.
The UK's Florence and the Machine is making quite the impression here in the states. Try being nominated for 4 MTV Video Music Awards for her breakout video "Dog Days Are Over". But that's not all, read on.

She's nabbed the coveted slot as one of six artists up for "Video of the Year" as well as "Best Rock Video" "Best Cinematography" and "Best Art Direction." See why here

In addition to getting recognition for her video, her song "Dog Days Are Over" has been a fixture on in the film and TV world for the past couple of months, you may have heard it during the trailer for Julia Roberts's Eat Pray Love movie and USA's Covert Affairs commercials. Check out the trailer here She also contributed an original track "Heavy in Your Arms" to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Florence really shines with her live shows, which have become the stuff of legend since touring the world nearly constantly beginning last summer. Florence was the name on everyone's lips after an epic set at this year's Coachella and lucky for us, she'll be back this Fall for another round of dates in North America.

October 30 – New Orleans, LA – Voodoo Music Festival
October 31 – Boston, MA – House of Blues
November 1 – New York, NY – Terminal 5
November 2 – New York, NY – Terminal 5
November 3 – Toronto, ON – Sound Academy
November 5 – Oakland, CA – Fox Theater
November 6 – Los Angeles, CA – Wiltern (SOLD OUT)
November 7 – Los Angeles, CA – Wiltern

Florence's acclaimed debut album Lungs, released in October 2010 on Universal Republic, has been hailed as a breakthrough effort around the world, reaching #1 on the UK charts an impressive seven months after release date and remaining in the Top 40 ever since and has gone on to sell over 1.2 million copies in the UK alone. The tenacious artist took home a Brit Awards Critic's Choice trophy last year, pegged as 'one of the most exciting new artists to debut in the British music scenes in years.'
