hey y'all! this past weekend i had the pleasure of seeing swedish pop sensation **robyn** play live at the troubadour - which i believe happened to be her first show here in los angeles! the energy level was insane - she has a huge gay following and we were all out in full force that night! her set lasted a little over an hour - and she handled each track with ferocious energy - she's a tiny little thing - but damn - girlfriend was unstoppable! you might remember her hit from back in '97 show me love - she did a great stripped down version on saturday night (there's video posted below - the quality isn't super but you'll get the idea!) she also recently released an EP here in the states called the rakomonie which i highly suggest picking up on itunes - which includes an acoustic version of her smash UK hit with every heartbeat (catch the video below - it's a kick-ass song!) i also love handle me (that video is below as well)
it's amazing to see someone come from a manufactured pop background - to becoming a unique & individual artist with an incredible style all her own ten years later! right after robyn's show ended i happened to see one other blogger there - ugh - i won't name names but i'm sure many of you know who i'm talking about...then i headed straight over to catch ashlee simpson which just like i suspected was a totally different scene - i'll be posting on that soon! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
