Crowbar's closing has worried some local music fans that venues to hear their favorite local bands are becoming few and far between.

But tonight, SoZo's, 256 E. Beaver Ave., will be offering a forum for the local and national music scene as local piano-rock band Cloverleaf, Altoona-based band Dropout High and the nationally recognized pop-punk band Punchline take the stage for an end-of-the semester concert.

SoZo coordinator William Snyder said SoZo coordinates mostly religious events; however, Snyder said he wants to do more things that focus on the community. Snyder said the members of Cloverleaf approached him to set a show up, and he hopes this kind of event is something that will continue in the future.

"This is new for us; we're trying to figure out how this all works," Snyder said.

Garrett Bogden, the drummer from Cloverleaf, said he is very excited for the show.

"It's really important [that we play shows at Penn State] because most of our fan base is here," he said. "It's gives kids something else to do."

He is also very excited about bringing national act Punchline to State College.

"Since the Crowbar closed, I think that the indie music circuit here has been left untapped," he said. "I think that if we have the opportunity to bring in national bands, we should do it."

Band members from Punchline went to high school with Bogden and the other members of Cloverleaf, and he said they have a good relationship with each other.

"I used to always go to their shows before they got signed," Bogden said.

A student who will be in attendance tonight, Will Dzombak (freshman-division of undergraduate studies), first saw the band in its native city of Pittsburgh and arranged Cloverleaf's first show.

Now, Dzombak and Bogden are working together to bring more bands to play at State College. Dzombak shared Bogden's feelings about Crowbar closing.

"Since the Crowbar's closed, we're trying to keep the scene alive and get some shows here," he said. "We'd like to bring national bands to Penn State, and have local bands open for them."
