and increased the publics knowledge on the new band. The band's music is known for its dramatic
and eccentric production.
• The name of Florence and the Machine started off as a private joke that got out of hand. ‘ I made
music with my friend, who we called Isabella Machine to which I was Florence Robot. When I was
about an hour away from my first gig, I still didn't have a name, so I thought 'Okay, I'll be Florence
Robot/Isa Machine', before realising that name was so long it'd drive me mad."
• Florence and the Machine started off by playing a handful of gigs in and around London. In May
2008, they supported MGMT on tour in Europe. This led to them playing music festivals in 2008,
including Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds. Florence and the Machine were also part of the
Shockwaves NME Awards Tour 2009 in January and February.
