They told us to go gracefully into the night… so we decided to bring a stack of amps and some heavy distortion instead. LIVE FAST DIE OLD wasn’t just a gig; it was a high-octane takeover of the Rose Cottage Festival, proving once and for all that creativity doesn’t slow down, it just gets louder.

From the “Neanderthal” metal riffs of Barbarian to the grog-rock chaos of The Vee Bees, we scraped the best talent off the stage floor and threw it at a packed house. We boogied with the Pilots of Baalbek, went urban-cowboy with The Fuelers, and caught a fever with the psycho-blues-a-billy legends White Knuckle Fever. With Matriarch bringing the punk-grunge fire and Dirtbag proving one man is all you need for a garage-rock revolution, the dance floor never stood a chance.

Check out the highlights from an epic Saturday afternoon where the riffs were big, the personalities were bigger, and the “old buggers” showed the kids how to truly chuck a party.
