Patrik Mata of Kommunity FK was at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, California on Friday, April 13, 2007 paying tribute to his long lost friend Rozz Williams. Patrik was given tickets/VIP passes by Eva O and Rikk Agnew.

Patrik's record label Invisible Records agreed that Patrik should be a part of the 10-year memory of Rozz and supported Patrik on his appearance in Los Angeles.

Surviving members of Rozz William's Christian Death first full length recording "Only Theatre of Pain" reunited as CHRISTIAN DEATH 1334 and performed the album in its entirety.

It only seems like yesterday that Patrik Mata and Sherry Rubber were in the middle of a Kommunity FK rehearsal based in Hollywood when the phone rang and they were told the tragic news Rozz had left us. Patrik was honored to be a speaker at Rozz's memorial held at the El Rey Theater.
To this day we here at the Kommunity Fk Kontingent all miss Rozz very much and hope he is creatively happy in a better place.

Pictured here is Patrik Mata receiving his copy of Ed Colver's newest publication backstage at the Christian Death 1334 show just after Patrik got off stage reminding the fans why all were gathered.
The new book by Mr. Colver not only was premiered in Hollywood, but was on Madison Avenue in N.Y.C. Within it's pages not only will you find a classik photo of Patrik, but within the discography section you will find both Patrik Mata and Sherry Rubber's seperate former projects listed as well.

Enjoy these IMAGES captured both onstage and backstage at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles.

!! KOMMUNITY FK Is Proud To Help Raven's Family In Their Time Of Loss !!

Back in the pre-Goth days & during the trailblazing beginnings of Deathrock subculture, Patrik Mata's legendary group, KOMMUNITY FK, had the honor & pleasure to perform second billing to England's KILLING JOKE. This historic show occured on August 28th, 1981 at The Whiskey A-Go-Go. The rest is now history for both iconic bands whose sounds are considered as founding leaders & inspirations of both the Deathrock & Gothic movement. Recently, the Killing Joke bassist who replaced the OG bass player called Youth, has passed away. PAUL RAVEN had been a mainstay for the band for over a decade bludgeoning every track & performance with his heavy bass sound. Paul Raven was also well known for playing bass and writing with Ministry. He had even designed his own bass & guitar pedal called " RAVEN ". He was so proud of this accomplishment as if it were a brand new baby. In many ways, it was. He took the time & effort to make sure that the pedal sounds exactly as he wanted it to. To show our respects for him, we here at KOMMUNITY FK KONTINGENT HQ are going to post this link which leads straight to the main website for where everybody can purchase the pedal in order to hopefully assist in the procuring of the necessary funds that will help his immediate Family with his funeral costs & which all of the proceeds will go to them through the pedal company, PRO TONE PEDALS , directly. May you rest in peace, Paul. We will surely miss your presence & musical contributions.

Please visit www.protonepedals.com and get the new pedal monster pedal designed by Paul Raven. Help his family in their time of loss.
