Warehouse Live presents Crimson Projekct. With Adrian Belew Power Trio, Stickmen (feat. Tony Levin & Pat Mastelotto), and a special "Crim-centric" encore.

The ProjeKcts are a succession of spin-off projects associated with the band King Crimson. Devoted to instrumental and heavily improvised music, the ProjeKcts were most active from 1997 to 1999, but have performed intermittently since. Guitarist Robert Fripp has described their purpose as being "research and development" for King Crimson. While Fripp stated he was happy for a ProjeKct to be formed without him, he has been the only consistent member of all the ProjeKcts to date.

Levin, Mastelotto and Belew organised the "3 of a Perfect Pair Camp" in August 2011, which included the trio performing a set of King Crimson material together, partway through being joined by Julie Slick (bass) and Tobias Ralph (drums) from the Adrian Belew Power Trio.

This performance was a preview of the Two of a Perfect Trio tour of the US/Canada in September-October 2011. This saw sets by the Stick Men (Tony Levin on Chapman Stick and vocals; Pat Mastelotto on drums, percussion, vocals) and Markus Reuter (on touch-style guitars), the Adrian Belew Power Trio and then a final set by all six musicians (Levin, Mastelotto, Belew, Slick, Ralph and Reuter) or various subsets thereof playing King Crimson material (mainly material from Belew's periods in the band).

This six-person line-up has now been announced as supporting Dream Theater on the band's summer 2012 US tour under the name Crimson ProjeKct.
