Videos From Robyn At Highline Ballroom, NYC 2/6/07

Finally, the wait was over; Robyn took over Highline Ballroom for her first NY show in ten years ever. (According to her banter she never even played here with a live band in those "Show Me Love" days -- which, btw, she played last night). And it was good. Slightly (but not much) more articulate fanboy gushing later today with pics of the pop princess in all of her many modes and moods, but for now we bring you to the show via video by our good photo-friend Abbey Braden. Here Robyn organizes her bada-boom-booms on "Konichiwa Bitches":

You'd never tell, but she is SO SHORT. But you probably can tell, she's charisma plus. And you can also tell, everyone knew every word, every song. "With Every Heartbeat" after the jump.

Still recovering. More later.

You know, I feel very very very fortunate to have seen her live, even it was just a 30 minute showcase. It was an awesome show nonetheless, even if the crowd (the ones who weren't Swedish expats) was mostly dead. What I wouldn't give to be part of the crowd in the video. I fell in love with her in her 'Show Me Love' days, I fell in love with her all over again that night.

Oh, and it was a free showcase, which I felt so guilty about, I actually bought her CD right after. Imagine that.

Yeah, fuck cheesy mid 90s pop, where's my indie rock? I want to read about Neko Case and for the 60th time!

Get a life/clue Andrew. Robyn is awesome.
