Hello & Welcome!

Hi hi hi & welcome to all the new eyeballs that have checked out the site in the last couple of days since Glen’s very kind tweet on Friday! We hope you come around often, there certainly is a lot to look at and we strive to add at least a few new things every week. We usually post a list of all the new additions every Thursday night (ish) so if you follow along on Twitter or Facebook you’ll be alerted to when that happens.

Here’s a little something to make your Monday more awesome. Just added 4 really fun songs from a 2004 festival gig at Marlay Park in Dublin- Hollocaine, Perfect Opening Line, Billie Jean & Where Is My Mind. Go have a listen and to anyone going to see Glen (and Graham & Joe!) tonight at Whelan’s, have a great time!

Weekly Update // 23 Feb.

Breaking free of the Thursday update format! We’ve added just a few things recently, so behold…

If you are a newer fan you might not know about this gem of a piece from 2003. TodayFM radio did an almost 2 hour documentary called Revelations: The Story of the Frames. It’s about just what it says there and aired the same week as Set List was released. This is a must listen if you haven’t heard it before. You can stream it on the site or just go ahead and download all of the parts.

In addition this week:
A link to a fantastic interview with Glen after he joined Levon Helm at the most recent Midnight Ramble on 12 February.

A link to a piece/interview with The Independent (UK) from April 2005.

Lastly, we’ve added several new videos of songs already posted to the 7 December 2010 Brussels gig (Finally, Happy, Lay Me Down, Keepsake, Rent Day Blues, Pavement Tune, Star Star – Hotellounge, Revelate, Your Face, Santa Maria). Unfortunately the audio is frequently muffled/distorted, but they were shot from the front row, so if you wanted to be up front in Brussels but couldn’t quite get there, here ya go!

Special thanks to Sara & Laura this week and, as always, if you have anything Frames related to share, please do so! If you take part in online shenanigans, give us a follow at Facebook and Twitter so we can bug you over there too.
