The Swell Season



Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who starred in and created music for the brilliant film Once, were on KCRW yesterday morning with their band "The Swell Season." They won the oscar in 2006 for thei brilliant song (used in the film) Falling Slowly. They played live in the Morning Becomes Eclectic studio yesterday morning with songs from their next album "Strick Joy" which comes out a week from tomorrow. They're playing November live 18-19. Don't bother getting tickets though, it's sold out.

In the studio, they spoke about how they took their relationship from the movie further and accidentally went public with it. Glen thought it was sort of stupid that everyone cared so much, like the balloon story. I see why they cared though. They are SO cute together! And Marketa had a cold, but she still sang beautifully. She always does. =D
