Author & Punisher Announce Sept. West Coast Tour
What’s ‘Generator Party’ at Giant Rock at the end of this tour? Is that an actual generator party out in the desert — some codified version of the renegade setups of the ’80s and ’90s — or something else? Is it a fest? A venue? I don’t know. I’m curious, that’s all.
Author & Punisher‘s new video for “Black Storm Petrel” was filmed live in Warsaw, Poland, at VooDoo Club, and wouldn’t you know it, the clip’s unveiling and the tour of the Pacific Seaboard the two-piece just announced come even as they make ready to embark on their current UK/Euro run, supporting 2025’s duly-flattening Nocturnal Birding (review here). Timing is everything. Tristan Shone and Doug Sabolick embark on that tour June 23, where the new-announced shows are for September, so make sure you know where to be when.
The PR wire has it thusly:

Ha! I didn’t know that the guy from Ecstatic Vision was part of Author & Punisher now
Yeah, Doug’s been with Tristan for a few years now, did a lot of the touring for the last album and contributed more to ‘Nocturnal Birding’ in the writing. I haven’t seen A&P live in a while, but I’m dying to.
