Florence + The Machine


Recommended Posts

Great pics.

I really started to like their basist, don't know his name...Mark? And the drummer (Chris?) also kicks ass. That girl Isabela is quite weird, but hm, I don't know her. I don't like the guitarist and I don't know why :dozey: The harpist...is just the harpist :thinking:

 

 

You should be listening 'kiss with a fist' :lol:

 

Doesn't work for me...hm it's just Kiss With A Fist is a very joyful song for me. And The Drumming reminds me of anger and sorrow.

Isabella is always very gloom and not very smiley with fans... Chris is the drummer and Jim is on bass ^^ (if they haven't replaced him...) and Tom on harp <3

KWAF is the song I like less on the album but live it kicks ass actually! I love the version she did at the Hammersmith, with a long intro...was soo cool!!

^Looks like someone wasn't wearing a bra with that dress^

Seems to me she has a little corset underneath...:rolleyes:

It's nice that it's not just Florence, and the band which accompanies her, but they're actually mentioned as Florence + The Machine. But I read some where that the first name was meant to be 'Florence Robot Is A Machine' but it was too long. I don't think that would be a good name for the band :thinking: So Florence, Chris and Jim kicks ass, but the third one is sadly not mentioned on articles or on the official website.

I saw that KWAF video, it's really nice but IMO the intro doesn't fit the song.

I liked that she introduced everyone and that she played on the drums it was sweet.

 

I'm watching Blinding right now. This performance is great, I can't describe it with words.

She came with the 'Florence Robot is a machine' when she was at first playing gigs alone and one of her friends suggested it (don't think it's Isabella... :thinking: don't remember...).

F+tM is not technically a 'band' per say, it's the recording name of Florence. 'The machine' part is the nickname for the musicians who provide backing music for her voice....but IMO, the spot is really on her. I've never seen an ITV with the musicians, it's always Flo alone (which is not the case for regular bands, even if the frontman is the one talking in 90% case scenario).... But I just as you, I love the fact that she really includes them in the show and the 'band's name :)

It's from the live DVD from the boxset :) You can find all the gig at Rivoli on YT I think, it's a very good show, pretty 'intimate'. But I prefer her performances from the accoustic sessions at Metropolis studio.

Isn't that what I meant? :P

 

But you're right. Even in the official website. It's about her, her, her then a few sentences about "The Machine". I love Coldplay for that. Some people only see Chtis, but they're really band, not frontman, and the rest.

This acoustic session is brilliant, is it the only song from this session ?

No, there are others

I don't think they still have it in the 'flotique'... :confused: Camille try to buy it there but it was already out of stock so I bought it for her at the London show, they were selling it there. I found mine in my local fnac, which was the most pleasant surprise, but I haven't seen it there since...If you live in Paris, you could check out stores like Gilbert, Cam saw it there once...

Or maybe on site like amazon or play.com... :shrug:

:(

You will never see me buying something at a fnac except concert tickets. Too expansive.

It's too bad that where I live there nothing else than a fnac and an an other shop like fnac. I used to go to a little music shop with a nice seller (and really cute :blush:). There were everything I wanted, but it closed about one year ago now. Really sad.

Well I will just keep an eye everywhere and if I'm lucky I will find it. Or maybe when I'll be in London, next month.

:shocked2: the price is insane!! I've paid mine for about 40 € and the one I bought for Camille at the show was only at 15£....

Amazon is robbing people!

No she didn't :sad:

I would have loved to hear it instead of My boy builds coffin or Kiss with a fist, but oh well it was still a fantastic show!

 

And I can't believe she's just 22 :stunned:

She did blinding at solidays (I didn't remember if I posted the pic where she posed with her drumstick and the veil on her face?) and MBBC but not KWAF.

 

And yeah, she looks older than 22... !!

I'm beginning to dig into many music stuff, and I gotta say Florence has such an amazing voice! And with all the things I've been told, and vids I saw, she sure looks pretty amazing on stage :)

Really, only 22? Her talent's even more impressive then...

(I thought she was born in 1986?)

I think we ALL had the 'OMG, she's only THAT'?!! shock XDDD At first I thought she was around my age (27) but no...

 

@V: you here :rolleyes: If you need some Flo guidance, you know where to find me! Ask Cam, I've totally flotised her XD
