Swell Season Kaput
Good riddance. They totally creeped me out. Mostly Glen, the R. Kelly of the folk-rock world, but still. At least it sounds like Marketa can fill the need for more Girl-and-her-piano music now that Tori Amos is too crazy and/or self-absorbed to make anything decent.
Terrible band,
The Frames, too.

Well, I liked 'em. And wish I had gone to a few more of their shows, most recently the one at RHL but I couldn't afford it. I'm hoping the Frames' sound is how SS sounded when they played here. They sounded more like a band on this go around vice the duo tour they had after the movie, just Glen and Marketa.
I like them too. Saw them only once a few years ago at the Vfest at pimlico, but they were good. Cute couple. I think they no longer are a couple though. The Frames music and Swell Season is completely different from each other from what I heard ;D

aw rats! Should have known that Hansard wouldn't let the most successful thing he's ever done go away so easily.
