Tommy moved to Champaign-Urbana from Louisville, KY in 1997. He briefly studied German at the University of Illinois before realizing he didn't like sauerkraut. He delivers buckets of sheep brains at the Parkland Instruction Materials Center, runs shows at the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center, sits on couches at the Nicodemus Agency, and runs the local promoting group bleebloop.
Late Tuesday night, local band Bellcaster reunited for one last show after falling off the radar for roughly two years. What could bring a band back from the dead? A good friend of theirs, Bobby Northcutt, was in need of some help, so they decided to host a benefit concert complete with tattoo and piercing raffles to raise money for him. How cool is that? Solo acoustic artist Jonathon Childers, one-man band Andy V, and percussionist Jane Boxall assisted in the farewell show, as well. The audience was receptive, and one man in particular was very pleased with the show — he won not only a $75 piercing, but also a $75 tattoo.
