Bat for Lashes Talk "Insane" Set, Crazier Weather Backstage at Lolla

August 10, 2009 10:48 AM ET

Bat for Lashes make broody, beautiful, atmospheric rock that has a flair for the dramatic, but the sounds coming from Natasha Khan and Co.'s instruments were nearly overshadowed by a nutty weather system that practically blew the band offstage in Chicago yesterday. "The set was insane," Khan tells Rolling Stone backstage at Lollapalooza, describing the stage as "a hundred million degrees." Watch some of Bat for Lashes' set and get the full interview, above.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
