Concert: Bat for Lashes at 7th Street in Minneapolis

When I saw Beatrix*JAR walk past me, I was shock to find out that they were the opening band for Bat for Lashes. I’ve seen them before at the Bryant-Lake Bowl and I know they sound nothing like Bat, but more similiar to such DJ acts like Benthley Rhythm Ace [W♥M].
It was cool though, I think the audience wasn’t expecting two DJs doing some live mixes on stage. I recorded a 50 second clip to show you what they sound like: stage6.divx.com
The crowd for Bat for Lashes was really healthy, more people showed up than I had expected. It was evident that a lot of these fans loved the video for “What’s a Girl to Do” because the crowd instantly started cheering when the first few notes of the song was played.

I think the best part about the show was the unconventional musical instruments that was brought on stage, including the infamous Shaman’s sceptre (the ceremonial head of the staff was removed, so it just looked like an ordinary wooden stick).
I’m including the rest of their tour – so check them out if they’re coming to your town.
