Florence + The Machine
 

New favorite band. Anybody heard of them? Just recently discovered them for myself so I thought I'd share. I hope they come to the US soon.

Here is the song they have been playing on the radio here in the states.

Every other song I have heard from them has been really good too. Guess they have been on top of the UK charts for like 30 weeks straight.

Been listening to them for a couple of months now, it's pretty good background music for when I'm working. :thumbsup

they rock. a gfyer was recently trying to give away tickets to their l.a. show a while back. i would of loved to snag them.

Matt and I saw them in San Fran last April. Show was amazing and her voice is fucking INSANE!

I have to find out if they are ever going to come back to Cali. I saw some live performances on youtube and she rocks. I haven't been to many concerts but I would definitely go to theirs.

It sucks seeing the Taylor Swifts and Katy Perrys getting recognition for being mediocre, and talents like Florence Walsh are largely unknown. She killed it on Saturday Night Live, and that stage is notorious for exposing bad singers.

I think she's the best thing since Kate Bush. Seriously.

great comparison! they should do a remake of rubberband girl

It's a great band. I just love them!

I like her voice, I guess she could sing without music and still sound good, that's where you see the real talent. :2 cents:

Yep, she's fucking good. Saw her about a year ago and just missed out again about 6 months ago due to a massive crush of about 30,000 people trying to all get to her stage at once during a festival. Really, really good live. Amazing voice, fantastic song writer. "Dog Days" is too good.

Just astonishing. Listen to the end if you've not heard this before.

Another good one to showcase her voice...



If she had Katy Perry's looks, everyone would know who she is. She's a little tough to look at up close.

Pretty much sums it up for a lot of good singers.

yeah, saw them in Holland last year, they were great!

Look at these two amazingly talented girls. First Aid Kit from Sweden. Not the worst looking, but they're not dolled up and shaking their asses. Just raw beautiful talent.

They have been huge in the UK for some time now, my girlfriend loves them, I don't care for them either way, some good tracks but some shit.

Make that Europe, not just the UK :winkwink:

I absolutely love them. Discovered them almost 2 years ago and still listen to it daily.

No, thanks...

Florence is amazing

very cool band

one of the best songs of 2010

another good band:

http://www.shinytease.com/stuff/ygl/YGL.html a sneaky video a did a while ago of jen doing "You Got The Love"

Apart from "The Dogdays Are Over" I think this is her best song:



And this cover from The Source is also fantastic





I really love her voice because she's able to sing her live performances on key and very well(admittedly a little bit less of lately)

Lol I didn't see the Lettemanvideo before. doh!
