weekly updates archive

Spring is springing! At least where we are. Autumn used to be my favorite season but in recent years Spring has made me happier. Especially as it corresponds with Easter candy season…any other black jellybean fans out there? There are so few of us (but we’re right!).

Ok on to the updates this week! Special shout out to our new pal Sara for sending more from her great collection!

New photos on the homepage just added tonight. We have shots by Patrick Glennon, Rob Wanenchak & David Vagg.

There is a new page detailing current Frames members’ projects outside the band. Please have a look and let us know if there is anything we can add!

We’ve added SEVEN new videos to the 6 Dec 2010 Prague show (Seven Day Mile, What Happens, Finally, Your Face, Underglass, Santa Maria, Disappointed)

More:
– info and videos from Glen’s appearance at the Neil Young tribute at Carnegie Hall 10 Feb.
– gig tickets and a setlist scan from the Philly & DC shows in 2010
– set list and DVD screencaps from the Interceltic Festival in Lorient, FR in 2002
– 2 new gig posters for Point Depot in Dublin 2005 and the 2005 US Tour with Josh Ritter

Ok now go weekend it up!

We have a light update this week since Jenn is off on a family vacation, enjoying warmer climes. Shannon’s been holding down the fort and we have these short but sweet updates for you to enjoy!

– we switched out some of Zoran’s photos on the homepage.
– added a new Glen date for 1 April – a charity gig in Dublin for the Barretstown Foundation for kids affected by childhood cancer.
– the beloved motorcycle poster for the Frames Sept 2007 US Tour by the awesomely talented Chicago artist Jay Ryan (if you are not familiar with his work, you must check it out).
– a video for Evergreen from the 13 Dec 2010 gig at Vicar Street.
– a whole page of good stuff from Glen’s City Winery gig in NYC on 2 Feb.
– setlist and videos from Glen joining Mar for some songs at her gig at Zora Space in Brooklyn on 5 Feb.

Next week we hope to have things to share from Glen’s bit at the Neil Young tribute at Carnegie Hall tonight and whatever else pops up/gets dug up between now and then! Thanks everyone….

Has it been another week already? Can’t say we’re sad to see January go!

We’ve made a page for the site over at Facebook where we’ll post about updates and sometimes favorite bits from the site to spice up your workday (that’s what FB’s for right?). So if you’re already there why not give us a thumbs up!

Since 2011 is the 10th anniversary of the release of For The Birds we’ve set up a little page for it featuring some press and photos (by the awesome Patrick Glennon) from the time. Quite notably we’ve posted wonderful documentation by Donal Scannell of the day the band got their finished copies of the record and performed at a cafe in Dublin. If you haven’t seen these videos it’s well worth your time to check them out.

Our friend Andrea chose Red Chord for the latest selection on the Jukebox.

We have a few bits from the Swell Season’s performance at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival this past weekend.

A couple of lovely photos and 2 videos of Colm at Sutherland Entertainment Centre in Sydney, AU. Also reviews from two other AU shows Sydney and Melbourne.

An Aug ’10 interview with Colm at The Ruckus

A fan’s set list from the stage at RDS 30 Aug 2003.

3 videos from 10 Sept ’07 in NYC at Webster Hall – Lay Me Down, What Happens When The Heart Just Stops, Star Star

5 videos from this amazing show 6 Sept. ’07 in LA at the Henry Fonda Theatre – Stars Are Underground, Fake, Falling Slowly, People Get Ready & Where Is My Mind

Video of Santa Maria on 5 Oct. ’06 in Cork at the Everyman Theatre.

Video of People Get Ready on 31 Oct. ’07 in Dublin.

To close, we’re encouraging folks to continue to send stuff in! If you know someone who is a fan but may not know about the site, please fill them in. We’d love more stuff that we just won’t find online…you know, those boxes or notebooks of old rock and roll stuff from your wayward youth you have stashed away somewhere. Bring them into the light!

Thanks and have a super cool weekend!

This week we’ve set up a section called Video Series. For now we’re featuring 3 series of videos by the fantastic Donal Scannell: Witness 2001 (which has been on our site), songs by the Valmez Campfire in 2001, and set of songs performed in the Uhls Sauna Session. Donal is a long time documentarian of the band and we’re ecstatic to have him as part of our site!

In addition we have a new page called Live Recordings. This is just a handy list of bootlegs available in various places online as at this point in time we don’t plan on hosting them ourselves.

On to the other updates:

We’ve added a couple more Glen dates in NYC in February and more setlists throughout.

There’s a bunch of previews/reviews/interviews from Colm’s stint in Australia this month including a radio interview with ABC Radio. Check them out here on Colm’s gig page.
