Gulf High grads Drew Williams, Louis Ciper, and Jay MacDonald (pictured) don’t all live in the same town, but as What's What New Port Richey points out, they still run DIY record company Ashtray Monument together.
On Saturday, the three are coming back to NPR to celebrate the label with “Monufest” in and around Ordinance One tattoo shop. The all-ages party starts at 1 p.m. with a stack of indie, punk, and hardcore bands including St. Augustine’s Telepathic Lines and Gainesville's Thunderclap. Plus, High (stylized HiGH) brings “fuzzy punk” down from New Orleans.
Music starts at 2 p.m., food at 4 p.m. (Johnny’s Table Puerto Rican food truck) plus a silent auction and in-between sets from DJ Goth Brooks.
Monufest w/ Thunderclap/High/Telepathic Lines/Curtains/Teresa Rose/TheHamiltons/Grave Return/The Sons Of James/Supermutanthumanskin. Saturday, Oct. 23, 1 p.m. $20. Ordinance One, New Port Richey. ashtraymonument.com
