The Frames are from Dublin, Ireland. They must really love touring, as they've released two live albums, and according to the guitarist's Rob Bochnik, he's been recording all their live shows using a AKG C60 Microphone. Plus, they really love their encores. For the encore in Minneapolis (4/17/2007), they had four songs! And I think they do that four-song-encore everynight for this tour, which consists of a violin solo, a guitar/violin duet, and two full band songs. When I say full band, I mean they have a pretty full band: two guitarists, a bassist, a keyboardist, a violinist, and a drummer.
So I'm putting up this live track from Seattle, Washington. I liked this song, "Revelate" - the "album art" is a concert photo in Minneapolis, that I took with my camera from last night. That background singing is not the audience, I think it was an audio put in by the controller, but it sounded like the audience is singing along.
I'm also going to include their banter about this dog, they called Deefer ("D for Dog"), which I thought was pretty funny off their "Set List" live album. This is the kind of long banters that I like at concerts, you know those three plus minutes of the band talking and telling jokes.

hey Vu!
great to "meet" you again last night ;)nice pick of songs to share! i yelled for Revelate a couple times to no avail ;).
glad you enjoyed them. as much as i do like their records, their live show is in another league altogether.
and yeah, that D for Dog story (among many others of Glen's are hilarious). he tells different stories about the same songs all the time, it's great.
check out the acoustic set he did on the Current yesterday, along w/ a killer cover of Van the Man's "Astral Weeks"
