The Fray has developed a fan base in China, thanks to its hit songs featured in films like Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen and TV series like Scrubs and Grey's Anatomy. Now the US alternative rock band from Denver will reward those fans with its first China tour. Founded by two schoolmates, pianist Isaac Slade and guitarist Joe King, The Fray was later joined by drummer Ben Wysocki and guitarist Dave Welsh. The band is known for using piano as the lead instrument.
