Watch - Flo's Wiltern Theater Concert On NPR

Last November Flo produced a stunning performance at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles and the great news is you can now watch the concert in full online.

NPR are streaming the set right now, so head to their website and see for yourself why everyone was raving about one of the gigs of the year.

The video is available on NPR until June 28.

Florence Welch is a remarkable force on stage. The statuesque English singer and leader of Florence and the Machine pirouettes on stage, often in an elegant evening gown, beats on drums and possesses one of the most striking voices in rock. Her music is a heavily orchestrated and dramatic mix of punk, pop and soulful crooning — a heady sound that's often dark and foreboding, but also sweet and light.

Florence and the Machine first appeared on the U.K. music scene with the explosive hit single "Kiss With a Fist," from the group's 2009 debut Lungs. The group is working on a follow-up due out early next year.

This stunning concert, recorded live from the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles last November, includes the first filmed performance of the band's new song, "Strangeness." Watch the entire show on NPR Music until Tuesday, June 28 when it will be released for digital sale on iTunes.

COVER STORY: FLORENCE WELCH

Florence Welch is one of the most enigmatic women in music. She has traveled the world, sung at the Oscars... and sleeps on a mattress on the floor of her mom's house. We're obsessed, and judging by your flood of "please, let Florence be on the cover!" emails, you are too. Below, a sample of new info to feed your Florence fix.

On Her Emotional Connection to Music:
It's funny because I'm not actually very good at saying how I feel in person. I think songwriting is a way for me to deal with my own emotional failings in life. When I'm making a song, it's almost as if I can express how I feel. It's almost as if, to get a message across to one person, you have to sing it to a couple of thousand.

On her first European tour, with MGMT:
We were desperate to do it, but obviously had no money. But my dad said he'd take us around in his camper van... so [the band] and my dad chugged around Europe for a month. We'd get to these tiny European towns and just look for the biggest thing there, which was always MGMT's tour bus. That's how we found the venue. They must have thought we were insane, turning up with pots and pans rattling, hanging out the window like "Hellooo."

On childhood aspirations:
I wanted to be a witch when i was a kid. I was obsessed with witchcraft. At school, me and my friends had these spell books: I always wanted a more magical reality. I had a shrine at home and I did a spell to try and make the boy in the other class fall in love with me."
