No strangers to the UK live stage, The Fray were special guests to The Feeling last year and headlined a packed Shepherd's Bush Empire in March. 'How To Save A Life' is currently the UK's 4th biggest selling single of the year, with sales approaching 150,000 and 9 weeks in the Top Ten (five of those in the UK Top 5).
The eagerly awaited new single 'Over My Head (Cable Car)' has already been a massive stateside hit, being streamed more than 1 million times on My Space in one month. It was also Number 1 on US
i-Tunes for 8 consecutive weeks and is released here June 4th.
