Riverboat Gamblers, The Oxys and Outta Grace

Riverboat Gamblers play Valhalla on Saturday, October 24, with The Oxys and Outta Grace opening. The night runs from 9 PM to 1 AM, and the show is 21 and up.

Riverboat Gamblers are an Austin-by-way-of-Denton Texas power-punk five-piece. Their fiery garage-punk has spanned nearly two decades, and they've built a reputation for raucous, unpredictable live shows that have more than once ended in injury and blood. The sound pairs Cheap Trick-ian hooks and gang vocals with the pathos of trucker speed and free-clinic waiting rooms. Mike Wiebe fronts the band on vocals, with Fadi El-Assad and Ian MacDougall on guitar and vocals, Rob Marchant on bass and vocals, and Sam Keir on drums.

Valhalla is a rock & roll lounge at 710 Red River St, the old Room 710 location. It's known for having the nicest bathrooms on the street and keeps a jukebox and pool tables on hand. The night starts with The Oxys and Outta Grace warming up the room before the Gamblers take over. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.
