Bat For Lashes @ The Varsity 10/3/07
(Bat for Lashes set list)
Unbelievable show! A Mercury Prize nominee delivered quite the show. Very Imogen Heap like with a native twist. Natasha the lead singer's dad is from Pakistan where she grew up for many years inheriting a middle eastern culture. And her mom is from England where Natasha is currently residing in Brighton. The Varsity had a lot of competition tonight but their were a good 150 people at the show. Bat For Lashes were here about 4 months ago at the Entry. Next time they come back to the Varsity it will sell out. Natasha has an amazing voice and incredible backing band. Flutes, drums, boards, violins, and instruments I've never seen before contributed to the set. If you haven't seen the video check it out below, she has gotten a lot of attention from the animal heads and the bikers.

Expecting Bjork but heard more on the Loreena McKennitt side. Echos of 60's britpop and folk along with Eastern, medieval, and Nordic Roots influences. Talented performer, absolutely deserving nominee for this year's UK Mercury Prize.
Of course The Varsity was a perfect venue for them but wish I had seen their show in The Entry a few months back.
aw you guys are cute together. :D love Natasha so much!
nice blog post too! :)
