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.

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.
