A dynamic, wide-angle live concert photograph taken from the stage behind the band Rohna, looking out into a packed, enthusiastic audience at Crowbar. In the center foreground, a band member with long brown hair, wearing an open gray short-sleeve shirt over a white t-shirt, is playing a black electric guitar or bass. Behind them, another member wearing a green t-shirt has both arms raised high toward the crowd. To the far left, a drummer is partially visible playing a drum kit in front of a massive, brightly lit LED screen displaying a vibrant, colorful psychedelic pattern. In the bottom right foreground, a keyboard rests on a stand. The dense crowd is pressed against the stage, cheering, smiling, and raising their hands under dim overhead venue lighting.

The back-to-back, 10th and 11th Indie Night concerts at Crowbar were sold-out well before doors opened last weekend, and for good reason.

Over the last five years, Rohna—the rock band-promoters behind the wildly successful series—have built a community around the idea of discovering new music while standing shoulder-to-shoulder with other fans. The quintet played one last Crowbar set on Saturday night, even bringing in a giant video screen to light the place up further. The crowd last Saturday sure looked like they were having a blast.

Now, Indie Night will look for a new home as it seeks to re-create the vibe in the wake of Crowbar’s imminent closure this summer.
