Crash Rehearsal Studios press statement.
Great news for the city's music scene.
For several years, we have been looking for suitable custodians to continue our legacy.
As landlords, we have been in a unique position to determine the optimum time to retire.
In addition, we have had the luxury in deciding who best to hand the baton on to.
The new owners and investors, Mantra, will be keeping the music history and the soul of Crash continuing
on into the future.
We are aware that Crash has been a big part for many musicians lives for over 30 years and now the
building will be preserved as an iconic music landmark.
The alley, as well as the building, will pay tribute to the Liverpool music scene, and will attract visitors from all
around the world.
The improvements will include a revamped Davies Street.
It will have multi coloured lighting, creating a fret board road surface, featuring past band names along the
paving up "Crash alley."
Crash's headquarters, Imperial Warehouses, will also incorporate exciting new features, in the form of a live
venue, restaurant and serviced apartments, which will extend the height of the building by a further 2 extra
floors.
The building will maintain its rock n roll vibe, with Crash and band memorabilia throughout (photos, videos,
gear & equipment etc).
This exciting new project will require the building to be stripped out from top to bottom.
Therefore, anyone who has got any equipment stored at Crash must remove all gear out of storage and the
building by our deadline date of 19/10/2018
Please note that all debts must be paid in full, and failure to remove your equipment by this final date will
render it non recoverable.
We would like to take this opportunity to give sincere thanks to you all.
Hopefully, we will catch you in the next chapter.
Farewell for now,
Crash.
