Terence Connor, drummer for Brooklyn garage-rock act Total Slacker, died today after a hit-and-run accident on his bike. He was 24 years old. Total Slacker frontman Tucker Rountree writes on his Facebook, "Terence Connor I will always remember you and cherish the times we had. R.I.P."

Over on the Total Slacker page, the band writes:

We're unbelievably heart broken, our drummer Terence Connor was killed in a hit and run accident while riding his bike early this morning.

Sending all our love to his family and friends.

THE SADDEST DAY -- WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, FOREVER...

Total Slacker, who released their debut LP Thrashin' last fall, said on Facebook that they've been working on a second album. Connor joined the band after the departure of former drummer Ross Condon (brother of Beirut's Zach Condon).
