3 Days to The Swell Season
May 2nd, 2008 | by Scott |My MTV series will return next Friday.
In the meantime, it is only 3 days until I get to go to KC and see my latest favorite band, The Swell Season.
For those not in the know, the Swell Season is Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova from the best movie of 2007 Once.
Here is some of their greatness. They just announced new tour dates through the fall, don’t miss them:
Lies:
Van Morrison’s Into the Mystic (Man, I hope they perform this):
Say It To Me Now:
And one of the greatest songs ever recorded “Falling Slowly”
I can’t wait.

I’m very jealous of your upcoming concert. The closest they will be to me is at the Austin City Limits Festival… which would be awesome, but it is pricey and a bigger time commitment than just a concert. Enjoy it!

They were just interviewed on NPR - If you go to NPR’s site at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90093038&sc=emaf, you can hear the interview again. I saw them in Portland on Monday and posted a review on my blog at http://isorski.blogspot.com/2008/04/concert-review-swell-season.html. Check it out!

I’m jealous, too. After seeing Once and subsequently downloading The Swell Season album, I’m a huge fan. Have you listened to the Frames much yet? I downloaded one of their albums when my emusic downloads refreshed and it was great.

Jenny, I would love to go ACL festival at some point, but it is pricey.
Isorski, thanks for the link and the review. You just whet my appetite for the show.
Matt, let us know how it is.
Matt W, I downloaded all of the Frames stuff. I especially like Fitzcaraldo.
