Fri 12 February 2016

Half Price, The West Coast Wolves, Monitor and the energetic show-stealers Swatting Bats put on a good old fashioned (read: sweaty) punk show at Mercury last Friday. There was loads of moshing, stage-diving and frantically-paced music – everything you’d expect really.

Here are some shots from the super fun night.

M4A SummerFest 2016

Sat 30 January 2016

Last Saturday I attended the first of Metal4Africa’s 2016 bi-annual festival events, the M4ASummerFest. Since the usual venue (Stellenbosch‘s Klein Libertas) is still under reconstruction, the fest was held at a new venue: a warehouse/langarm dance hall in Brackenfell Industria.

The vibe was great and the show lots of fun, here are some shots of the bands that performed: Megalodon, Wildernessking, The Drift, Subvers, Imperial Destruction, Wargrave, Take Hand, Fuera and Subject to Slaughter.
