Hans Gruber and the Die Hards

Hans Gruber and the Die Hards play Alienated Majesty Books on Thursday, September 10, with Doom Scroll opening. It's a punk and ska bill, so you've got two bands on the same ticket. If you're not familiar with the name, the headliner leans into the punk and ska side of things, and Doom Scroll takes the opening slot.

Both bands fit the same general orbit, so the night stays in one lane rather than jumping between styles. It's a straightforward double bill: Doom Scroll gets the room warmed up, and Hans Gruber and the Die Hards take over for the main set. If you're into punk and ska, that's the whole of it—two acts, one night, and a venue that doubles as a bookstore.

Alienated Majesty Books is in Austin, and the show is on Thursday, September 10. If you're planning to be there, it's worth keeping in mind that the venue is a bookstore, which puts a different kind of frame around a punk and ska show than a traditional club would. Between the two bands, you'll get a full evening of music without having to hunt for a second thing to do.
