Haven't seen discussion of this one, kinda surprising given all the Frames talk a while back. Anyone interested? Glen and Marketa did this show at Iota last year and it quickly evolved into a Hansard solo show â?? an hour's worth of Frames material after 40 minutes of the Swell Season songs. Which aren't bad. Aren't bad at all.
Swell Season roll call
You've been looking in the wrong threads, I think. There's already a mini-roll-call in the movies thread where it was brought up repeatedly.
Anyway, I'll be there!

and myself and 10 other folks that i'm meeting up with there.
Spiacente, amici. Non ha potuto trovare il filetto. Abbiamo bisogno di una caratteristica di ricerca.
I saw them perform at the sneak preview of "Once" and the Frames show is my fav of the year so far. I didn't see Glen and Marketa at IOTA, so I'm psyched for this one.

I somehow managed to like the movie, but hate the music. I guess I'm a sucker for scruffy underdog love stories, but the music was way too Coldplay-esque for my palate. So I won't be there!

my girlfriend loved this movie and we'll be there
I'll be there. The IOTA show in October was amazing, I'm hoping this one will be similar. Meaning that I wouldn't mind some solo Frames material in the mix. :)
I still haven't seen Once, mainly because I'd have to travel a bit, but I'm hoping to catch it soon. I really would have liked to have made that special screening with Glen and Marketa, but alas, I had a commitment that evening.

Is there any truth to the rumor that Glen and Marketa are romantically linked? A friend told me this and there was a Page Six article about that, but I know that is all rumor.
Isn't she still a teenager and he's and old guy?
What I find the most hysterical was that he was a member of the Commitments.

It absolutely is true, and it grosses me out to the point where I can't even listen to the music anymore. They met when she was 13 and he was 31. She's now 19, and he's 37, but I find it incredibly hard to believe that they would wait until she was of age to get um…romantic :/ I used to love the Swell Season music, and I was so psyched to see Once and see them at the screening, but I can't even listen to them anymore.

Also, when was this screening and where?
I think the screening was in May at the movie theatre in Georgetown. After the movie screening, there was Q&A with Glen, Marketa, and the director. Then they performed a couple of songs.
Whether or not they have a thing going, I love the Swell Season album and Once, so I'm psyched for the show.

Irglova has known her co-star since she was 13. Every year a music festival has been held in June in her hometown. Six years ago, her parents threw a garden party for the visiting musicians, an Irish rock outfit called The Frames, headed by vocalist and guitarist Glen Hansard. "And that is when we met," recalls Irglova. "They had a gig and Glenn got me up for a song. I was terrified. I really, really didn't enjoy it, but, had I known that it was the beginning of something so amazing, I would have been a little more grateful."
Soon, with Hansard's encouragement and support, Irglova began writing and composing her own music. He was invited back to the Moravian countryside on a regular basis to relax and compose music. Irglova, a multi-instrumentalist, would accompany him on the piano. An ever-increasing number of gigs followed over the next several years. "Making an album as a document of that time was kind of natural."

Well, it violates my half my age plus even rule, but that's self imposed, so I can't haggle the guy over it. Whenever I see a female on stage with a bunch of guys in the band I assume she's slepping with one of the guys in the band anyway, so why should this be different?
**yawwwwwwwn**
i think i actually fell asleep at some point during this show … the cover of the pixies's "cactus" was the only thing that woke me up
it was like a big time Schlock Parade mash-up of Five for Fighting and Damien Rice
the crowd was bizarre in its plainness … i love stereotyping audiences (the morrissey wolf trap show was too easy with its reality-bites gen-x fighting-to-be-young-just-one-more-time set), but this one was notable in its unremarkableness … a lot of homely-looking late-20-something women and guys with short well-maintained haircuts, normal frame specs and well-worn polo shirts … definitely the slowest bar i've ever seen at a sold-out 930 club

i really liked the show. and i thought the crowd was varied age wise. probably half were in their 20's, but a good amount in 30's, 40's, 50's. older folks were probably folks who are indie film fans and bought the soundtrack.
but my lord, that drunk bitch who eventually got publicly shamed by glen. our area kept getting inundated with folks trying to escape her and her dipshit friends before she pushed her way to the front. i did like how people were trying to self police the talkers though and most folks actually obliged.

Simply perfect. I loved every minute of it. One of my favorite shows of the year. I'm really pleased NPR broadcast it, so I can presumably, hopefully download it later. I particularly enjoyed the Van Morrison cover ("Into the Mystic") and the aforementioned Pixies cover.
P.S. I couldn't care less about the audience or what they were wearing or how many drinks were being sold at the bar.
