7 pm,
The Swell Season and Doveman at 9:30 Club
A left-field hit attached to another left-field hit, The Swell Season is the soft-spoken duo made up of Irishman Glen Hansard and his considerably younger, Czech-born ex-girlfriend, Markéta Irglová, both of whom also starred in the low-budget Irish film Once. Now with the release of Strict Joy, The Swell Season will attempt to go from movie band to feel-good one-hit wonder to full-fledged franchise. Perhaps recognizing the limitations of a boy-girl duo, Hansard invited his other band, The Frames, to back him and Irglová in the studio and help expand their sound.
