Some important Supernova memories that I totally spaced on in this conversation. Sets: The Trojanites friggin RULED. So much talent and great song curation. Jackie Mendez was a force of nature. Huge energy from start to end from one of the most talented

Got the news this morning. Absolutely fucking tragic. Tim built something beautiful that changed countless lives, brought joy to thousands, and valorized the legacy of major artists overlooked by big media. A staggering loss for the ska music community. It was an honor to know and work with him. 💔

Completely beside myself--this sucks so fucking bad.
FB post from Supernova International Ska Festival:
Dear friends,
We are heartbroken to share the news of the sudden passing of Tim, the founder of Supernova.
What Tim created was so much more than a music festival. It was a place where people came together—where musicians found a stage, friends found each other, and strangers became part of the same community. It was a celebration of music, connection, and the incredible people who make this scene so special.
For those of us who have been part of Supernova, there are countless memories that will always be connected to Tim—the music, the laughter, the late nights, the unexpected friendships, and those moments when you looked around and realized you were part of something truly special.
That is Tim’s legacy.
We will share more info soon, about ways to support Supernova Alliance and Tim's Legacy.
Love,
April, Paige, Brody, Puzzles and the entire Supernova family.

I feel like this is gonna make it around the internet w/out attribution so, like, if you steal it, just make sure you say it came from me. And tell me. None of the pro photogs were up there for this but one came running, talking into a radio saying, "I have eyes on the drone."

This was probably my favorite song of Supernova. Maaaybe it was the mushrooms but the way they arranged it live and the way Sean hit the vocals made it so impactful and moody. I can't wait to watch this set on the replay. a100sband.bandcamp.com/track/wires
