Florence and the Machine : Flakes (Mystery Jets cover)

Florence and The Machine plays a cover of Mystery Jets' Flakes live in Kensington Gardens, 21 June 2008.

The event also included Late of the Pier, also performing in Kensington Gardens and British Sea Power performing in the Natural History Museum.

This performance was one of a series of live events taking place in and around the museums of South Kensington as part of the Exhibition Road Music Day 2008.

Florence's studio version of Flakes can be found on the B-side of the 7" of Mystery Jet's Half In Love With Elizabeth, released in August 2008 (in the UK) and is also available on iTunes.

Florence and the Machine's new single, 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)' was released on 22 June 2009, and will be followed by the debut album, Lungs, on 6 July (US physical release 13 October).

UK TV viewers can catch Florence performing on the Friday Night with Jonathan Ross show on BBC1 this Friday (27 June) from 10.35pm.

Is that Isabella Summers behind the piano?

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

@mycatsnameishoudini It is indeed!

She's wearing the same dress she wore at the park when she sang "my boy builds coffins" :)

@Izlandzadi14 Well spotted! Same dress. Same park. Same day!

[GuitarAndMeMusic]

bet those people who just walked past flo + the machine on stage that day, are pretty gutted they didnt stop to listen, look at flo now (:

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

@GuitarAndMeMusic Yeah, I was thinking the same thing myself the other day. And I bet the people that get up and walk off during the song now say to their friends, "Oh, I saw Florence ages ago...she was amazing!".

If I had to justify anyone hating on Florence, I'd just have to say they don't understand her. Her music, performance, lyrics, and everything else great about her will live on and hold a special place in anyone's heart who appreciates her phenomenal talent.

The Mystery Jets are the best band ever. But, Florence definitely can rock out anything!

[rafiinhaperpetua]

Florence too !

@GuitarAndMeMusic why? if they didn't like the act then why would they necessarily like the act now? good marketing? more sales? i reckon those people still don't give a shit aboiut florence and the machine, and fair enough!

@Jake0Hussey Ha! Wrong. this won't go away until the earth does.

[vampireturtle]

even if I didn't know her, with a voice like that, I'd stop in awe and listen.

[laurabeanne]

the people who are "running" or "moving away" from the stage are doing so because it is starting to storm! lol
