“And Yawnfork continues.” – Jim DeRogatis
Robyn dominated Friday @ the Pitchfork Festival
“Who knew the best performer of the day would be a blonde bombshell spinning Euro-disco? Robyn — another Swede and a former child star who’s fought hard to regain her own artistic control — came out throwing punches in the air when she wasn’t doing that elbows-high, shoulder-leaning dance all ’80s female singers used to do. Fiesty, sexy, spunky, Robyn opened with the virtues of being a “Fembot,” assured us that love hurts “With Every Heartbeat” and sang flawlessly through new single “Dancing on My Own” in front of a band dressed in all white, twiddling knobs and pounding synth-pad drums. The latter really exploded at the end of “Cobrastyle,” with Robyn showing some kick-box dancing. Her Pink-ish pluck reached its zenith in “Don’t F—ing Tell Me What to Do,” during which she led some kind of aerobics class (sporting a totally Pat Benatar green beret, too). And she was the crowd favorite. Go figure.” [Chicago Sun Times]
Robyn is now on tour with Kelis (that tour includes three NYC shows).
This post comes five hours into Day Two of the 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival (which is streaming online). Tonight’s remaining acts are Wolf Parade, Panda Bear, and LCD Soundsystem. More pictures and a few videos from most of what came prior, below….
