The Phoenix punk community showed up en masse on Saturday afternoon to celebrate the life of Mike “Bam Bam” Sversvold.
Sversvold, who died May 11 at the age of 57, was the drummer for seminal Phoenix punk band Jody Foster’s Army, along with a number of other groups.
JFA performed an acoustic set at the tribute show, and rounding out the bill were Medieval Knievels, Peace Through Power, Fat Gray Cat and The Sleaze. Proceeds from ticket sales and special merch were given to Sversvold’s mother.
Here are a few photos from the show.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
