w/ Empty Lungs, Son of The Hound and Philthy
@ The bar with no name, Belfast, 16 March 2015
£8 on the door or £7 in advance:
Franz Nicolay is that multi-instrumentalist and man-about-town peddling a modern vaudeville with full-throated songs and stories shamelessly strident, stentorian and more than a little sentimental.
He's been a member of world's best bar band The Hold Steady, cabaret-punk circus The World/Inferno Friendship Society, Balkan-jazz carnies Guignol, founded the outlaw orchestra Anti-Social Music, was a occasional touring member of agit-punks Against Me! and recorded or performed with everyone from Frank Turner to Leftöver Crack to The Dresden Dolls.
He was recently named #1 of “Punk's 10 Best Accordion Players.”
