Dave Tedder’s Memorial @ 2640 Space/Ottobar Today
Dave Tedder died suddenly last week.
While I wasn’t especially close to Tedder, I’ve known him for more than half my life at this point. I’m sad to see him go.
I always expected Tedder would be off for good someday, but not like this.
He was a dude you naturally assumed would end up some place like Oakland or RVA, or maybe even some Anarcho-cabin in the woods in the Badlands or Oregon or someplace.
But Tedder had a home in Baltimore.
Punk rock at its best is a true community, almost another family. Tedder was one of those distant cousins I was always glad to see around; always interested to catch up with- see what he was up to next.
There will be a memorial for Dave Tedder today at noon at the 2640 Space.
It’s going to be the sort of come-as-you-are no nonsense affair he would have appreciated. There will also be a reception afterward at the Ottobar from 2 pm until 2 am, with more live music than we can list here.
All of the days proceeds will be donated to Tedder’s family to help defray expenses.
Dave Tedder was my fucking brother and so is Ted dforever
Rest In Peace, brother.
You don’t really want to go to Detroit. It’s ratehr depressing. Even around the so-called “tourist” areas near the casinos.I took some photos and shared them on my blog last year. It’s if you’re curious. Nothing surprising, nothing you can’t find elsewhere.
