Pipistrella is arguably Borås, Sweden's most proimising punk/power-pop band at the moment. The band sprung out of two old friends who spent the last 10 years almost giving up music. The urge to rock eventually became too strong, however, so Emma Fyman and Johan Olsson started Pipistrella. Together with Tobias and Niclas from The Stomping Academy (who also performed at this event), they play their own blend of punk, rock and pop.
The band debuted in early 2023 with the EP Vikingskull and their second 5-track EP Taking Care of Business came out earlier this year. Both of which are available on Spotify.

Lastkajen ("The Cargo Bay") is a homegrown one-day mini festival set in Borås, Sweden. Everything from the bands, the beers, the food, and probably most of the visitors, are closely tied to the small Swedish town. Apart from the six bands performing, Niclas Larsson, a.k.a. "Shanty Town" was also DJ-ing throughout the evening.
Lastkajen is arranged by Ljudverkstan and Just Enjoy i Borås and had its first run in 2022.

Thanks to a fellow photographer I managed to get a photo pass with access to the photo pit and festival area. I used my full-frame gear and shot the first three shows.
During Brave New Animals' set, a massive skyfall (including not only rain, but also thunder and hail) unfortunately came and I had to scram to avoid getting water damage to my gear.
