Name Origin:
Their name is attributed to Florence Welch's teenage collaboration with Isabella "Machine" Summers.
Welch and Summers performed together for a time under the name Florence Robot/Isa Machine.
According to Florence, "The name 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 realizing that name was so long it'd drive me mad."
