Manchester Highlights
Dan (guitar): "Indian food in Curry Mile."
Maddox (guitar): "Insane crowd/kids moshing and being passed up on stage. Having security guards planted across the stage to deflect the kids being thrown up."
Greg (bass): "The Chicago of the UK in my opinion. All my favorite bands came from this city! Showing Garret around Manchester and sight seeing."
Mat (vocals): "Rescuing a girl from a security guard and singing to her."

Manchester Lowlights
Dan (guitar): "The smell on the bus the morning after indian food in Curry Mile."
Maddox (guitar): "The resulting gear and technical issues caused by security guards stepping all over our gear in the heat of battle."
Greg (bass): "Not being able to DJ an after-party in my favourite city."
Mat (vocals): "Election day… having no clue what anyone was talking about…giving up on trying to keep my dirty clothes separate from the clean ones."

London Highlights
Dan (guitar): "Visiting the Gibson Guitars showroom and playing a priceless U400."
Maddox (guitar): "Sightseeing."
Greg (bass): "Walking around Camden for the first time ever. DJing my friend Chloe's party after our show at Bungalow 8. Raging late night at Face Down with the My Passion guys."
Mat (vocals): "Covering 'Just Like Heaven'… intense crowd… getting pulled into the pit, and being given a pocket watch somehow."

London Lowlights
Dan (guitar): "Noise problems on stage."
Maddox (guitar): "Not having enough wind to fly kites in Hyde Park like I'd planned."
Greg (bass): "The hangover the next day and the venue kicking kids out before they can buy merch."
Mat (vocals): "Being nearly destroyed by the crowd, being 'kiss-raped' by a guy with a mustache…all the rich dorks at Bungalow 8…being charged 20p for every text I send on my phone."

Birmingham Highlights
Dan (guitar): "Impromptu photo shoot with Disorder boutique designers: a new leather jacket."
Maddox (guitar): "Playing the hometown of Led Zep, Sabbath, Duran Duran, ELO, Judas Priest, just to name a few. I also enjoyed seeing the absolute fiasco of a botched 'Black Eyed Peas afterparty', which included three semi's full of production, two tour buses, and many rented Bentley's, being attended by nearly NO ONE, due to a ridiculously high ticket price (you can't win 'em all Fergie)."
Greg (bass): "Selling out the Academy 2 and having a crazy show."
Mat (vocals): "Swing-dancing to Disturbed with cool kids at a weird emo club at 2.00am."

Birmingham Lowlights
Dan (guitar): "Not enough time to hit Wagamama before closing time."
Maddox (guitar): "Watching two very burly bear-like men, passionately making out for half hour nonstop to a lovely romantic soundtrack by Children of Bodom after the show."
Greg (bass): "Being hung over still from London and it was raining all day."
Mat (vocals): "my pants always falling down. Fans broke my suspenders."

Bristol Highlights
Dan (guitar): "Possibly the most spontaneous, out of the ordinary, end of tour shows ever."
Maddox (guitar): "End-of-tour hijinks, starting with kidnapping Simon from My Passion mid song and holding him for ransom, then returning him covered head to toe in toilet paper."
Greg (bass): "Playing 'Don't Stop Believing' with the My Passion guys as our encore."
Mat (vocals): "Having the crowd all open their mouths and throwing thousands of Skittles in the air…saying idiotic things like 'make it rain' and 'taste the fucking rainbow motherfuckers'."

Bristol Lowlights
Dan (guitar): "Last show of the tour - we were just getting warmed up!"
Maddox (guitar): "The hangover to end all hangovers."
Greg (bass): "Last show of tour and we don't wanna go home!"
Mat (vocals): "Smelling like an ape… realizing that we were SO happy but we still had to leave the next morning."
