Yes, that's her. If anything, I think it is only gaining them fans. I feel like 75% of the crowd last night hadn't heard of Against Me! 2 years ago. But then this story broke and a lot of people have rallied behind her. I'm sure there are assholes out there who let this sort of thing bother them, but fuck them. They aren't the type of people Against Me! would want supporting them anyway.
They've lost a lot of fans along the way as their sound has progressed over the course of a decade+. But I've loved everything they've ever done, they still put on the best live show I've ever seen, and seeing a subdued, solo acoustic show in a tiny atmosphere was just perfect for the set that she played. It was one of the best moments of my life.
The band has struggled to even finish this album that they have been working on for a long time now, as their drumming situation has been in flux for a few years now and their bassist recently left the band. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is the last album they ever produce, at least the last under the Against Me! moniker. But from what I heard last night, it is going to be an absolute gem of an album, and if it is the way they go out, it will be a worthy swan song for what is, in my opinion, the greatest band going right now.
