In preparation for their upcoming South American tour with Coldplay, Bat for Lashes played two sets at the De La Warr Pavilion in England’s Bexhill-on-Sea last Friday night (2/19). While the first set, a 45-minute sampling of songs from their 2-album discography, was notable for being the group’s first public show with new drummer Valentina Mageletti, it was the second set that brought us the headline…
After a 20-minute break, frontwoman Natasha Khan and company returned with a string quartet for—what she announced online before the show would be—an exclusive one-off set, featuring covers of Radiohead In Rainbows single “All I Need” and “Wild Is the Wind” (which she perhaps first heard on David Bowie’s Station to Station).
I won’t vouch for the video quality here, but the audio is quite good: Hear Bat for Lashes cover their former tour/dinner mates’ “All I Need” here or below:
