The Fray Announce Shows in Ireland and the UK

Tuesday, May 15, 2007

The popular indie rock quartet from Denver, The Fray, have been soaring to new heights thanks to a hit single and album that are feeding a frenzy of flocks of new fans.



To the delight of a fast-growing fan base across the pond, the band has announced two concert dates in Ireland and the UK for later this year.


The first show will be October 23rd at the Royal Theatre, Castlebar, England. The following night, the band flies over to Ireland to rock the National Stadium in Dublin.

Tickets are now on sale for both performances. Special guest is none other than Peter Yorn.


The band has already sold a combined total of five million albums and singles in the U.S. just this year. Their hit single, "How To Save A Life" remained on the Billboard top ten charts for four weeks.



During that time, The Fray sold an estimated 150,000 units in the UK alone - in one month.

Fans overseas cannot seem to get enough of these guys.



Recent trips to the UK have gained the group even larger exposure, including plenty of airplay on the UK's largest and most influential music radio channel - Radio One.



But now fans will be able to see the band play in a rock arena setting.

But in the case of alternative rock icons Radiohead, the 2007-2008 releases of In Rainbows is being hailed as a masterpiece; some even say more so than the landmark releases of The Bends and OK Computer. This time around, Radiohead has drummed up their own multi-layered promotion, distribution and publicity machines thanks in large part to the band's revolutionary and bold move last fall to offer the new release - for a limited time - at a price determined by the consumer. While Radiohead was not the first to use the Internet this way - Ray Davies, the iconic singer-songwriter of The Kinks, gave away his latest CD Working Man's Cafe - for free this past summer. …
