Florence + The Machine
- Thread starter miaedu
- Start date
Earlier this year, U2 had to postpone their North American stadium tour after Bono suffered a back injury. Interpol, who'd been booked to open some of the shows, had to scrap an entire tour that they'd built around those dates.
But now the U2 shows are back on for next year, and the band just announced the opening acts on their website. Interpol will open some of the shows, and so will the increasingly huge art-poppers Florence and the Machine.

^ A few months? This thead has been around for almost a year now. 
Forgot to mention - saw her here a couple of months ago. The Aussie audiences love her - and she loves them. She was on top form vocally, getting off on the crowd reaction - obviously enjoying herself immensely. She was having a ball - and so were we!
It was a sensational live show - one of the best I've seen for a long time.

Where in the world is this happening?

This concert honors this year's Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chinese activist and political prisoner Liu Xiaobo.

Florence Welch: Letter from LA
A Short Film Exploring Life on the Road With Florence and the Machine's English Songbird
Tabitha Denholm's "Florence: Letter from LA" is a sunny meditation on pop stardom, premiering exclusively on NOWNESS today. It captures Welch during her fall 2010 American tour for her debut album Lungs (which earned her a Best New Artist Grammy nomination). We see the flame-haired British songstress swimming in pools, driving on highways and marveling at the surreal nature of fame and the places it has brought her. "I wanted to record this unique time in Florence's career because I knew it would be a one-off," explains Denholm, who co-directed several of Welch’s early music videos with Tom Beard, notably for the single “Rabbit Heart.” This new short film is one in a three-part series collectively titled Letters From America, which also trails Welch to New Orleans and New York. "Florence has this energetic whirlwind side, and then this incredibly quiet introspective side," Denholm reveals. Welch says she decompressed from touring by taking in the country on foot: “I saw so much beautiful American stuff—the bewitching buildings of New Orleans, a crazy Halloween in Boston. If I wasn't playing a gig or flying somewhere, I was just walking; constantly lost, constantly overwhelmed by the beauty of what I was seeing." She also chilled out to a carefully compiled playlist—check out the soundtrack below:
lorence’s “Breaking America” Playlist:
1. Drake – “Fancy”
This is the song Drake performed at the VMA awards in LA. No one in the history of music has ever done rapping and singing together as well as him. We went for a little after-the-afterparty in his studio on VMA night and it was a trip.
2. Lloyd Banks – “Beamer, Benz or Bentley”
We went to see Jay-Z play this enormous gig at the Yankees Stadium in The Bronx. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen: 60,000 people celebrating hip-hop music in the heart of the borough where it was born. Eminem supported, and Lloyd Banks came out and performed “Beamer, Benz or Bentley,” and it was actually kind of moving.
3. Kanye West – “Runaway”
Kanye West makes some of the most interesting music in the universe right now. We went to a screening in New York for the crazy-beautiful film Kanye made to accompany the song. Kanye, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Common, Diddy and Lizzie from Gang Gang Dance were all there—it was the coolest.
4. Chris Brown – “Deuces”
“Deuces” is a great paean to getting rid of girls after you've had sex with them, and although its central sentiment is a bit reprehensible, it remains a total masterpiece.
5. Arcade Fire – “Month of May”
This is one of my favorite tracks from Arcade Fire's amazing last record. It's all self-referential about "making a record in the month of May," which seems kind of cool to me.
6. Yeasayer – “Ambling Alp”
This is such an earnest, heartfelt kind of song, with some wonderful lyrics about sticking up for yourself and all that. Plus, it's great to jump around to in the dressing room before gigs.
7. Tom Waits – “Hoist That Rag”
My favorite Tom Waits song by miles. I think he once recorded the sound of himself punching a cow's carcass and used it on a record, and I've always been impressed by that kind of thing. I aspire to make music out of meat and flesh and death.
8. Violet – “Hole”
Violet is Pixie Geldof's new band. My guitarist Rob is in it, and they've been recording in LA with über-producer Dave Sitek. This song rules!
9. Hanni el Khatib – “Fuck it, You Win”
Hanni was our support act for this American tour and a total godsend. He's one of the guys that run the super-cool label HUF in San Francisco, and the music he makes is like something from some bygone era of moody, slickback American youth. All the boys in my band are a little bit in love with this guy. He's that cool.
10. Alicia Keys – “Unthinkable”
This is basically one of the best songs of the last decade. Drake wrote it for Alicia and it is practically perfect in every single way. My boyfriend wants this played at our wedding or at his funeral—whichever comes first.

Very much enjoy the band, but the song in the intro post is a terrible remake. In fact, it's the only song that I was disappointed with on the album. The rest is brilliant. She should never have released it.
Florence Welch Performs 'Fireworks' with Drake in London
At his London gig Saturday night (Jan. 8), Drake presented fans with a special surprise: Florence and the Machine front woman Florence Welch.
The "Dog Days Are Over" singer met up with the "Over" rapper on stage at the Hammersmith Apollo to perform "Fireworks," Drake's "Thank Me Later" duet with Alicia Keys.
Welch, clad in a flowing white dress, crooned the sultry track to Drake, who stood just inches away. The performance is the latest addition to reports that these Best New Artist Grammy nominees are collaborating on a new song together, which would appear on Welch's upcoming album.

Re: Florence
It's refreshing to see music with some substance and edge getting a little bit of mainstream acceptance again and she's one of such artists. However when I first saw her I thought she was in her mid 30's at least, then I read that she was an alcoholic at 14....that will do it.
