The Fray Biography

The Fray started in spring, 2002.

Isaac Slade (vocals, piano, guitar), Benjamin Wysocki (drums) and David Welsh (lead guitar) were in a band together called Ember. They apparently 'sucked' so they broke up. Later in life Isaac and Joe King (guitar, vocals) ran into each other at a Guitar Center. Isaac and Joe were former schoolmates but never really talked, Joe was the 'jock' and Isaac was the 'nerd'.

Soon after running into each other, they became a two man band and started writing and instrumenting songs together.
Joe added Zach Johnson on drums and Caleb Slade (Isaacs younger brother) on bass. A while later, Zach left the band to attend an acting school in New York. Joe and Isaac talk it over and decided to 'kick Caleb out' of the band because he wasn't really helping the band move forward, resulting a rift in Isaac and Calebs relationship. Isaac then wrote Over My Head (Cable Car) which is about Caleb [Read more about this on the 'Song Facts' page.] Dan Battenhouse took Calebs place as bass.
Ben Wysocki, a former band mate of Isaac/Dave , then became the drummer for The Fray. Later, Dave Welsh, who was another former band mate of Isaac/ Ben, joined as lead guitarist completing the official line-up for the band. Soon after they started playing shows in the Denver area.

Their popularity grew quickly and their first demo recordings became local radio faves and the band was voted Best New Band by Denver's Westword Magazine. Over My Head (Cable Car) became KTCLs top 30 most played song of 2004 in just 4 months making it the bands first hit single.
December 17th, 2004 while playing at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, Colorado, The Fray signed the dotted line and signed onto Epic Records.

Jimmy Stofer took Dan Battenhouse's place as bassist. In March, 2007 Jimmy left to let another bassist experience The Fray, Dan Lavery took the spot. In March, 2009 Jeremy McCoy became the new bassist.
Jeffery Linsenmaier plays an assortment of instruments for the band.

The Frays name was picked from a suggestion bowl from Caleb Slades, Isaacs little brothers, graduation party.

They liked the name and stuck with it. The 'deep' meaning to the name is about 'the battle of the everyday life.'
