MUSIC

Robyn A platinum blond proponent of Scandinavian efficiency, the electro-pop singer Robyn lives by the mantra that Fembots have feelings too. At a moment when Lady Gaga found success in hugeness and epic dance beats, Robyn keeps things smaller, using club sounds to get at intimate emotional ideas while never losing a certain sass. With the excellent electronica combo Royksopp. Hollywood Bowl, 2301 N. Highland Ave. L.A. 7 p.m. $29.50-$87.50. hollywoodbowl.com.
