Bat for Lashes Tickets

Few vocalists out there 'truly' sound as good live as they do in recordings. Natasha Khan is one of those rare talents. She is as original as she is talented, and her energy is uniquely warm, even while delivering haunting, melancholy songs filled with a maturity beyond her years. My first viewing of a live performance by Bat for Lashes only served to confirm this opinion. The show at the Music Box @ The Fonda in Hollywood on August 31st, was apparently the last one of a month long tour- however you would not know it from the spirited performance, energy, and haunting vocals that Khan put out on stage. Simply amazing. I have little more to say, others will no doubt have better, more detailed reviews. The venue was great, although I have to say that the 6'4 tall bushy-haired blonde guy in front of me was blocking part of the show despite my best efforts to get away from him [Thanks Natasha for moving around on stage plenty so we could see you!] - The reason I bring this up is to suggest that should you purchase tickets to this venue, you may want to consider Balcony seating as I heard it was infinitely better. This certainly won't be my last Bat for Lashes concert. I'm still trying to convert friends and convince them that she is indeed "the next big thing", until that time, I will enjoy her in relative solitude and thank my lucky stars [and Big Sonic Chill on FM94.9 in San Diego] for discovering her. The Opening Act was also great, however I have to admit I have no idea who they were, nor did they seem to announce a name [that I could hear anyway]. Forgive my ignorance on this, they were very talented as well, and certainly deserve more thorough praise.

What a great show,not one bad song.One of the best female voices in the pop-to-rock music today.A lot of stage power,

First off Natasha Khan a.k.a. Bat for Lashes has a fantastic live voice. Most bands I've heard sound better on CD than live, but with Bat for Lashes I found the live performance to be superior. I really hope they do a live CD as that could be great to listen to. The energy of the band was high and Natasha was dancing around the stage a lot and the whole performance just worked really well. Having heard the CDs I was surprised that the energy was so high as I had really expected a more subdued performance, but it was a very pleasant surprise that I was mistaken. The opening act was very good, thought I didn't catch their name and the Music Box at the Fonda is a great smallish venue for concerts. Overall, definitely 5/5.......

Bat for Lashes rocked the Music Box with their amazing music and their stage presence. Other Lives, who opened the show, were so good. They had an amazing sound and used so many instrument, it made them very unique. Well needless to say both bands were outstanding and I would recommend anyone to go see them.

Natasha never disappoints!! This is the 3rd time i've seen her and every time she puts me under a spell!! Loves her and her music!!

No words can completely describe the experience I had last night seeing Bat for Lashes at the Fonda. They are an incredible band that are way under the radar. Shows at the Fonda are always amazing. I was introduced to this band by a friend and am so glad. I will most definitely go to another concert.

it was magic-she is beautiful and the entire band rocked the house! fan for life :)

One of the best acts of this generation. Beautiful vocals and enchanting and mesmerizing music. I can not wait to see her again. It is great to see someone also talented on several different instruments. I just wished she kept on playing!!!

Two fine artists (Other Lives and Bat For Lashes). You can't fault their musical performances. They are reliably exceptional. I'd recommend adjusting the sound. At a certain point increased volume distorts. That may be the speakers... I'm not sure. But I heard these artists at Spaceland (and Troubadour for BFL) plus on KCRW, where sound was superior. And with music, that's important. The DJ sets between seemed out of place with these artists.

The Bat for Lashes event was such an amazing experience. From the young vibrant crowd. To the mature hip music lovers. The stage decore, the groups energy. It was an all and all fun and ear happy experience. The music was so realistic, and sounds of Electronic and Indie Rock was so vibrant live. Bat for Lashes was so amazing. I would love to see them again.

Although I thought Bat For Lashes put on a technically perfect show, I thought the energy and song selection was a bit flat. One fan protesting, at the end of the show, with a full out scream of "BORING" and I have to confess, he wasn't completely wrong. I saw them in June at the El Rey theater and the band had a stellar performance and kept the whole audience moving. I think the temperature of the venue may have had something to do with it. Everyone in my section were wiping their brows of perspiration and it started to feel more like a yoga session than a performance. I think Natasha is brilliant, but in that fur trimmed body suit, even she couldn't help but sweat it out a bit. It's summer Fonda, set your thermostat on cool!!

Bat for lashes blew my mind. She truely can sing and perform like a goddess. She brings spirituality and howling to the full moon to life before your eyes. I loved it. Top five best concerts ever.

I must say this: Bat for Lashes is awesome on live performances. Her sound is amazing, besides how she acts on the stage, she gives the songs a very nice touch. Both her band and her gave an awesome performance, really worth watching!

....Incredible!!! Bat for Lashes was, I have to say, the best show I've seen this year. Not to mention a new member of my top five of all time. Their stage presence alone was outstanding, plus they're great musicians. They sounded as good as, if not better than, on their album. Natasha Khan is a goddesss of undiscribable nature.... Absolutly lovely! All Around Good Fun///?>

Bat for Lashes has tapped into something otherworldly and they channel it with grace and verve. It is not that often that we leave a show exclaiming, "Wow! They are better live!" Those were our exact words as we left the Wonder Ballroom.

Natasha has a great voice! Its like butter. The energy was electric and her band is freekin amazing also!

It was a great show. They created an intriguing mood. The music was both beautiful and at times chilling. The drums were very resonant and were almost like a military march.

With a bigger touring budget, I bet she could give Kate a run for her money. I loved the casual set up, with christmas lights, tinsel, and a stripped down sound that nonetheless did justice to her recordings. Her voice is amazing, and her shy but warm stage presence was lovely. All I could have wished for was an audience that would dance, though. Why are people so shy?

Bat for Lashes was unbelievably amazing, the lead singer (Natasha) was perfect in pitch and energy, the back up vocals were fantastic! The drummer and the bassist was right on cue! I love this band, and I am impressed by how great they sound and perform live!!

!!!!!!!! Wow..... Natasha not only creates the perfect environment for her music, but she performs it flawlessly. I wasn't sure what to expect live, but she was on pitch all night and sending chills down my spine with her ethereal vocals. The band was spot on with supporting vocals and the drum's were amazing. Also, The lighting and sound management contributed a lot to the show. The highlight of the show for me was “Siren Song” with the drums and lights pulsing in unison while Natasha’s passionate vocals rang out with ghostly timber. The venue was alright, I stood right in front near the piano for Natasha’s set, but during the opener I wasn’t thrilled with the view from the balcony or anything more than 30 feet from stage. However, if you get up close it’s a pretty intimate venue. When she took the piano for songs like “horse and I” I was about 3 feet away from her.. epic win XD (see pic) Someone next to me grabbed the setlist I was planning to take halfway through the show, but I’ll give an approximation of what I remember. I know there were more, and the order might not be exact. It was a good blend of old and new. Also, I think she did a couple songs that aren't on "two suns" or "fur and gold" so I don't know the names..
