There's a reason why South London musicians Florence Welch and Isabella "The Machine" Summers, a.k.a. Florence and the Machine, have filled stadiums, amphitheaters, and concert halls worldwide to max capacity. Ask any fan and they'll tell you that their lush, genre-defying indie art rock sounds even better live than on their multi award-winning studio albums. Indeed, their reputation for putting on phenomenal shows has fans eagerly anticipating tour dates and pouncing on tickets as soon as they're available. Why such devotion? Florence's energetic, fiery stage presence matches her signature crimson tresses, adding that much more drama to such orchestral gems as "Cosmic Love," "Dog Days Are Over," "No Light, No Light," "Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up)"--just to name a few. What's more, their artful, literary lyrics, soaring vocals, and theatrical concerts have caused critics to draw comparisons to Kate Bush and Siouxsie and the Banshees. However, despite their old school appeal, their style is fresh enough to attract fans of Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Beyoncé (who also counts herself as a hug Florence fan).

Let's talk about magic. Because music, at its best, is a kind of magic that lifts you up and takes you somewhere else. "I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you're being sucked down into the ocean and you can't breathe," says Florence Welch. "It's something overwhelming and all-encompassing that fills you up, and you're either going to explode with it, or you're just going to disappear."
English indie pop band Florence + The Machine gained massive fame after the released of their debut album Lungs which held its number-two position on the UK Albums Chart for five weeks later reaching the top position and staying on the chart for 28 consecutive weeks.
Her soaring, epic vocals, quirky melodies and self-contained musical world have already won her the 2009 Critics Choice Award at the Brits.
