Crowbar Sydney was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Crowbar is an independent, family owned live music venue. 

Pre-covid, Crowbar hosted around 400 bands per year. Given crowd restrictions, lockdowns, reschedules, travel bans and new legal hoops to jump through, owning and operating a live music venue has become increasingly difficult as the pandemic wears on and government assistance dries up.
Four bands, Dune Rats, Skegss, Hockey Dad and Ruby Fields put on a benefit show to raise money for the venue on the 29th of May, 2021.

The Covid-19 pandemic has also been incredibly difficult for touring musicians and crew. As such I will be donating 50% of all profits made form this zine to Support Act.

Support Act is an amazing charity. Support Act is Australia’s only charity delivering crisis relief services to artists, crew and music workers as a result of ill health, injury, a mental health problem, or some other crisis that impacts on their ability to work in music. Learn more about Support Act here.

The Saving Crowbar zine is a 26 page, 8.25''x5.25'' in size, black and white, perfect bound digest. It is my visual recollection of the event.

Pre-order will close on the 25th of June and I expect to be shipping all zines in the second week of July.
