The Frames 25th Anniversary Gigs

January 15, 2015

frames_gigannounceIn honor of their 25th anniversary, The Frames have announced 2 gigs this summer in Ireland. Tickets go on sale for these shows on Thursday January 22. Click through for ticket links and to read the full press release!

T H E    F R A M E S
25th Anniversary Shows
=============
Iveagh Gardens, Dublin – July 4th and 5th
Marquee, Cork – July 11th

The Frames are pleased to announce two summer shows for the Iveagh Gardens, Dublin and Live at the Marquee Cork to mark 25 years as one of Ireland’s most important rock bands.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Acknowledged as one of Ireland’s most successful domestic music acts of their generation, The Frames career spans 3 decades.

They released their first album in 1992 and, over nearly a decade bounced through various well-documented record deals and band line-ups releasing consistently excellent records (Fitzcarraldo and Dance The Devil) along the way in spite of it. Finally, as the new millennium appeared the band shook themselves free of outside influences, beginning work on their seminal For The Birds, which they released on their own Plateau label in March 2001.

Two years later after constant touring and an ever-rising fanbase, the band released their live opus, Set List. It became the first of their albums to début in the Irish Album Charts at No 1 in May 2003 and has gone on to be their biggest-selling album to date. They continued with their relentless touring schedule around the world, inked an international record deal with the Anti record label (whilst retaining release rights for their own label at home and in Australia) and still found time to record and release their 5th studio album.

Following hot on the heels of a monumental sold-out open-air show in front of nearly 20,000 at Dublin’s Marlay Park, Burn The Maps was released in September 2004. It went straight to No 1 at home in Ireland and became a long-term fixture in the Irish Charts in spite of the band having to spend most of their time away on tour supporting its release worldwide in 2005.

The Frames finished up 2005 with a sold-out gig in Dublin’s Point Theatre and meanwhile in U.S., Burn The Maps finished at No 5 in the New York Times end of year Top 10 releases. 2006 began with Esquire magazine giving them the coveted Best Import award (which Coldplay had won the previous year).

Indulging a spot of moonlighting in March 2006, frontman Glen Hansard released a universally acclaimed collaborative Swell Season album (charting at No 5) and tour with Czech singer/pianist/composer Marketa Irglova. The film Once followed in 2007 and the Oscar went to Glen and Mar in 2008 for ‘Falling Slowly”.

The band released their 6th studio album, The Cost, in Ireland on Plateau in Ireland September 2006 (the rest of Europe followed in October on the Anti label). It went straight into the album charts at No 2 and was the springboard for a solid year of international touring, which culminated in a Christmas show in Ireland with Snow Patrol and a headline show to ring in the new year.

All of The Frames’ albums to date have achieved Double Platinum sales status in Ireland (with the band’s live album, Set List, and For The Birds selling well in excess of Quadruple Platinum).

2010 saw The Frames celebrating their 20 year anniversay and after sometime away from playing live, the band returned to headline Electric Picnic as well as touring the US and Europe before finishing the year with sold-out Dublin shows in The Olympia,
Vicar St and Whelans in December.

Round Up // October

October 3, 2013

Hi all! It’s been about 4 months since our last rundown of news & additions to the site, so here we go:

First off, In 2005 (& 2007) The Frames’ stellar merch manager Cherie kept a tour diary for theframes.ie as the band traveled around the US, Canada, Australia, Europe & then back to Canada & the US again! We’ve added to our archive here too with links that go to particular gig pages & other bits, if available. Enjoy!

**Glen and the band played lots of shows over the summer since our last blog update including one with Bruce Springsteen! Watch Glen, naturally, beaming while performing Drive All Night with Bruce & the E Street Band.

**One of these gigs took place at Iveagh Gardens in Dublin. Myles O’Reilly (aka Arbutus Yarns) captured the magic & made a 30 minute film of this special night. If you haven’t yet, definitely make some time to watch here.

**You can catch Glen’s whole set from the Haldern Pop Fest on 10 August here on the German television program Rockpalast.

**Last month Glen showed up to support his friend Mark Geary at the Grand Social in Dublin. Click here for photos & a video.

**A few days after that, Glen and the whole gang joined in as support for The Michael Buckley Band at Whelans. Here are some great photos from that show.

**Graham, Justin, Michael, Curtis & Ronan and friends have also been busy playing a couple of shows at Whelans as Square Pegs.

**In conjunction with the July Irish gigs, Glen did a few interviews:

Here with Miriam O’Callaghan subbing on The John Murray Show at RTE Radio 1.

Here speaking with Olaf Tyaransen for GAF TV before the Galway Arts Festival.

Here with Ray D’Arcy on TodayFM – skip to 29:00 – includes lovely acoustic versions of Lay Me Down & Revelate.

Glen Lisa Ireland Poster Final Small**There are 2 more tours to finish off a busy 2013: Glen solo around Ireland with Lisa O’Neill (which is mostly sold out) in October and Glen + the whole band in Russia, Europe & Ireland in November. This includes 2 gigs at Vicar Street 25 & 26 November. The 25th show is to aid the Peter McVerry Trust & Dublin Simon Community.

**On Halloween night, 31 October, Glen himself will join writer John Kelly for an evening of Music & Conversation at The Helix DCU in Dublin. You can still get tickets here for €25 on sale now here!

**Colm has been performing some around Ireland and is currently working on his 2nd solo record. He recently provided the music for a documentary called An Bhean A Shiúil Trasna Mheiriceá (The Woman Who Walked Across America) that aired on TG4 in Ireland. You can watch the film here on their site.

**Watch Glen & Colm perform (with a band) on the Czech late night tv show “Tečka páteční noci” – 3 songs at the start (Love Don’t Leave Me Waiting, High Hope, Talking With the Wolves) then Bird of Sorrow & Fitzcarraldo at 57:55, & Her Mercy at 1:05. Interview throughout the whole show. Neat format!

**The Frames recently provided their song People Get Ready to this video in conjunction with “Honor The Treaty” which asks the Federal Government of America to return Lakota lands to the Lakota Nation (also known as Sioux) as it committed to in the Treaty of 1868 (before gold was discovered in the Black Hills). You can check out their website and sign their petition here.

**In case you missed it before- Listen to this entertaining interview Graham did about the art of drumming with Dave Fanning during an RTE Radio series on the art of music.

**Speaking of Graham, he launched his own website back in the spring and Rob just did an overhaul of his as well. Have a look there at all his great audio engineer work in addition to his performance discography.

**We leave you with this gem – Glen brings “Bananaman” to an online tv show in Chicago called Adventure Sandwich!

 

Hello & Welcome!

March 7, 2011

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 // Mar. 3

March 3, 2011

Some fun adds this past week and special thanks to Laura, Carol, Pavel, Courtney & Ivi!

You have to see these fantastic old photos from 1 July 2001 in Poprad, Slovakia
Check out a few lovely photos added to the 8 Dec. 2010 London gig

We’ve made God Bless Mom & Star Star from a 2003 Fine Line Cafe gig available on the site. This recording is great for Joe fans as his vocals are a little more audible than usual!

Listen to Underglass from Lollapalooza 2006 here, ’twas a really fun show (as evidenced by awesome video of God Bless Mom get down with Beatle Bob)!

5 new pieces in Press:
3 March 2005 – Rob shares his “Celebrity Spins” with Now Magazine in Toronto
21 March 2005 – Interview with Colm at Chicago Inner View by Janine Schaults (from Behind The Glass)
29 April 2005 – a fantastic interview with Glen in the Independent (UK) by Alexia Loundras
5 March 2008 – Hot Press cover interview by Peter Murphy with Glen & Mar after winning their Oscar (scanned pages, great piece!)
Nov 2010 – How The Frames Are A Lot Like Sharks at The Ruckus

Lastly, we’ve added a few super cool posters throughout the site:
2004 Finally single release
12 Feb 1999 Vicar Street gig
2 April 2001 For The Birds release
November 2001 Vicar Street gig series

That’s all for now friends. We’re looking forward to all the good stuff that may come our way this month! Have a great one…xo

Weekly Update // 23 Feb.

February 23, 2011

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.
