Franz Nicolay - 2009 Tour Dates (Sunday @ LPR)

Franz Nicolay

Hex Education Journal: What made you want to come out with a solo album now? Did you feel the time was just right?

Franz Nicolay: I feel the time is right to start setting the groundwork. Before joining World/Inferno I had fronted my own band, but I was having no success, nobody cared. So when I joined World/Inferno and it was a band that actually had fans I was like "thank god!" I just sort of put that part of myself aside for five or six years, but I knew it was something I was going to turn to, and one of the benefits of being in World/Inferno was that I had been that I was able to do a lot of different projects and one of the things I was missing in the intense and steady touring process was the opportunity to do different kinds of music. I was afraid of getting re-defined as a piano player in a rock band.
While I do a certain amount of songwriting in The Hold Steady Im sort of the John Paul Jones or George Harrison of the group.

The Sunday night late show at Le Poisson Rouge (1/11) in NYC features Nathaniel Rateliff, Sxip Shirey, and Franz Nicolay. All of Franz's tour dates below...

Franz is a super nice guy and puts on a very entertaining live show: lots of story telling, a couple of cheesy jokes, some folklore, dancing, and dramatization...and breaks out the guitar, accordion, and banjo. Plus, he'll be joined by Jack Terricloth (singer) and Ken Thompson (clarinet/sax) of World/Inferno. If you enjoy cabaret, vaudeville, and off-beat indie music check out this show.

Cabaret is the new Williamsburg.
