Slade, lead singer for The Fray, spoke with Colorado Community Media before the show to talk the band's history, music and coming to Castle Rock. Castle Rock wasn't one stop on a long list of other tour locations. The Fray isn't on tour or working on new music. Slade said on that front, the band is taking a hiatus, and they've fulfilled a five-record deal with Epic Records.
Although it was their first performance in Castle Rock, Slade is no stranger to town. I love the juxtaposition. It first formed as friends jamming in parents' basements in the summer of Slade and bandmate King went to high school together but reconnected in college. They struck up a conversation — both were in school but writing music — and agreed to play together for fun. With the addition of two more bandmates along with some early turnover in membership, the group has since amassed Grammy nominations, Billboard Music Awards and chart-topping songs worldwide.
When going to see The Fray in concert, Slade said people can be comfortable embracing their emotions, positive or negative, and whatever is going on in their life. To some fans, the shows are dance parties. To others, they're a place to come after a breakup, or to shed a tear.
Slade said he appreciates both atmospheres — a south Miami show filled with dancing or a quiet coffee shop setting. When choosing which songs to put on a record, Slade said the band has refined its process and learned to trust each other. It's actually a sign that something is not quite true to who we are. Although each member of the group finds inspiration to write music from different sources, for Slade, it's about the balance in life — understanding that people go through good and bad experiences, often at the same time, he said.
Slade wants fans to remember that the world isn't all one or the other. Whether someone is fighting for a marriage, forging a career or questioning his or her religion, Slade wants to share music that speaks to them. We have noticed you are using an ad blocking plugin in your browser.
