The Docker's Guild live line up is confirmed as:

For band mastermind Douglas R. Docker taking the band out of its until now studio environment and into the live arena is the next step on what is proving to be an exciting journey. Docker comments: "The Docker's Guild project was conceived from the beginning as a multimedia story to be told in various formats, with the albums and music at its center and with videos, games, comics, novels and the like expanding the world I have created.
The release of short film "Darwin's Tears", shot and produced by Silos Production (the same team that produced 011 by Therion), is the first major step in that direction. They have done a spectacular job, with the film being shot in black and white, in the style of 1920's German Expressionism and movie serials of that time. It will be about 11 minutes long and I have to say I haven't seen anything quite like it anywhere else.
There was never any intention of playing live or touring at first, but the release of the short film required a special event to mark the occasion, and I thought that combining this with a long overdue album release party would be a good idea. At that point, there was no choice but to go live, something I am very excited about. Writing, developing and recording the first album was a very exciting albeit solitary journey, and it is a very welcome change to be able to interact with other musicians who also happen to be very good friends of mine. The new lineup is very skilled and motivated and I can't wait for the show. If that goes well, I am already toying with the idea of bringing the project on the road for an Italian tour first, perhaps followed by something more international a little later. Keep your fingers crossed"!
Not only does 23 February 2013 mark the bands first live appearance but also the premiere of the highly anticipated short film for the track "Darwin's Tears" taken from the bands debut album "The Mystic Technocracy - Season 1" (out now). The worldwide premiere of the "Darwin's Tears" video will commence at 15:00hrs with a press conference and projection of the "Darwin's Tears" short film following later in the evening at 22:00 hrs with the band's live performance with special guests Last40Days along with a long awaited album release party.
The "Darwin's Tears" short film will then be made available worldwide via YouTube on the following day, 24 February 2013.
