Hey all, Sorry about the delay with the round up for last week..Will not waste time and let you get on with all the fun stuff we have here. We've got ONLY video footages for this one so it will take a bit of a time to watch them all, but promise that every single one of them will be worth it...

Loved seeing "Once" several times in the Spring while working my job in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania's Ramada as night auditor . . . then seeing you play in concert on t.v. in the summer. As much as I love seeing/hearing you on the big screen, we've simply "got to stop meeting like this!" Pennsylvania is sorely in need of your beautiful sound . . . but are the diehard stubborn Keystone state residents ABLE to open their hearts? (If you're up to the challenge, come on down!)

We are happy to announce that there will be a very intimate acoustic show by Glen and Mar in London on the 15th of January, a day after the full band show in the Sheperds Bush Empire. The gig takes place in St. James's Church, Picadilly and the tickets are on sale now here...

Hi all, We have twins today!..okay, they are not really twins, more like two sisters. They have many things in common: they are both for the two upcoming gigs in L.A., from the same designer house, with similar themes and they are stunning...

Your first show in LA was amazing, even from the top rows of the balcony. Thanks so much! Good luck with the rest of the tour! Jason Segel was a hoot!

Can't believe that you all sang a Tim Buckley song. Glen, you weren't even born when that was first recorded. It brought back some lovely memories tho... oh, to be young again.

Thank you; you're all brilliant! Special thanks for "busking", the awesome closing #, for playing my favorite Frames song, and for being so gracious when some people yelled random things at you. Glad the boys were there - always wonderful to see them play. On to the next show... Cheers

Hi all. Apologies to all those fans who stayed up late yesterday to watch The Swell Season perform on Craig Ferguson. Unfortunately one of the interviews went on a bit longer and the channel couldn't fit the musical performance into the program. CBS, Craig and his team have been great with sorting out a new airing date... to make sure that you all get to see the band on the show. As soon as we have the date and the time we will let you know. Till then we hope you'll enjoy this video from the Philly gig.xxxRead More

Yes think about New Zealand-You could slip a wee trip to Dunedin NZ between Melb and Adelaide concerts. Direct flights Melb to Dunedin only 3hrs!! Please!

We have fab water bottles and scraves too at the gigs guys (see below).They are available at the merch booth each night on tour (very limited quantities!) and they are escaping our stock very quickly...so, if you 'fell in love' with them then make sure to grab one - or two:o) - at the next gig...

Well life isn't always fair. If you aren't willing to put in the travel, don't bitch. Do you know how many cities musicians would have to go to just to make everyone happy? I side with Bonnie, grow up and be thankful for the music.
