Wed 19th May, 2010 in International News

Against Me! has added multi-instrumentalist Franz Nicolay to its touring lineup, beginning with the band’s upcoming European tour.

Nicolay sports one of the finest mustaches in rock music and left The Hold Steady after five year’s service earlier this year.

An announcement on the Against Me! MySpace pages reads:
“We’re very happy to welcome Franz Nicolay out on the road with us! Starting with this next run of Europe dates Franz will be joining us onstage every night and lending his immense talents and presence to the band.”

In addition to his work with The Hold Steady, Nicolay released his solo debut Major General last year.

Against Me!’s first album with new drummer George Rebelo (Hot Water Music) White Crosses is due out on 4 June.
