Weekly Update // 7 April

Do you have some free time this weekend? We’re here to help fill it up with some ridiculously awesome things we’ve added to the site this week….

In addition to all of the lovely updates below we are so excited to be able to bring you these 4 amazing sets of videos!
+ a full 1993 crowd shot performance at Trinity College. Total classic and must see. Goggles!
+ all 5 songs performed at Parkpop in the NL in 2007
+ the (soon to be, we are still uploading) full Pinkpop Festival gig from 2005 in NL
+ a 4 song + interview thing with Glen in an elevator (glen-in-an-ele-va-tor!…sorry) in Amsterdam from 2006

+ We’ve updated the photos on the homepage so go have a look if you rarely go there! As usual, we moved the former photos to the Photography section. We were sad to move them, but now we are celebrating Coachella (Swell Season will be there next week) this month with a few Zoran Orlic shots from 4 years ago. We also snuck in a Zoran shot from 2005 at the ACL Fest & a fave of ours of the lads at Town Hall in NYC by Patrick Glennon.

+ At the 2001 For The Birds page we’ve posted a little piece of history with Glen talking about For The Birds track by track for RTE radio. It’s totally worth 15 minutes of your time! Also added links to RTE’s review of FTB at the time.

+ A bunch of new stuff on the 30 March FTB gig page– Emmet O’Brien’s pre-show speech (you can read and listen here), photos, 10 more videos and a great blog post from Jen about her experience at the gig with her guide dog O.J! (posted at Your Stories)

+We made a gig page for Glen’s appearance at the Barretstown Foundation fundraiser including full video that ran during the online stream – 4 songs and an interview

+ speaking of Coachella 2007 – we added a couple of cool shots from that same show (more to come soon)

+a video of What Happens to the Belfast gig from the 20th Tour

+ a super cool shot of Glen at Shepherds Bush in London from the 20th as well

+ a performance of Fake from 2002 on Dutch television in the TV section

+ Hot Press review of The Commitments at the O2

+ Lots more videos for each Commitments gig

+ a beautiful video of See-Line woman from the Glen & Liam gig at Whelan’s in March shot by Steve Mogerley

That’s it for now. Is that quite enough? We want to reiterate, if you see something on the site that you recorded and don’t want posted here, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will remove it. Thanks to everyone who’s helped so far in the last 3 short months! Until next time, remember, “Freeebiiiird!” = still not funny.

Weekly Update // #ForTheBirdsLive Edition

How’s everyone feeling after the gig last night? Heyday is still ringing in our ears and hearts, so we can only imagine how those of you that were actually at the show must feel! Even though the feed was dodgy in the beginning and Twitter crashed before the band even started, we still consider the live broadcast of the For The Birds anniversary show from Vicar Street last night to be a massive success. It was a great feeling of community, thinking about everyone else around the world who were tuning in to hear The Frames bring to life these meaningful songs from a specific moment in their history.

Thank you so much to the band and friends (especially Claire, Donal, Leon, Jerry and Shane) for everything they did to make this concert available to those who wanted to be there but could not. If you have any feedback about the live broadcast, please take a moment to share your constructive feedback with Donal by filling out this form!

We are grateful for the lucky folks in the audience took the time to record and share the gig. We’ve added video of the songs that have already been uploaded along with some photos and reviews on the gig page. If were at the show and would like to share your experience, feel free to drop us a line!

The other thing occupying our minds this week was the announcement of the Eddie Vedder/Glen Hansard US tour this summer. We’ve posted the dates with links to local announcements and/or ticket sales on the Glen dates page and we believe the general sale for most of the shows is tomorrow, April 1st at 10am local time. Good luck to everyone trying for tickets!

Aside from that we’ve no other updates for the week, but we already have some gems queued up for the coming week and of course will add anything else that comes up from last night to the gig page. Into April we go…..

The Frames Live From Vicar Street // 30 March

For those of us who cannot be at Wednesday night’s gig in Dublin, here is some fantastic news! Stay tuned here there and everywhere for more information ahead of Wednesday night.
——–
due to the incredible demand for this gig, we’re frantically trying to make something happen whereby you could listen in even if you can’t physically be there in person. not the same thing i know, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick…

if it works, we’ll be having a live audio stream from the show on the interweb somewhere. Details will be posted on www.theframes.ie and our Facebook, MySpace and Twitter pages from ~ 18:00 on 30 March. You’ll need a flash-enabled web browser to access the stream. We will try to support mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads and Android devices too.

Do bear with us though as we have never done this before from this venue and it’s not easy. There may be glitches on the night, but, we’ll have a few techie minded folks on hand throughout the day trying their damnedest to make it happen. We’ll start with the interference set and go on from there… If you are having trouble, please let us know via the feedback form on the live stream page.
