Savage Swedes God Mother returned for another unforgettable tour in South Africa in May. Their 2016 show at Club Med was one of the most memorable from that great and short-lived venue and their recent visit to ROAR managed to build on the energy and mania even further. Singer/screamer Sebastian Campbell spent more time out in the crowd than on stage, doing crazy things like using his mic chord as a limbo line and encouraging his (actual) mother-in-law to crowdsurf. It was awesome.

On a more bitter-sweet note, it was the last show I’d personally attend at ROAR as the iconic venue announced its June closure earlier this year. I wrote some thoughts on ROAR for Texx and the City over here – in the meantime, here are some shots from God Mother’s epic show.
