I started the weekend on a super chilled note at an intimate seated show at the Blah Blah Bar featuring Paige Mac and the Wintyr.

Industrial metal legends Fear Factory performed a great show at the Assembly, in spite of the fact that guitarist Dino Cazares leg cast meant he had to sit for the whole performance. The band were supported by Ill System and the highly entertaining Boargazm (Who I was seeing for the first time).
Here are some shots from the night.
Club Med is fast becoming my favourite Cape Town venue to shoot – it’s just perfect for punk and hardcore gigs and I always have a great time there. It’s also fast becoming the venue of choice for visiting internationals in the aforementioned genres. Friday the 10th’s show was a perfect example, as American hardcore trio Magrudergrind brought some real intensity to the local crowd, with support from Peasant, Wildernessking and Overhex (who made their debut that night).
The Assembly was more packed last Saturday than I’ve seen it ages – people showed up in their droves to watch the Springbok Nude Girls, who played along with Bam Bam Brown and Retro Dizzy.
The Time Flies celebrated their album launch with a massive dress up party at the Blah Blah Bar. It was chaotic and cramped and a whole lot of fun; I really enjoyed the music and will definitely look out for the band in the future.
Here are some shots from the colourful night.
