live wongie: the swell season (aka glen hansard / marketa irglova from ONCE) - live from the artists den

they're baaack! yes, my favorite couple glen hansard & marketa irglova, aka the swell season, are back on the wongie blip as they release a live dvd from the stages of the good shepard center chapel in seattle.

titled, the swell season: live from the artists den, the dvd concert not only includes some wonderful tunes taken off of both the swell season and once soundtrack, but also 30 extra minutes of footage not broadcast on the original ovation tv broadcast "live from the artists den".

also featuring two of glen's bandmembers from the frames, check out two of the performances below:

the swell season - falling slowly (live @ the artists den) [link 2]
[i've heard this a million times and i still sing along like a fool. sigh. plus, i love glen's intro to the venue.]


the swell season - lies (live @ the artists den) [link 2]
[love this song and can't wait to see the rest of this live show!]

dvd is released april 15

Yeah I didn't know about this either! I caught The Swell Season last night in Portland and they were fantastic. Posted a review at http://isorski.blogspot.com/ - check it out.

Yah their incredible.
Saw them in ABQ a couple weeks ago.
One of the best shows I've seen in quite a while,
Especially cause Sam Beam opened.
2 hours of Sam...then 2 1/2 hours of Glen, Marketa & The Frames...can't beat that!
