About

Hunx and His Punx are ecstatic campy fun, laced with a bite. The trio—Seth Bogart, Shannon Shaw (of Shannon & The Clams), and Erin Emslie—helped define a strain of early-2000s queer garage punk that's as indebted to analog retro-trash aesthetics and girl-group harmonies as to riot grrrl and DIY noise. Their command of dark humor does the best any of us can in a weird, wild, heavy world—only with sharper hooks and better eyeliner. It’s a sensibility that repurposes a chewed-up 20th century for the present, placing them in a lineage of outsider pop closer to the gleefully twisted kitsch of John Waters than to straightforward punk revivalism.

After more than a decade-long hiatus, Hunx and His Punx released Walked Out on the World and Lived to Tell the Tale. With singles like “Alone in Hollywood on Acid” and “No Way Out,” the album is a jubilant celebration of chaotic glam and tender depravity.

Know Before You Go

Why are the ticket times staggered?

The different time slots allow our security and visitor services staff to manage guest arrivals and help ensure you make it up the hill in time for the performance. However, you are allowed to arrive at the Getty Center anytime before your timed entry, so we encourage you to enjoy the garden at sunset with a picnic and visit our galleries, which are are open late on Saturdays.

Although free reservations for entry are required, if there is capacity the day of a sold out event, visitor services will allow walk-ups. We recommend arriving early to do so.

Planning your arrival

Please bring your tickets with you and have them open on your mobile device or printed. Your event ticket is also your entry to the Getty Center and will be checked upon arrival as you go through security before taking the tram or walking up the hill.

Event check-in

Tickets for this event have a timed entry. If you are not visiting the Getty Center prior to your reservation, please arrive as close to your entry time as possible as it helps our security and visitor services staff ensure everyone can be checked in in a timely manner.

Seating

This event is standing room only, with some spots for sitting toward the back of the event space.

Accessibility

Wheelchairs are available for free rental on a first-come, first-served basis at the Lower Tram Station above the parking structure and at the Coat Check Room in the Museum Entrance Hall.

Seating for wheelchair users and their party is available throughout the Museum Courtyard. Please let a Visitor Services associate know when you check in and they can escort you to the optimal spot for enjoying the concert.
