Franz Nicolay

Franz Nicolay

Franz Nicolay is an American multi-instrumentalist and composer currently living in Brooklyn, New York. He is perhaps best known for his work in The World/Inferno Friendship Society playing the accordion and the piano and in The Hold Steady playing keyboards. He is also notable for founding Anti-Social Music, a composer/performer collective in New York City and for performing in the gypsy-klezmer troupe, Guignol.

Beyond his long-term participation with these groups, Franz has appeared in recordings from many other bands, such as Mischief Brew, Leftover Crack, The Dresden Dolls, and Nanuchka.

Franz is presently performing Solo gigs, and in February 2008 will be entering a studio to record a solo album with a band including members of Demander, Dresden Dolls and Nanuchka.

Franz plays piano/keyboard and arranged the strings on Australian punk/rockers The Living End's 2008 release White Noise.
