Inge Johansson (The (International) Noise Conspiracy) to play bass for upcoming Against Me! tour

Against Me!, who recently welcomed Atom Willard (Angels And Airwaves, The Offspring) into the band as their new permanent drummer, will take Inge Johansson of The (International) Noise Conspiracy on the road to fill in on bass for their upcoming string of performances.

Since The (International) Noise Conspiracy went on hiatus in 2009, Johansson has gone on to form a new project, Alonzo & Fas 3, and has toured with CSS.

Longtime Against Me! bassist Andrew Seward departed the group back in the spring, and the band have not performed live since. They did, however, employ the help of Fat Mike of NOFX while recording their upcoming album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues.

Here's an announcement from frontwoman Laura Jane Grace, who recently completed a solo acoustic tour, about Johansson:

Excited to say that @jimmyjames_b , @AtomWillard and I will be joined by Inge Johansson on bass for this upcoming run of shows.
