The duo had previously toured only acoustically, therefore, this tour was the first ever series of live shows to feature Black and Gass on stage with a full backing-band, as they had only previously performed with a band in the recording studio and on occasional TV appearances. The backing band for the tour consisted of guitarists John Konesky and John Spiker from Gass' side-project Trainwreck, as well as Bad Religion drummer Brooks Wackerman. This was also the band's first ever major concert tour with an elaborate stage set and lighting, as they had previously only toured with little to no set design.
