Charlotte Hatherley Joins Bat For Lashes

• 20th Mar 2009

Former Ash guitarist Charlotte Hatherley has announced that she will be playing as part of Bat For Lashes' live band between April and September.

Writing on her website, Hatherley said: “I have been moonlighting with the delectable Natasha Khan of Bat For Lashes. I will be touring with Bat For Lashes until September. … I'm happy as Larry because the music is so ACE and I not only get to play heavily chorused guitar a la The Cure, but get to play throbbingly fuzzed up bass, keyboards and twinkly bells”.

Somewhere in the midst of all that, she will also be preparing for the release of her third solo album, 'Cinnabar City', which is due for release in September after her Bat For Lashes commitments come to an end. She explained: “[The first single from the album] 'White' is due for release over the summer, and the album will be out in September”.
