Other Voices in NYC

Two pre-Halloween bashes will introduce Ireland's unique music show to America.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 07 Sep 2011

Glen Hansard is just one of the fine musical talents heading across the Atlantic in late October to bring Other Voices to New York. Two shows will take place in Le Poisson Rouge on October 27 and 28, a brace of celebrations of music and literature that is set to feature some sterling performances.

Included in the line-up are the likes of experimental artist Laurie Anderson, brothers Bryce and Aaron Dessner of The National and Kildare's own Bell X1. Mr. Hansard will be bringing his Swell Season with him.

Aside from all that musical goodness, their will be spoken word as well, with novelist Joseph O'Connor making an appearance and the presence of the Fighting Words Creative Writing Centre.

Here's that line-up in full:

"Like The Pogues gig on the other side of Xmas, The Frames at Vicar Street on New Year’s Eve is now a fixture of the season and quite the place to be."

Fancy yourself a bit of an artist? Well the Frames are looking for a creative soul to dream up their next t-shirt design – with lots of prizes for the winner.

2007-03-28

There was much celebrating in the Hansard household this weekend as the independent Irish movie that Frames mainman Glen stars in, Once, picked up the ‘World Cinema Audience Award’ at the Sundance Film Festival.

2007-01-18

The Frames have cancelled their concert which was due to take place at the National Stadium, Dublin on 23 December.

2006-12-18

I may be wrong but this seemed to be a year when, despite a new album, Frames hysteria cooled somewhat. ‘Sad Songs’ is another okay single – sincere in the extreme, just not particularly exciting or memorable. Time for a rethink maybe.

2006-12-15

Well, technically speaking, their New Year's Eve gig at Vicar St will be their first of 2007...

2006-12-11

There are no saints in love. That’s a lesson The Frames’ mainman Glen Hansard learned the hard way – and which he articulates in the bittersweet love songs that make up much of the band’s new album The Cost. Hot Press hits the road with the band for an extended interview, conducted in radio studios, backstage areas, tour buses – and one very dedicated fan’s house.

Dublin’s newly-opened Gallery Number One was the venue last Sunday as The Frames played an acoustic gig to celebrate the publication of Zoran Orlic and Janine Schaults’ photo-book on them, Behind The Glass. View the photo gallery here!

Believers view Hansard & Co’s brew of emotive folk-tinged rock as a shining example of durability and authenticity in image-obsessed days. Atheists see it as the grim apotheosis of the strain of phoney singer-songwriting that was especially virulent in Dublin at the latter part of the last decade. Agnostics remain largely unmoved. The Cost, it has to be said, is not a record that will inspire many cross-camp defections.

2006-09-18

The lead single from The Frames’ soon to be released seventh album The Cost is a double A-sided affair which will easily keep their faithful happy and might even win them a few new fans. ’Falling Slowly’ starts gently before building to a gorgeously anthemic, sing-along chorus and soaring finale. ‘No More I love Yous’ sees the band using the traditional quiet/loud formula but with their own twist, while Glen’s singing has never sounded as heartfelt and passionate.

2006-09-05

In addition to releasing a new album next month, The Frames are to be the subject of a photo-book.

2006-08-01

Hotpress.com is delighted and, indeed, honoured to bring you this first peek at the digipack artwork for the new Frames single

There’s a cracking ensemble of talent heading to Norn Iron for this year’s City of Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival.

2006-04-04

Not since Dylan went electric has such debate raged over artistic choice. The revolt has begun. Walk outs, heckling and cries of “worst Frames gig ever” marred the first and the last nights of The Frames' three sell-out gigs at Vicar St. So irked was Glen Hansard by fans’ calls for ‘Revelate’ and ‘Star Star’ that, at one stage, he angrily announced, “How about you be the audience and we’ll be the band. Okay?” This wasn’t the happy Frames of past.
