With Death In June and David E. Williams at the Pyramid Club in New York City
Lineup: James Powell on electric guitar and bass, Lucas Lanthier on acoustic guitar and vocals
Here are some photos of the show...
And here is the script that was employed for the first set, and all but abandoned in the second set (on account of it getting lost). The dialogs were only loosely adhered to, and some were never enacted due to certain songs not making it into the set list.

Saturday, May 28-

Featured performance at the Vampire Garden in Osaka, Japan
Lineup: Lanthier again performed the music alone, although this time he was joined on stage by the acclaimed international actress Li Yi-Hsiuan for some theatrical what-have-you.

Thursday, June 2-

Featured performance at the Witch House in Taipei, Taiwan
Lineup: Lanthier on his own again. He had this to say about the experience: "Performing without a band is nutty. On the one hand, I can spontaneously rearrange songs and change tempo without worrying about anyone else staying with me, but on the other hand, when I hit a bad note, there's nobody else making sounds to cover it up. That kind of focus on me as a performer is a new experience. A challenge, and very hard work, but I like being able to give birth to kittens in front of people."
