Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes we have played live, loved it and loathed it probably in equal measure, depending on the venue, the PA, the audience etc. Best moment: When Stanton grabbed 2 unearthed mics and did a perfect forward somersault landing on his arse with the guitar still strapped to him.
