Firelight Troglodyte
Bootleg tees for the masses
Based in United States / E.U.
I started making bootleg tees for the EU ‘25 Residency shows after being deeply inspired by the DIY creators I met on tour in 2024. Seeing the creativity and community around bootlegging lit a fire in me, and I wanted to contribute something of my own to this amazing community. What began as a spark quickly turned into a full-on creative outlet. Since then, I’ve designed tees for the EU '25 Residency run, Field of Vision, and the EU '25 Rave/Orchestra shows, all with the goal of spreading the love and helping grow the bootleg scene across Europe!
My journey with King Gizz started back in Seattle in 2019, and that show really stuck with me, but it wasn’t until Amsterdam 2023 that everything really clicked. After that, I was hooked. The Remlinger Farms run in 2023 pushed me over the edge into full obsession, and from there I started seeing them as often as I could.
What’s funny is I’ve now seen them more times in Europe than in the U.S., despite being based stateside. The travel, the crowds, the energy, it all feels electric. I’ve gone from 1 show in 2019, to 16 shows across 2023–2024, to a full 29 shows in 2025 alone.
