The Last Dinner Party - Dog Days Are Over (Sound of 2024)

[@TheLostFan2010]

Considering that the lead singer is A) Sick and B) Not Florence Welch, this is a surprisingly good cover.

[@ROCKSTARR338]

She is insanley talented.

[@tibbinova]

Now I want to see them do a song together. :)

[@stevenunn3472]

I struggle to get out of bed when I have a chest infection, and here is Abigail absolutely smashing the cover. What a band.

[@jessicalawson1417]

lets hope she doesnt damage her vocal chords

[@MonticArckeys]

Did she have one?

[@stevenunn3472]

@@MonticArckeys aye, she mentions it on the full programme on the iPlayer. When she was speaking you could tell she wasn’t 100%.

I could def hear the Florence inspo in their album, so I'm pleased to find this she killed it!!

[@clairelyonss]

They were her support act when I went to see Florence in concert! Perfect fit

[@PotatoKing86]

[@karlgw]

I'm probably a lot older than you - and I was pleased to find not only this, but a cover of Army Dreamers by Kate Bush (I was 13 when she first amazed everyone with Wuthering Heights) :-)

[@SteSurfs]

You can hear they're fans of Florence with how faithful this was to the original but still with their owm sound. Solidified as my new faves for this 🤘

[@dandelionveins]

Actually brought me to tears, how much you can hear the love and spirit they threw into this cover!!

[@ggchiu7400]

As a singer, I can def hear that she is sick but gosh did she pull it off, lord have mercy on her voice. I hope she gets well soon!!! She ate this up the whole band did amazing but she needs rest lol I’ve been there gws queen

[@RogaineForEwoks]

They're on their way up and she doesn't want to let them down, but she's gotta look out for more than just right now. Rest those amazing pipes.

[@NellyGandhella]

Why even bring it up? I'm sure she was self conscious about her being ill and you just stating here like it was obvious is pathetic because you only did it to get some attention. Meanwhile she's probably feeling awful now about the fact you mentioned it

[@carlosmarx2380]

@@NellyGandhella nah shes probably alright. its pretty normal, touring is hard and everyone is sick all the time, especially during winter.

[@PopPo-zh9up]

As a singer

[@stanknugget]

Florence Welch she is not.

[@ColinFahrion]

The first band I thought of when I heard The Last Dinner Party was Florence & The Machine, so not terribly surprised they covered this song. Also not surprisingly they did this cover well with a nice personal spin on it too!

[@AmirHussain-eg3su]

im sure florence presented them with an award

[@TheRagzzz]

@@AmirHussain-eg3su She did present them with the BBC Radio sound of 2024 award and they also supported her on tour.

[@timothyw98]

Alot of their songs sound Marina and the diamonds.

[@christianswain4884]

They continue to impress. The growth is pretty apparent. They sound more and more confident live with each push their management makes for them. Very good cover and it's obvious the love the ladies have for Florence and her Machine. They keep checking all the boxes!

[@SteveMicAndTheHoldTights]

The drummer is killing it!

[@NevDunn]

Rachel, the drummer, I noticed from a live performance is excellent. I hope they integrate her into the band 😎🎼🎼🎼

The drummer is absolutely class btw

[@KeithH1973]

Wow! They totally rocked the hell out of that song. Everyone killed it, but lead vocals were amazing, I wouldn't have known she was sick if I hadn't seen everyone else's comments about it.

[@arada6655]

You can see they're having fun and it's communicative. Good job !

[@angusmoffat]

I've heard 2 songs from The Last Dinner Party. I was so crushed when The Bangles disbanded. I feel that this all female band I could learn to love as much as The Bangles. Wonderful stuff!

[@TheMachineMother84]

OMG!!! This is favourite band inception. Like, my favourite new band just covered by favourite artist!!! Thank you so much ladies!

Same for us in Canada! Such energy and talent!

[@mcalder69]

OMG - you guys are fearless! You just covered both of my 2 favourite artists within days of each other... Kate Bush (Army Dreamers) and now Florence! I'm lost for words... Just when I thought I couldn't love you any more you come up with this!

[@leahhibbert306]

Heard this on the radio the other day and cannot get enough of it since!

[@ellaruth9]

This was so beautiful to watch. I'm a huge fan of florence and actually usually don't like to listen to this song because it's so over-played. But watching this, it helped me understand why I love florence so much: she really gives life and soul to the emotion in her songs, and I always imagine if I could REALLY SING, this would be how it felt to sing her songs. It looks so fucking satisfying to have a strong enough voice to really sing florence's songs.

[@mrnett]

Well, see, that's the thing. This band is great, and she did as good a job - literally - as ANYONE could have done. Arguably, the best anyone who's not Florence has ever done. And I enjoyed it. But that's what makes Florence so incredible - no one can do what she does.

[@alanadams7071]

Just watched it on IPLAYER too which gave a but more coverage. Abi is full of cold and I've no idea how she managed to sing 4 songs never mind one as demanding as this.

[@LorennaKogawa]

For a moment I thought you were going to talk bad about Florence and I was ready to talk about the incredible work she does... So unique!!! 

[@angelboogers]

Oh my goodness 🥺🥺😍😍😍😍I clan totally see a Collaboration with Florence 💞💞💞💞 that would soo ugggh💟💟

[@iTeacupPanda]

AGREED. I normally hate 9.9/10 Florence covers but these women have LEGITIMATE admiration and drive and aren't afraid to go for something. The lead is really unafraid to go for vocal choices and commit

[@dgooz]

Yeah Flo is like Stevie Nick's. You can't replicate their voices. You can pay some mean homage but it will never live up to the OG. And I fu**ing lovev the last dinner party btw

[@AgentPainenn]

Brilliant work by all. I love Abigail's fire. Even sick she is owning it so hard.

The perfect live performance doesn’t exi………….❤

[@thebesttheworst2277]

This popped up on my YT notifications yesterday and I usually dismiss most of them but as I like this song and hadn't heard it in years I clicked, listened and been singing the song in my head ever since. Now today I decide to make myself watch a film for the first time in months, as backlog is getting insane, so I sit down with Sky, Netflix, Prime and Disney+ and after much umming and aahing I decide to watch 'GOTG Vol. 3' as I saw the first 2 in the cinema and been meaning to see this since it arrived on Disney+. Can you imagine my surprise in the last 10 mins. 😳😂 Talk about freaked out and coincidence ... Life eh. 🤷‍♂️

[@Hahantthislife]

Ok...THAT thumbnail it captured so exquisitely this electrifying cover

[@joshuaescott97]

Best band to come out of the UK 🇬🇧 in such a long time, feels very 80s/90s and of course with a modern twist, that guitar solo in Nothing Matters reminds me of a certain Brian May

[@mcalder69]

Emily, the lead guitarist, was previously 'Brian May' in a Queen tribute act (among other side projects), so maybe not surprising that the guitar solo reminds you of him.

[@carolinesposato]

A melhor coisa que eu vi hoje. Florence é maravilhoso e elas são... A fusão de tudo que há de bom no mundo ❤ e essa voz... Aff 😍💘

@@alanadams7071 don’t know if I am wrong cos I haven’t heard the full album in advance but they translate way better live .
