saturday will close with dance-punks the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the northern end of Butler and prog-metal favorites Tool at the southern end of Hutchinson. Both acts have their merits but neither is really headline-worthy for a world-class festival.
