Who opened for Coldplay in D.C. last night?

Question

I think it was supposed to be Juniper Lane, but I think it was actually someone else - a girl. It was very strange music w/ an African vibe. I loved it! I thought she said Sonja Bowles or something, but it was hard to hear in there. Thanks!

Answer 1

Perhaps you were thinking of Brooklyn, New York's Santogold, who scored a few support slots with Coldplay this summer. Her tour with the Brits wraps tonight in Boston.

Check her out on her MySpace at:

Answer 2

Juniper Lane was the first opener.  Santogold came second.  You can see pics of JL on flickr.
