Come shake off some grief as Tommy’s friends, fans, family and loved ones come together to celebrate the life of our dear friend at beautiful Akbar in Silverlake. If you know you’d like to speak, please let us know although I’m sure we’ll be able to accommodate everyone. Also if you have any pictures you’d like to share or recommendations for music, please send them to matthewdmclaughlin@gmail.c
There should still be an east coast memorial in the coming months so stay tuned for information about that. Thanks and see you at Akbar!
Follow Tommy!
I had the good fortune of interviewing Tommy on five different occasions for my Icon Fetch podcast. I just put a tribute together for him. I took the best footage and spliced it in with new remembrances from Peter Buck of R.E.M., Guy Picciotto of Fugazi and more. It’s great to hear Tommy’s voice again. Here’s the link to listen:

Great to see this happening. I’m sure the East Coast one will be in DC so I probably won’t be there. But it makes me feel good to know that it is taking place.
I’m going to try to either livestream it all or at least get all the important parts on video to share!
I’m so pleased to read a celebration tribute to Tommy is taking place in Silverlake LA tomorrow. I wish I could be there to honour his recent tragic passing and forever musical greatness. I sincerely wish all those family members, friends and fans in attendance a beautiful, peaceful and heartfelt reflective evening. Kindest thoughts to you all – Darryl Mather
