Victims of TISM Support Group

The Victims of TISM Support Group (formerly known as The Annual TISM fan BBQ) is an unofficial Facebook group for "serious TISM victims", originally founded by Peter Aylward in December 2008 as a means of arranging an annual informal public gathering of TISM fans. 
The annual TISM fan barbeque has continued in years since, usually held at the start of December. Aylward continued to act as the administrator of the group until his death in 2023, at which time the administration was handed to Luke Devlin. The Victims of TISM Support Group Facebook group shares its name with a Discord server, founded in 2022, which has remained active alongside the Facebook group.
The Facebook group has remained regularly active throughout its existence, and has sometimes been partly credited for the 2022 reunion of TISM following an almost twenty year hiatus. Reflecting the wide age range of audiences at modern TISM live shows, the group's membership (approximately 4,300 Facebook users, as of October 2024) consists both of long-time, old-school TISM fans, and younger, more recent converts to the TISM message.
In addition to the annual "barbeque" (most recently held on 3rd December 2023 at Young & Jackson on Swanston St., Melbourne), the group has held other informal gatherings in recent years, often getting together before a TISM show for pre-drinks in a nearby pub.
In February 2024, Devlin premiered a new group logo; later in the year this logo was printed (first by the Support Group themselves, then as official DRW Entertainment merchandise) on T-shirts, bearing a lyric from the song "Old Skool TISM", in advance of TISM's Death to Art Tour.
