The Frames cancel all SXSW appearances

One of the first bands we reported would be playing this year’s SXSW festival, The Frames, has cancelled their numerous day shows and evening showcase.

Lead singer Glen Hansard is the lead actor in an independent film called Once and apparently the film’s success at the Sundance Film Festival requires that he go into the studio to finish up some songs for the film’s soundtrack thus the reason for the SXSW cancellation.

Here is a trailer for the film.
