I discovered Bat for Lashes ten years ago — but never knew how much I absolutely loved them until I saw Natasha Khan perform earlier this year at the Sinclair in Harvard Square. Every song she sang was beautiful and moody — and she set the tone herself with quiet little stories about each song. They are definitely one of my favorite shows I’ve ever been to.

What’s a Girl to Do – This was my introduction to Bat for Lashes. It’s a really weird video with a catchy tune.

Laura – This is a softer tune.

I Drove All Night – More of the Cyndi Lauper version. It’s hauntingly beautiful.

This Woman’s Work – a beautiful Kate Bush cover.

Close Encounters – She said she was inspired by Stephen Spielberg and was going through a phase where she was obsessed with Alien Abduction at the time.

This is a small watercolor I did after the show:

The Pixies

My first introduction to the Pixies was probably when I was working in a movie poster store (Pix Poster Cellar) in Harvard Square in the late 80’s. They were formed in Boston in ’86.

The Bombpops

Saw the Bombpops a few years ago at the Middle East Upstairs. If you want an up-close performance where you can hang with the band (before and after the show) – this is your venue. Notre Dame Breathe Can of Worms (Not the Rochester one) Dear Beer Be Sweet

Mazzy Star

One of my all-time favorite musicians, Hope Sandoval has been performing since the late ’80s, and still does on occasion. She’s originally from Santa Clara, CA. I was able to “see” her a couple of years ago at Brooklyn Steel, I put it in quotations because the performed her entire set with the lights off. […]
