regarding my tagging system:

for the band, "showcase" refers to any live performance that is not a traditional gig (usually tv show appearances). dj showcases are any events that aren't a tour gig or festival (usually afterparties / brand events).

"one-off" (band only) refers to gigs that aren't part of a specific tour, but also aren't a showcase. for example, their show at the O2 Academy in London in 2021.

"loud kids on tour" is an era spanning most of 2022, "loud kids tour" is the name of the tour spanning from september 2022 - may 2023.

the "eras" and their timelines are decided by me - they're completely arbitrary but help to break up the archive. some of the eras overlap as I will include promotional performances of singles in the era corresponding with their album.

the dates on every post are based on when the event took place to the best of my knowledge. this is harder to figure out for things like music videos, so if I'm unsure I'll leave it as the date of release.

regarding sources:

any post that does not contain a credit is from an official source such as a news outlet or the band's social media (usually smaller news sources will still be credited).

I obtain permission for all of the fan videos I use unless it's a video from a colleague or other celebrity (these are still credited).

regarding me:

I love the whole band and all of their solo activities, but my gifs are primarily of victoria because I am a lesbian and I don't want to post about men often, if at all.

the watermark says "softsapphicvibes" because that was my original url when I started giffing. it is now the url of my other archive blog.

it's all for me! but I thought maybe some of the remaining fans on tumblr might like to see these too. this blog and my gifs just scratch an autism itch for me since the band has been an immense special interest since 2023.
