Sorry Chicago, Robyn's not going to make it tonight ... but if you have tickets you'll have a chance to see her next week! more ›

Robyn gave a great performance at the Metro recently, but it almost didn’t come to pass. Chicago fans of Swedish dance-pop queen almost had a heart attack when the “Dancing On My Own” singer announced that she was canceling a show in Toronto, as well her scheduled performance on Sound Opinions. But, luckily, she pulled through. Not one to let illness—or anything else, for that matter—get in her way, Robyn announced a whole slew of 2011 tour dates in support of her Body Talk series of EPs, the third of which was released today. Her Chicago date is February 11 at the Riviera Theatre. more ›

Day One of Pitchfork Music Fest 2010 was sunny and hot, many already sweating by the time they entered the grounds. It was a new early start to the first day, with the gates opening at 3 p.m., but that didn't seem to have much effect on numbers as a large crowd still came through the gates for the earliest acts that opened the fest. Of course, the story was, and will be all weekend, the heat. With highs expected to surge into the low-to-mid 90s today with a healthy dose of humidity, yesterday's drier albeit still warm conditions looked to be the best day of weather for the fest. Which is why an announcement was made during the afternoon that for the duration of the weekend, the price of bottles of water were cut from $2 to $1, a savvy move of good PR as well as general safety for the masses. Despite a few glitches (during Broken Social Scene) and the continued issue of sound bleed on the B Stage, the sound continues to improve, which bodes well for loose, electronic acts like Neon Indian, Washed Out and Sleigh Bells more ›

Last week, we gushed about the State-side release (finally!) of Swedish pop star Robyn's self-titled record. A magnificent, intelligent slice of dance-pop heaven, the record has been garnering rave reviews, even three years after its release on her native continent of Europe. Now she's on a cross-country trek to continue her quest to capture our American hearts, minds, and ears. We caught up with her on the day after the record's release, as she was traversing between East Coast shows, to get her thoughts on the record's long path to U.S. release, how the internet has affected her popularity, having her own record label, and appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman. more ›
