Swiss folk metal legends Eluveitie performed their Cape Town\u00a0show at the Assembly last week. The 8 band members looked exactly how you’d imagine an Alpine folk metal band would: all long hair, viking accessories and celtic tattoos,\u00a0and they put on a fantastic show.<\/p>\n

Here are some shots from the evening.<\/p>\n

Organisation-wise I loved the\u00a0nice and early start (9pm) and finish time (10:30pm)\u00a0and that there was\u00a0no supporting act, just straight into\u00a0the main event. From a shooting perspective things were also pretty metal\u00a0– we were briefed on the fly and were allowed in the (super narrow) pit but weren’t allowed on the stage which meant the only way to exit the pit after our time was up was to climb over the barricade and jump out into the crowd…<\/p>\n
