THE LOVE SHOW / JULY 17TH / BROOKLYN (NY)

The Love show: the name itself ignites high expectations. But with a list of over thirty-five emerging and established artists who work with different mediums, the show plans to exceed hopes and offer something for everyone.

creation, destruction, oppresion, and the many experiential et ceteras.

A NIGHT OUT WITH NATASHA KHAN OF BAT FOR LASHES

Natasha Khan of Bat For Lashes has a thing for costumes, it’s no wonder since her onstage performances include Khan singing soulfully while wearing feathers in her hair and colorful paint on her face. Her vocals are bluesy and dramatic, and sometimes even Gypsy-like with a heavy collaboration of instruments including guitar, synths, harmoniums, all of which Khan plays herself. NY Times visits an East Village costume shop with the piglet nosed front woman and observes Khan as she shops then dines with band mates at Freemans Alley. And, there’s even a zing at Meg White of The White Stripes.
