Franz Nicolay
   President
   Composer
   Accordionist

Franz Nicolay is that mustachioed multi-instrumentalist and man-about-town you've seen with cabaret-punk circus World/Inferno Friendship Society, gypsy-klezmer carnies Guignol, and world's best bar band the Hold Steady. He founded Anti-Social Music. He has also been composer-in-residence with the NYU New Music & Dance Ensemble during a residency in Pisa, Italy; written for dancer Diane Carroll and performed with the Ivy Baldwin Dance Company; was co-composer and musical director for Chelsea Bacon's "Breaker: An Aerial Fairy Tale", which combined original songs and incidental music with aerial acrobatics and storytelling; and works as a composer, arranger, and producer. Nicolay has also recorded with bands including Leftover Crack, Erik Peterson/Mischief Brew, and Nanuchka. Take that scum.
