MONSTERS OF ROCKY

Legendary metal duo F.O.G. (Fuck Off God) weren’t set to play any real festivals, so we put on our own event in their honour. The first Monsters of Rocky festival—held at our friend Benson’s house in Victoria Park, east London, on a Saturday afternoon for a few hours before the neighbours’ baby went to bed—was a great success. The first thing you need when putting on your debut festival is a name (preferably one that skirts the fringes of plagiarism) and a flyer. In retrospect, even given the grimness of F.O.G.’s general vibe, this flyer may have been a little too depressing. Still, people came. That’s F.O.G.’s Rocky playing the guitar on the next page. It was his festival. He likes black-metal and Evian.
