We (
forensicirulan, my boyfriend and I) went to Vienna to see Florence and the Machine on Sunday. It was excellent and I heartily urge you all to see them if you can.
It was fucking freezing outside while we were waiting, which was bad. But being in the first row was good. Apart from the fact that sonically we found ourselves in line with the speakers, so we didn't really hear much of what they were projecting (the main fail-aspect of so many venues). I suspect that most of what we heard of Florence's voice was the sheer, un-amplified sound that came to us directly because she was so close. Like, really close. Which was lovely. And she is lovely and her band is lovely. But I need to go now, so
photos and videos.
My camera is ded. My boyfriend has a new one, but it's... er... not to put too fine a point on it, shite. Cheap as well, so fair enough.
um yeah i tried to take a photo of Tom Monger the harpist.
