3/6 | 7PM | $20ADV / $25DOS | 21+

Author & Punisher is a one man band led by Tristan Shone. Utilizing custom fabricated
machines, controllers and speakers called Drone Machines, the music draws heavily on
aspects of industrial automation, robotics and mechanical tools and devices, focusing
on the eroticism of the interaction with machine.

In 2024 A&P celebrated two decades of honing in on his craft - meticulously inventing,
machining, experimenting, and creating custom musical instruments for his incredible
recordings and live performances, touring the world with artists like TOOL, HEALTH,
Pertubator, Neurosis & many others. 2025 will see the release of his eighth full-length
album via Relapse Records along with an even greater emphasis and rebirth of the
visceral, live ritual.

King Yosef, born Tayves Yosef Pelletier, first earned attention as a producer, collaborating in 2016 with rappers XXXTentacion and Ski Mask the Slump God. Pelletier began releasing music as a solo artist under the King Yosef name in 2017, combining his early love for heavy music with his experiences in the hip-hop realm. A 2019 article in Revolver Magazine states: "Yosef animates the lo-fi, blown-out brood-scuzz of SoundCloud rap with the vein-popping screams of hardcore and the mechanical noise of industrial.” In the following years, Yosef sharpened his sound over the course of two EPs, several singles, and collabs with the likes of Youth Code, leading ultimately to the 2023 release of his greatest work to date: An Underlying Hum. Recorded and mixed by Converge's Kurt Ballou and Steve Evetts (Deadguy, Sepultura), An Underlying Hum is a deep dive into a broken psyche – a concept album born out of Yosef's experiences in therapy, digging deep into his childhood traumas. Yosef followed up the release of An Underlying Hum by touring the West Coast with Converge and Deaf Club, then returned to the studio to work once more with Ballou and Evetts on a handful of new tracks. With the "Cut the Cord/Shame’s Mirror" single unleashed upon the world in January 2024, Yosef immediately launches into a whirlwind of world touring with HEALTH, Greg Puciato, Trace Amount, and more.

Black Magnet are the progenitors of the new wave of American industrial metal.

Described by Revolver as "excoriating and texturally scalding brand of metallic machine music”.  Black Magnet has two full-length albums on 20 Buck Spin and a new album, ‘MEGA MANTRA’, on Federal Prisoner.

Black Magnet features members of All Your Sisters, Destroyer Destroyer, and Greg Piciato Solo. Notably, they have performed with 3Teeth, Code Orange, Autor & Punisher, Pigface, & many more. Infinity is suffocating, time is a closing hole. 

Gregorio Franco is a heavy, cold electronic project merging dark synthwave with industrial and metal influences.
