Laneway Festival 2013 - Part IX - Bat For Lashes.

Bat For Lashes was up next and was one of the most anticipated acts of the day for many.

Nominated for Best Solo Female Artist at this year's Brit Awards, Natasha Khan emerged on stage in a maroon dress with matching pleated poncho and a white headpiece with a huge smile across her face.

On her first ever visit to New Zealand, Khan had the crowd in the palm of her hand from the first note of opening song ‘Sleep Alone’, and as she danced around on stage, maraca in hand, it was the first true ‘performance’ of the festival... and while stage props were at a minimum, Khan just had a way of making her set more theatrical than her festival counterparts managed.
