Alex Punx | CRASS –Colosseum Aberdare 11th July 1984– (The Last Concert–Miner's Benefit) @AlexPunx | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Crass: Their final gig was a Miner's Benefit in the South Wales town of Aberdare, where they played with Annie Anxiety and Flux of Pink Indians.

Crass were an Anarcho-punk band formed in 1977. They popularised the anarcho-punk movement, and were advocates for such matters as direct action, animal rights, anti-facism, feminism, and environmentalism. From the word go, their career's ending was set to be 1984, and they lived up to this intention, splitting up following a miners' benefit gig in Wales in July that year.


On July 11th, 1984 at Aberdare Coliseum, Crass would perform for the last time. Today marks the 40th anniversary of this event, a benefit show for the miner’s strike. A bootleg recording of this show has been restored and made available to download for free.

Crass fue una banda Punk inglesa formada en 1977, que promovía el anarquismo como ideología política, modo de vida y movimiento de resistencia. Crass popularizó el movimiento anarcopunk dentro de la subcultura punk y abogó por la acción directa, los derechos de los animales y el ecologismo. La banda defendió y utilizó un enfoque ético de autosuficiencia, produciendo collages sonoros, gráficos, álbumes y películas. Crass también criticó la cultura mainstream e intentó subvertirla con mensajes que promovían el feminismo, el antirracismo, el ecologismo, el antiespecismo y el pacifismo.

El 11 de julio de 1984 la banda dio su último concierto en Aberdare (Gales) a beneficio de los mineros en huelga, para luego retirarse a Dial House, una comunidad abierta cerca de Epping (Essex) y concentrar sus energías en otras cosas.
