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 across America this winter, letting his "Freak" (as in "You Make Me Feel Like A...") flag fly in every region but the Northwest.

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 - Philadelphia, Pa. @ North Star Bar

December
7 - Carrboro, N.C. @ Local 506
8 - Atlanta, Ga. @ Drunken Unicorn
9 - Williamsburg, Va. @ College of William @ Mary

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 and Oct. 25 at the Rock and Roll Hotel.

All Y’all track list:
1. "I'm Not Supposed To Feel Like You (But)"
2. "As We Proceed"
3. "Catch Up"
4. "East Side of the River"
5. "I Do"
6. "Just Didn't Turn Me On"
7. "You Make Me Feel Like a Freak"
8. "Hawkins' Rock"
9. "Churchgoer"
10. "Book of Names"
11. "Saturday Night"
