Whilst many of you may be scorching in un-airconditioned offices or stuffy motor vehicles today, turn your thoughts to Autumn. Specifically October.
As well as Pixies having decided to shuffle around (mostly Northern) Europe, the fairytale spinning Natasha Khan - aka Bat For Lashes - is going to traipse up and down this island playing the finest Bars and Music Halls.
Orrrr mid to large sized venues...
October 1: Opera House, Bournemouth October 2: Dome, Brighton October 4: Corn Exchange, Cambridge October 5: Roundhouse, London October 6: Roundhouse, London October 9: Colston Hall, Bristol October 10: O2 Academy, Liverpool October 12: Rock City, Nottingham October 13: O2 Academy, Leeds October 14: Academy, Manchester October 16: Great Hall, Cardiff University October 17: Octagon, Sheffield October 19: O2 Academy, Glasgow October 20: HMV Picture House, Edinburgh
Catch her if you can!
On guitar: Charlotte Hatherley.
Tickets on sale from 9AM tomorrow.
Watch Bat For Lashes' network debut, on Letterman. Her version of 'Daniel' is not to be confused with the Elton John song of the same name, which is probably a little bit better.
