Bat for Lashes - Vivid LIVE 2011

“Hello everybody!
Sorry its been so long since I last wrote… a lot of creative foraging has been going on under the dark cover of winter, along with snowy walks in the Sussex Downs, a billion cups of tea, an ever expanding jumper collection and lots of re-reading of childhood books… And now, finally, spring is here!
I am very happy to announce that we will be doing a live outing to Australia in June to play two nights at the Sydney Opera House! I’m so excited to take the live show over there, as we have never played Oz before. We are hoping to play an eclectic set - a mixture of full band, string quartet and perhaps a few musical surprises? It’s a pretty big one to start out with?!!! - bit nervous, but can’t wait to meet you all!
There are also a lot of new songs, films, drawings, paintings, ideas - all of it coming together slowly but surely. It may still be a while, but I’m looking forward to sharing the new record with you.
Finally, I will leave you with a picture of my new kitten. She has been both a great new friend and a brilliant hot water bottle these past months! Ha!

Natasha

PS- please check out our friend Josh Pearson’s beautiful new record “Last of the Country Gentleman” - it’s been a long time coming, but worth the wait…”

Bat for Lashes plays her only live shows this year by invitation of the Vivid LIVE arts festival in Sydney, Australia. The shows will be held at Sydney Opera House, one of the world’s most iconic buildings, on 3rd and 4th June 2011.

Watch Animations from Bexhill Show

For those who attended the one-off Bat for Lashes show in Bexhill earlier this year you may remember the animation projected onto the back of the stage and wondered who had made it.

The animations were a collaboration between Robin Bushell and Julia Pott. You can visit their websites by clicking on their names, where you can see more of their wonderful work.

For those of you who weren’t able to make the show, here is a chance to see them.
