The Frames

小簡介
The Frames是一支根基主要在都柏林的愛爾蘭獨立樂隊，成軍于1990年,目前樂隊已經(jīng)發(fā)行了6張專輯及不少的音樂MV.樂隊也是1990年代早期都柏林地區(qū)搖滾人才輩出時現(xiàn)在僅幸存的樂隊之一，他們和Turn樂隊一起，被看做是愛爾蘭搖滾的中堅力量。
樂隊前貝司手John Carney 現(xiàn)在是位電影導演,并在2006年導演了獲獎電影once,電影中樂隊的主唱兼吉他手glen hasard出演了主演,電影中絕大部分歌曲也全出自他手.THE FRAMES名字的由來要和glen hansard很年輕的時候說起，當時glen 經(jīng)常幫助朋友們修理自行車，所一家里放著很多破自行車的構架（frame）,2001年的一次采訪中， glen 說：“當時我確實曾經(jīng)短暫的工作在一家自行車商店，但是樂隊名字的主要是由于我家的后花園擺滿了破自行車和構架，有的路人發(fā)現(xiàn)堆的那么高的破自行車后，就把自己的破自行車也仍進來了，我家因為這個而出名?！边@大概就是the frames樂隊名稱的由來吧。
樂隊這些年來有過許多成員，其中些成員包括前成員同時也是其他一些都柏林搖滾樂隊的成員。如Colm Mac Con Iomaire和Dave Odlum是民謠樂隊 Kíla的成員。樂隊也與其他一些樂隊關系緊密。都柏林是glen 開始音樂生涯的地方，2001年當 Kíla樂隊的成員Mic Christopher去世時，glen 和他的樂隊組織了場名為Skylarkin的演唱會來紀念Mic Christopher。(Skylarkin為Mic Christopher很出名的一首歌曲).

The Frames (formed 1990) is an Irish band based primarily in Dublin. As of late 2004, the band consists of Glen Hansard (vocals,
guitar), Joe Doyle (bass guitar, vocals), Colm MacConIomaire (violin, keyboard and vocals), Rob Bochnik (lead guitar), and Johnny
Boyle (drums). On both versions of the album "Fitzcarraldo" the band went by the moniker "The Frames DC", to avoid being mistaken
with a United States band of the same name.
The Frames have been together since 1990 and are a survivor of Dublin's prolific early 90's rock and roll scene. They have also
been essential in the development of the current crop of emerging Irish rock bands, such as Turn. The Frames have toured with
various other Irish artists, including Damien Rice and Bell X1. In December 2004, Hansard appeared on stage in a collaboration
with singer songwriter Paddy Casey.
The name The Frames reportedly arose from Hansard's habit, at a young age, of fixing the bicycles of many of his friends. The
large number of bicycle frames lying around his house led neighbours to dub it the "house with the frames".
Their new, 6th studio album, The Cost, is available in Ireland since 22 September 2006 and worldwide since 20 February 2007.
Lead singer Hansard recently collaborated with Czech musician Markéta Irglová, which led to the solo album "The Swell Season".
Glen and Markéta also star and perform in the John Carney movie Once . The movie received several awards
including the World Cinema Audience Award - Dramatic at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival as well as an Oscar for best Song for the
track "Falling Slowly".
