Voodoo’s flagship location in Portland, Ore., has long hosted garage/punk gigs. The Austin Sixth Street outlet inaugurates its own live concert series with a special Halloween release party for new local punk supergroup the Oxys’ debut album, A Date With the Oxys, issued three days prior by Dead Beat Records. Centered around ex-Bulemics/Dead Boys/Syl Sylvain guitarist Jason “Ginchy” Kottwitz and Nowherebound’s Phil Davis singing, the 10 songs brilliantly intersect the Dead Boys and Cheap Trick. ATX hardcore luminaries Böndbreakr and User Unauthorized support.
