ALTERNATIVE indie-rock quintet Frazer are to support chart-toppers Busted at their September gig at Scarborough Open Air Theatre.

The band, who hail from the suburbs of Sheffield and Barnsley, released their debut EP Two Hands back in May and have recently signed for NUA Entertainment.

With a string of gigs behind them from London to Sheffield and everywhere in between, they are thrilled to be joining Busted on the bill in Scarborough on Friday, September 2.

Frazer lead singer and guitarist Ashley Clarke said: “When we got the news we'd been offered a support slot with Busted we were absolutely buzzing.

“I remember my earlier days in music when I used to listen to Busted all the time, they’re such a massive band that is known worldwide – how could we turn it down?

“We've recently been away working towards our album so haven't been doing too many gigs, but this will be our third time at Scarborough and its going to be bigger and better than ever.”

Ashley is joined by lead guitarist Harvey Fletcher, bassist Andrew "AJ" Battey, drummer Alex Owen and keyboard player Matt Marsh.

Setting themselves apart from being just your average indie-rock band, the boys are influenced by a wide variety of genres, creating a unique heavier sound with stomping riffs which is lapped up by their fans.

Formed back in 2011 Frazer have tirelessly performed, sometimes in intimate settings and sometimes in front of thousands, steadily building their reputation and receiving rave reviews in the process.

Promoters Cuffe and Taylor organise the concerts at Scarborough Open Air Theatre are delighted to have Frazer joining the line-up with Busted.

Director Peter Taylor said: “Frazer have a fantastic and unique sound which we’re sure fans of Busted will love.

“We’re also incredibly pleased to have a home grown Yorkshire band playing at Scarborough on the last concert of the season.

“This year’s concerts offer a truly outstanding line-up of live music that is unequalled in the area and we are sure that fans are going to pack out the venue.”
