Another live festival video from China. Strawberry Festival in Beijing – Hangin’ With The Living from the Betrayer album (2010). This song has really been a surprise for us in China. Across both tours, it’s been an unexpected crowd favourite. The song hasn’t worked so well for live audiences in the US, Europe or Australia –  so we nearly dropped it altogether. For some reason, we decided to keep it in the set-list for the China tour last year, where it found it’s feet as a must-have crowd-pleaser.

Highlights of ‘Without’ – the final song in the set at Beijing’s Strawberry Festival earlier this month. What’s really cool is the footage after we finish. Check out the bit where Kent gives his drum sticks away.

This show was, as mentioned, our favourite for the China tour. It wasn’t our biggest crowd, but the energy they threw back at us was intense. Definitely the most fun we’d had on stage for the tour.

Live video from Strawberry Festival in Beijing earlier this month – 2nd last song in the set ‘Next To You’ (new song for the next album). Strawberry was my favourite show of the China tour, the crowd kept building and building throughout the set. Max got mobbed when she stepped off stage at the end of the show, the crowd rushed the barriers & security had their work cut out holding them back.

Q Magazine escorted us to their promo tent for a photo-shoot when things had calmed down. The rest of the day we spent signing autographs & taking thousands of pics with festival-goers who’d seen the show.
