Me and my friend Bex were 4th in the queue and got on the front row. The stage wasn't very high and was right next to the crowd which I've never seen in real life before. Soon enough everyone was falling or jumping onto the stage but kept getting kicked off by the band. It was quite scary to be right at the front of it but just the most amazing experience and I have the bruises as a bit of a memento ;)

In the last song everyone just got up onto the stage and it was so crammed the band could hardly play. I accidentally stopped John from playing drums at one point cause if I hadn't have held onto something I might have fallen right on top of the drumkit ahaha. Anyway BYOP were on top form as usual. I thought it would be sad but it wasn't. There was a bit of thanking the record label and the fans but it was too chaotic to think about what that gig actually meant.

Afterwards, after many arguments with the security guard we got to meet the whole band and me and my friend were the only ones left in the venue getting pics with them. When I saw Jemina i just said 'omg jemina' and kinda lunged myself at her and hugged her. I still can't believe I've met her, she's like an idol to me :') I bought each of the singles vinyls and got them all to sign their face ;D best gig of my life! They will be sorely missed.
Here's the pics of me and Bex with the band!
Us (I'm on the right) with Jemina and Jonas; Jonas kinda jumped into the picture unexpectedly so that's why I look so weird ahah.
Us with Nathan and Jemina. I almost forgot to get my vinyls back from Nathan!
Us with John. Bless him haha, he was the only one I could bring myself to talk to properly.
Us with John and the singer from the Hot Melts who were the support; have a listen, they are much better live than on the recordings tbh.
Us with Jonas. Aaaaa :) I've got to say I probably enjoyed having that picture taken the most.
And here's the one video I managed to get;
Hmmm anything else..
Oh yeah. You Me At Six. I'm obsessed with them at the moment.
I'm seeing them on their UK tour in October, they have an album out October 6th which I just can't wait for AND they have a new video for the song 'Jealous Minds Think Alike' which you can play below. It's all very exciting :)
That's it, see you soooooon x
