saw them open for damien rice in montreal a few years back......was incredible.....it was glen's bday and they were balls out....i would have been content to leave after their performance, it was that good, but damo and company came out and did a great acoustic show.....
believe glen was dating lisa hannigan at the time...not sure if they still are....but that alone pretty much makes him a god....

i saw them in portland in april and it was a great show, but not rocking until the encore set, which was great! the crowd was lame, though.
two nights later in seattle was great! probably the best i've seen them and the crowd was really into it (could be because it as 21+ show).

They're gonna be over there very shortly. I don't understand the need for Swell Season shows, I mean he has Joe &Colm with him anyways, so why not get Johnny&Rob along & do it properly? spose they're playing to very different crowds now for the time being...the frames would probably scare off Once fans looking for a soft quiet night out..
