Bat For Lashes Brings "Sleep Alone" To Fallon

James Fallon invited Natasha Khan to perform the latest Two Suns single on his late night show yesterday. That'd be "Sleep Alone," which has a video and a remix, and is a sexy, synthy document of a restless, loveless, and solitary night in Khan's bed. After seeing her dance across increasingly larger stages over the past few years, it's almost like the Late Night soundstage (which incidentally has never looked smaller) can't contain her, which makes for its own brand of interesting TV. And it looks like Jimmy took my suggestion last week (more believable to think he just found Natasha particularly compelling), because Bat For Lashes gets one of the warmer and more sincere post-performance congratulations I can remember. And hey Demi, looks like Ashton Kutcher was into it, too.

As for Bat For Lashes' Lolla set: it may have been "highly praised," but it definitely didn't feature the best dancing.

Two Suns is out.

Of course Ashton Kutcher was into it. It's Natasha Khan we are talking about here, she is 100% hotness anywhere she performs.

Not a fan. Her wings make her look like John Stamos in Full House, and one of the other girls is wearing high waters. And that's not counting the music is boring. I'd rather hear portishead or beachhouse than another proto disco soul group of white indie kids.

Saw this last night, loved it. Love Natasha always, and she's epic live. Seemed to me like the croud didn't really know what to make of it though.

I couldn't get over how HUGE and AWESOME Charlotte Hatherley's guitar sounded during the Late Night performance. Brought something extra to "Sleep Alone" that wasn't there before.

It's interesting how different performers react on the stage. Just the other day, the Passion Pit guy didn't know how to react, where in this video, she's trying to contain herself.

Kudos to whoever makes her wardrobe! I think her voice and weirdness of the music will clearly turn her into a front-runner for the Kate Bush of this generation.
