Indie venues like Crowbar face significant threats to their existence, but the local scene is never short on bands ready and willing to play their stages.

In Ybor City this weekend, organizers of DIY Fest II have assembled more than a dozen of the Bay area’s most-seasoned live acts who’ll take over two stages and play more or less every strain of rock from third-wave emo (Hollyglen), and indie-pop (Peace Cult, Mak), to Americana (Have Gun, Will Travel), grunge (Hovercar), electro (Fantastical Tigers), and more subgenre-bending sounds (Discord Theory, Bangarang, Pilot Jonezz).

Tickets to DIY Fest II at Crowbar in Ybor City on Saturday, July 13 are still available and start $20.
