Travis Morrison Announces Retirement, Social Networking Aspirations

By Ani Vrabel on 3:00 PM on July 8, 2009

Google Travis Morrison these days, and the first thing that will pop up is a site simply titled "RETIRED." Yes, friends, according to the Web site of former the Dismemberment Plan frontman/solo artist, the man has taken himself out of the game. "No shows, no records, no bands," the page reads. "Just relaxing in Brooklyn. Befriend me on facebook. I'm so nice!"...  read more

Travis Morrison invites All Y'all to his winter tour

By Sara Miller on 1:40 PM on January 30, 2008

Bet Travis Morrison is sick of his name always being preceded or followed by the words "former Dismemberment Plan frontman." Unfortunately, that's what happens when you're part of the best band of the '90s (sorry, every other band). Morrison's second solo album (and his first with new band The Hellfighters), All Y'all, is still streaming on his website, long after last year's Aug. 21 release on Barsuk. After last April's D-Plan benefit reunion shows, Morrison quietly shoved All Y'all into the world with just a tiny East Coast tour behind it. He'll remedy the situation by cutting a wide swath...  read more

Travis Morrison and his Hellfighters tour East Coast

By Jeremy Goldmeier on 9:50 AM on November 13, 2007

Travis Morrison has an uncanny knack for affiliating himself with cool-sounding things. Okay, we admit Travistan was a misstep, but "Dismemberment Plan" and "Hellfighters?" Awesome. More than that, though: the man delivers the goods live. Morrison and his ragtag band of Hellfighters are hitting the road for a fall trek, so East Coast residents will have a chance to catch the Travisty of Morrison's live show. This just in: "Travisty" does not sound cool. Dates: November 15 - New York, N.Y. @ Knitting Factory 16 - Brooklyn, N.Y. @ Union Hall 17 - Cambridge, Mass. @ Middle East Upstairs 18...  read more

Stream Travis Morrison's All Y'all

By Rebecca Bowen on 12:00 AM on July 30, 2007

Former Dismemberment Plan front man Travis Morrison has served up a streaming plate of All Y’all on his soothingly-lavender/fuscia homepage, weeks before the new album's official Aug. 21 release on Barsuk. Mostly written in 2005, bits and pieces of All Y’all floated in the mystical, sad land of unsung songs while Morrison spent time in church choirs and volunteer organizations. Finally, in late 2006, he and the Hellfighters brought the tunes back to life in recording sessions with ex-Dismemberment Plan guitarist, Jason Caddell. No tour plans so far – just some hometown D.C. shows on Sept. 1 at IOTA...  read more
