St. Pete’s First Fridays are more than just dudes in polo shirts.

A short walk away from First Block, Tampa rock band Just Courtesy headlines a gig at The Nest where the Bay area gets a visit from Orlando indie-pop project Holly Pocket, and an introduction of sorts to Library Card, a Tampa band that’s been cutting its rock sound at boba spots since January.

Tickets to see Just Courtesy, Library Card, and Holly Pocket at The Nest at St. Pete Brewing Co. in St. Petersburg on Friday, Aug. 7 are still available and start at $12.
