The Frames

  

The Frames

The Frames is an Irish band based mainly in Dublin. As of late 2004, the band consists of Glen Hansard (vocals, guitar), Joe Doyle (bass guitar, vocals), Colm MacConIomaire (violin, keyboard and vocals) and Rob Bochnik (lead guitar). Various people played drums during 2004. On both versions of the album Fitzcarraldo the band went by the moniker "The Frames DC", to avoid confusion with a United States band.

They band has been in existence since 1990 and is a survivor of Dublin's prolific early 90s rock and roll scene. They have also been central to the development of the current crop of emerging Irish rock bands, including Turn, and have toured with other Irish artists as support, including Damien Rice and Bell X1.

The name The Frames reportedly arose from Hansard's habit, at a young age, of fixing the bicycles of many of his friends. The large number of bicycle frames lying around his house led neighbours to dub it the "house with the frames".
