Alex Pennie was often noted by critics for being the bands energetic showman. On the NME 2007 tour Alex Pennie's stage antics lead to a fans classes getting broken, followed by wrestling a member of the audience who started smoking on stage on the Irish leg of the tour. Pennie whilst playing at New York's' Bowery Ballroom in July broke his ankle half way through the set, after one of his jumps went wrong - and sat out several songs until "Gold Digger" when he rejoined his band mates for the remainder of the set.
On several occasions the bands cover of Kanye West's "Gold Digger" would involve other musicians and guests, with primary vocalist and bassist Rob playing flute, Jamie Allen; one of the bands technicians would take over bass guitar, whilst Alex Pennie and James Frost split vocals. At Reading and Leeds festivals in 2006 Goldie Lookin Chain joined the band onstage for the track, whilst Viva Machine joined the band onstage wrapped in bandages in ULU, London in July 2006, and on Warped Tour 2007 Newton Faulkner sung and played guitar on the track. On the closing show of the 2007 NME Indie Rock Tour the bands tour manager Mike Doyle sung vocals on the bands cover of Talking Heads song "Life During Wartime".
Throughout the tour the band requested as part of their rider that venues put together a David Hasselhoff
shrine, by October 2006 the band revealed this had been fulfilled by upwards of 20 venues.

- ITV

's Carling Academy, members of the band decided to stay up all night drinking, until the 6.00am start at GMTV. The band went on live at around 9.00am, miming their single "Monster" as GMTV were unwilling for the band to perform live. The performance went on to involve guitarist Frost smashing his rented guitar repeatedly onto the floor, before jumping into the drum kit, whilst Pennie walked around with his Alesis Micron keyboard, taking off his trousers and eventually ending up on the floor with Frost, whilst Rob and Iwan continued to mime along to the backing track. During the performance a ITV cameraman received an injury when Frost was destroying his equipment, the cameraman reportedly threatened to sue the band, but later decided not to - saying he was simply pissed off at the time.

Design and set-up
From 2006 onwards - when the band were headlining more and more performances, they began using various backdrops - ranging from simple sheet banners, to the more extravagant video screens. The artwork used was all based around designs made by Dean 'D*Face' Stockton for the album Not Accepted Anywhere, and the singles "Raoul", "Recover" and "Monster", many of these were then animated for performances - such as their 2006 London Forum performance where they used three giant screens, incorporating animations with a live feed of the band performing. In 2007 Rock Drops recreated D*Face's Raoul 'Globe' artwork from the re-release of the single - and used throughout tour and festival appearances by the band as a stage banner.Alex Pennie was often noted by critics for being the bands energetic showman. On the NME 2007 tour Alex Pennie's stage antics lead to a fans classes getting broken, followed by wrestling a member of the audience who started smoking on stage on the Irish leg of the tour. Pennie whilst playing at New York's' Bowery Ballroom in July broke his ankle half way through the set, after one of his jumps went wrong - and sat out several songs until "Gold Digger" when he rejoined his band mates for the remainder of the set.
