I rarely like to slam bands of any style, figuring everyone has their own musical tastes. But after seeing and hearing Florence and The Machine's live concert in NYC on FUSE TV.....I was astounded at how horrible they were. The backing band was very mediocre at best, the material nothing great but the biggest annoyance was the horrid singer....a voice like nails on a blackboard and shit stage presence, prancing around like a beginner on her first week of high school dance gigs.
Just horrid. No wonder rap amd hip hop are selling so well, compared to rock/pop.
I've been to some live shows that may have not been the greatest but THIS was, by far, the worst live show by any band that I have seen on 30 years.I hope that the A&R marketing guy gets handed any award the band wins and not anyone in the actual band.
