i really can't wait to hear the album... hope it's as good as i'm expecting! i have this dream that u2 will ask them and damien to support them on their next tour, or at least in croke park in may. rumours are they've already asked snow patrol... so it would be an amazing irish line-up i think. anyway, i'm rambling... this is what happens when i have no messages to move or people to ban!

<TD> On the eve of the release of The Frames' album 'Burn The Maps', Glen Hansard will be dropping into studio for a chat with Dan (midnight on Thursday, September 16).


You can expect a live tune or too from Glen, and the usual after midnight banter. 'Burn The Maps' is The Frames' fifth studio album. The band will be embarking on a nationwide tour this month.

hey, can anyone tell me if the frames in vicar street on 1st October was an added date? i thought the 30th Sept was the last date? (no access to frames site to check).


Thanks [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

[looly]

Current Hot Press cover stars The Frames have added an extra date to their Vicar Street gigs, as tickets for the shows sell like hot cakes.

As well as their already confirmed Vicar Street gigs (September 20 and 30), and their one show in Belfast's Ulster Hall (September 28), The Frames have just confirmed that they will also do a Vicar Street show on October 1.
Ireland's favourite melancholic rockers are featured on the cover of the current issue of Hot Press, and their fifth studio album, Burn the Maps, gets reviewed following the huge success of their last offerings Set List and For the Birds.

i just got the album too, haven't listened yet tho... also got two wristbands for tonight and have an identical one left over from the damien rice instore gig. heh heh, now i can lord them over my 'friends' and force them to be nice to me. [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

[milky]

yeah me too banjaxed have mine left over from damien aswell and got my two this morning aswell!


dont think any1 was happy with having to buy the album in order to get the wristbands considering it was promoted that you didnt have to buy the album to get the wristbands!

[Daniel]

they saw you coming...

[milky]

pretty much dan

[looly]

They did the same with Mundy's album launch and with Damien's 'Lonely Soldier' launch. No wonder they all went straight to the top of the charts in the first week! Although when I said this to Damo he said he didn't realise that at all and that shouldn't have been the case.


Good marketing ploy me thinks. Probably by HMV.

[milky]

SUPPOSEDELY(SP) THE FRAMES ARE PLAYING IN TOWERE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

[Daniel]

if you can use the same wristband for insotre performances then it wasnt thought out enough.

[looly]

Listening to the new album right now! Not bad at all! [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]I have to say though, I'm reeeeeeeeally disappointed with the production on it. Especially since some of the engineers/producers that worked on it have really good reps. What happened? [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]Maybe it's just me.


Also, I noticed on the 'thank you' notes that all of Damo and gang were named except for Lisa...........wonder why [img]smileys/smiley24.gif[/img]

[milky]

lisa is mentioned further up in other musicians she sings on one of the tracks i think its sideways down

isnt it funny , production always seems to let the frames down...i havent heard the album yet, but i wouldnt be surprised if it suffered from the same flaws as before....i think the best way to hear the frames is live...i look forward to hearing the album though

[fran]

well if anyone has a spare wristband, i'd give it a very appreciative home?! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

p.s. they're are playing one rte 1 @ 2.45. LW 252
