Last weekend I had a visit to my lovely city from "Zeroskilz":http://mog.com/Zeroskilz. We hit the town *HARD*, and so for our last hurrah on Sunday, we shifted down to a low gear for Bat for Lashes.
Opening was Chris Chavez. This guy was an amazing one-man-band. He was rather earnst and spirital for me (he did lots of the praying hands/bowing thing) but he had a Kings of Leon bluesy sound to him and would play a 12 string guitar AND a regular acoustic guitar _at the same time!_ Sounded great, and at one point I realized I was standing with my mouth hanging open. I have never seen anything like it before. I should have bought the EP he was slinging, but I dorked.
I didn't know what to expect from Bat for Lashes. I had listened to their CD wasn't blown away; some Enya-ish songs, some almost pop.The band has some strange dynamics: all were women dressed in some fancy pants costumes and makeup, a couple of them with a serious Stepford wife thing going on. 
But the lead singer, Natasha Khan, was adorable. She had a sweet, clear voice and a sweet, humble attitude. I completely enjoyed the music and the show, despite the fact Natasha had a creature in her throat that in her words, wasn't happy, and cut the encore short
The Bat for Lashes show was a great end to a great weekend. We had rocked hard the previous three nights and needed something soothing like this, IMHO. I had a good time, and I hope Mike had a good time, and I believe Natasha had a good time too.
