A direct-flash, nighttime photograph of four smiling concertgoers posing together during Static Fest at The Moontower. From left to right: an individual with a mustache wearing a black graphic t-shirt that reads 'PUNK SAVES'; a person with dark hair and red bangs wearing a black top; an individual with glasses wearing a reddish-brown t-shirt that reads 'LET'S SETTLE THIS LIKE ADULTS'; and a person wearing a black-and-white zebra-striped short-sleeve button-down shirt. Behind the group, the venue's industrial background is visible, featuring a corrugated metal roll-up door on the left and a brick wall on the right.

St. Louis punk bands Wes Hoffman & Friends, and Vallencourt, came to Pinellas County last Saturday, and got a bunch of help from homegrown punk bands on the way to selling out Static Fest inside Dunedin Brewery’s neighboring Moon Tower venue.
