Weekly Update / 2 June

Short and sweet this week….we were excited to hear the news about a third Frames gig being added to the upcoming dates in a couple of weeks in Ireland (even though we can’t be there)! Apparently everyone else was too because it sold out in about 10 minutes, but we hear De Barra’s is a tiny place, so good times for all the lucky folks who got tickets! So 9, 10 & 11 June dates are all listed here.

In addition to that, we’ve got:
+ finally finished up the Discography
+ made a page for Glen’s performance at the MET in NYC with partial set list, photos, reviews and loads of videos
+ added a very cool sounding interview (scroll to the bottom of the page) Colm did with the Gaelic radio show Raidio Na Life. Note: Colm’s album The Hare’s Corner was recently released in the UK. Colm/The Hare’s Corner now has a page on Facebook too.
+ The Swell Season movie will be opening the Silver Docs Documentary Festival in Silver Springs, MD on 20 June.

Oh, and you can get tickets to see Glen & Jake Clemons at Whelan’s on 7 June here!

That’s it for now guys and gals. Around this time next week a lot of you will be with the lads at Vicar Street!

Colm recently did an interview with Raidio Na Life. It’s in Gaelic so we don’t know what they’re talking about aside from Dylan’s 70th birthday. Anyone feel free to send along a translation of the interview. Listen here at Soundcloud.

Weekly Update // 26 May

We can’t believe a week has already gone by since last time. Time flies when your kids are sick/almost out of school/have the finally warm weather crazies? Who knows. We almost weren’t even sure that we’d get any updates done, especially since Jenn knocked the site offline yesterday for a few hours, oops (which reminds us to remind you to follow us on Twitter or Facebook just in case)! We rallied the troops and were able to get some goodies posted up though, so here ya go…

+ new Glen solo date added– he’ll be opening for Jake Clemons at Whelans on 7 June.
+ added a scanned ticket from the For The Birds anniversary gig. we love artifacts!
+ finally scanned my copy of the Hot Press special edition from February featuring Glen on the cover (photo by Zoran Orlic) and a great interview about his last 20 years playing music. The interview was conducted while The Frames were in the States in November.
+ Joe & Glen do an acoustic version of Falling Slowly for an RTE2 pre-show thing at Electric Picnic back in Sept.
+ 2 videos of The Frames doing the elevator thing for 3Voor12 in Utrecht in 2007
+ 5 Dutch gig reviews/articles added: 23 June 2007 at Tivoli, 2 Nov 2006,  8 Feb 2007, and 30 Dec 2005 & 31 Jan 2007 both added to Press page

Cheers to those of you who are going to see Glen (and Mark Geary we think!?) tonight at the MET in NYC! We have a 3 day weekend coming up in the States, so good times to those of you who get to participate in that. All the rest of y’all have a groovy weekend too. June with its many gigs is sneaking up so fast….!

Weekly Update // 19 May

Hi all! Just a few updates this week, but a note- If you could do us a favor and let us know if the wait time on the site loading is a problem for you that would be great! It does take wee bit of time to load sometimes, especially for new visitors, but it’s worth the wait.

The biggest add is a Discography section. There’s a lovely discography at www.theframes.ie, but we felt it was one thing that was missing from OITS. It’s not done yet, but we’ll be adding the rest asap.

The rest….
+ we added the Glen date for the Pearl Jam Anniversary throw down on Labor Day Weekend in East Troy, WI.
+ scanned set lists from various gigs –  15 feb & 17 feb 2007,  16 july 2007, 3 dec 2010, 7 dec 2010, 31 mar 2011
+ posted a 3 part interview from 2009 with Glen on OneMoreTune.ie in the TV section
+ a great video of the guys doing Bell x1’s Flame from the gig with Bell x1 17 Feb 2007 in The Hague, NL
+ videos of People Get Ready and (partial) Last Goodbye and Red Chord in Utrecht, NL on 23 June 2007
+ pro-shot video of Young Hearts Run Free from Glen’s appearance at the Barretstown charity gig in April
+ video of Colm performing with Kila at the 2011 Possibilities Summit in Dublin
+ a new add to Your Stories about various Frames-oriented gigs Petr Vlasak has attended

Also, just today Claire announced that the band Favourite Sons will be supporting both Frames June gigs. Have a good weekend!
