St. Louis punk bands came together the day after Christmas at the Fox Hole, the new music venue at the Atomic Cowboy, to raise money for Nick Mardanes, a former St. Louis resident who's fighting cancer and Brad Cassidy, another former St. Louis resident who died last year. The benefit concert, explained last week on A to Z, raised $3,100 said organizer Rob Ruzicka.

"I'm happy we raised the amount we did although I feel like we could've done more," Ruzicka said today. "I'm happy that everyone came out and made this night a huge success. It was like one big family reunion."

Photographer Egan O'Keefe brings back these photos from the show, including the below images of locals God Fodder.
