VFW Post 39 in St. Petersburg, Florida

The Tampa Bay area needs more venues, especially ones where new band can cut their teeth and have shows without breaking the bank.

VFW Post 39 has been a bastion for the local rock scene, and as the block around it changes, the hall needs some dough to update and install its fire suppression system. To help, hardcore band Highest Crown, post-hardcore outfit Last Bias and Palm Harbor punk band Low Cards play this benefit where Headless State (which played its first show this month) opens.

There's a $10 suggested donation for the VFW Post 39 HC Matinee Benefit happening in St. Petersburg on Sunday, July 21. Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
