On Sunday night Sam and I walked to the Bowl to see Royksopp and Robyn. \u00a0Oops, I mean Robyn + Royksopp as the marquee corrected me. \u00a0Apparently, although I’d only ever seen it advertised as Robyn joining Royksopp, the concert had morphed into a Robyn show with some opening band called Royksopp.<\/p>\n
As it turns out there was an actual<\/em> opening act called Zhala<\/a>. \u00a0She gyrated up on stage in front of a Mexican flag performing karaoke of her own songs while the crowds lingered downstairs outside the amphitheater. \u00a0Even when Royksopp took the stage the throngs of young hipsters weren’t concerned with taking their seats. \u00a0I only remember twice during the entire concert that we spotted someone older than us, most of the crowd was about ten years younger.<\/p>\n As Royksopp began to play it was apparent that none in this young crowd were interested. \u00a0During songs where I had expected to have a Triumphant experience that could happen in Only This Moment, I felt more like Running To The Sea since 49 Percent of the crowd were acting like they were at a party and Royksopp was nothing more than a tv on in the next room. \u00a0Is this just how kids act at concerts now?<\/p>\n In the below video check out how not excited these kids are to see This Must be It, one of my favorite Royksopp songs. \u00a0 For me this was a disaster. \u00a0I thought I’d never get to see this song performed live, and in a way, I still haven’t.
