Check out DC resident DJ, Gavin Holland's rework of the Travis Morrison Hellfighters (lead singer from the Dismemberment Plan) track "Moneytown". The song has very David Byrne-esque feel to it. Pretty funky. Enjoy... Travis Morrison Hellfighters| Moneytown (Gavin Holland Remix)

Travis Morrison Hellfighters - Moneytown ( Gavin Holland Remix) [ mp3 SoundCloud] spacey trippy artpunk jam from Gavin Holland

Tommy Siegel of Jukebox The Ghost and Ryan Little of Tereu Tereu are good friends and decided to start a label. They called it Bad Friend Records, got it successfully Kickstarted , and they're well on their way to pressing their first 73 comprised some previously unreleased Travis Morrison solo tunes. Morrison spent years fronting the unforgettable The Dismemberment Plan . When it came time for him to go solo, he sought the help of some musicians and formed the Hellfighters to assist with the live shows. The new band started jiving on the road and eventually recorded the album All [...]

One of the fundamental goals of running a music blog is to introduce people to new music. The primary method of doing this is to highlight new releases, either via up and coming bands that show potential or tried-and-true musical mainstays that generally please the masses. Lost in this growing blogging race are the building blocks that got us to where we are, the albums that sounded like the hot new thing before the hot new thing was even a thing. So, in an effort to spotlight some artists or albums that might not have hit Hype Machine lately, Listen [...]

If his website is accurate, Travis Morrison, former frontman of the late, great Dismemberment Plan, has retired from the music scene. Whether this is permanent remains to be seen, but it's a loss that still gets me down. After all, how many people would name their band after a throwaway line from the Bill Murray classic Groundhog Day ? His solo material after the 'Plan disbanded wasn't exactly critically lauded. His debut solo disc Travistan received a whopping zero from the geniuses at Pitchfork, which effectively killed his career in the internet age. How ironic, [...]

HANK ALTOGETHER: It was a rough day for me when The Dismemberment Plan broke up. This one isn't as huge, but I'm disappointed nonetheless. Travis Morrison, former frontman of " The Plan " is one of the underlooked geniuses of indie rock. The Plan is my favorite band and will remain that way. They were doing things in a different way before there was a different way to do things in -- mixing samples with insanely musical punk tunes, bringing out the noise and knowing when to drop the melody as well. [...]

How on earth did this one pass me by? I was under the impression that following Pitchfork's 0.0 slaughter of Travis Morrison's Travistan that the guy would be about done musically. Such is the power of the 'fork that I had images of him now working for the Gap where he had the crap beat out of him on the first album. Now, I confess that I hold some affection for that album. I actually quite enjoy it. It's certainly not a great record, but nor is it the calamity that [...]
O kay, so there are even a few more records that I really liked (in varying degrees) from 2007. You should (as always) check these out as well. MP3 | Bishop Allen - Rain The Broken String MP3 | Erik Mongrain - Percusien-Fa Fates MP3 | Rogue Wave - Fantasies Asleep At Heaven's Gate MP3 | [...]

F ormer Dismemberment Plan frontman Travis Morrison's new album All Y'all (with backing band The Hellfighters in tow) starts off sounding downright Plan-ish but then (as expected) changes course and explodes into a fragments of a hundred different genres. Even though they made a few valid points, I'm not about to blast this record like Pitchfork did and give it a 4.5 out of 10. It is way better than that. I'm certainly not the only person that strongly disliked Travis Morrison's first solo effort Travistan , but I can rationalize [...]

At the head of a new band, Travis Morrison is set to release his follow-up to 2004's controversially smeared Travistan in August... and I think most will agree that this upcoming album is a definite step up from his last (however you felt about it). All Y'all has got stronger melodies, a clearer focus, and a number of tunes that welcomely recall T-Mo's previous band . Just try and tell me you don't get at least a little excited as soon as Morrison's familiar voice graces the jazz-fusion build-up of [...]
