the day the frames got finished copies of 'for the birds' ii

so it's the day the frames got finished copies of 'for the birds' and they play this amazing gig in simon's cafe on south great georges st. in dublin.
apart from heralding the arrival of the frames first self-released album this gig was also the first public appearance of the frames own diy merchandise - the white masks - initially made and designed by siobhan begley and inspired in part by glen's fixation with mexican death masks they made us to give away free with copies of the album bought at road records - just around the corner from simon's. glen gave away the whole supply of masks to the simon's audience and they've been a feature of frames gigs since. it's fitting that the most popular piece of frames merch ever can only be home made and was never for sale.

this excerpt from the gig features 'headlong' from 'for the birds' and someday more songs will go up here and elsewhere.

this footage is from a dvd that never was and now it's living free on the web. we're calling it 2001: a frames odyssey

@jetranger7803 Ahhhhhh but you must make it yourself. Only then will it be authentic! Read Scanarama's write up of this day to better understand.
