Travis Larson Band -- Galleries

Winter 2007 / NAMM 2008 [74 images] We're "consolidating" here, for the sake of simplicity. A few shots of Travis at the Faultline Music Winter Recital smackin' the kids around a bit with his jedi chops, then TLB at the best-ever Christmas show with SIKO, smackin' those kids around a bit as well. Ah, yes, the winter NAMM show. Good clean fun this year, with moments captured from the Digi-booth performances, after-show parties, Doug Johns and Chris Ceja at Bass Bash, the booths, the guitars, the friends, the fun and the backside of Bill Murray. Continuing on we have Dale Moon at R.E.T., more Digitech performances, our beloved friends at Electro-Voice, more guitars, more booths, Carol Kaye, some hotel room jams, sad goodbyes and the huge white EV cabs coming to a show near you. Done.
Digi-Truck / Sam Ash Tour - November 2007 [73 images] We'll start it off with just a couple from the Central Coast Guitar Competition, where once again Travis was a part of deciding the fate of young and old shredders. Shown here with Doug Doppler and local faves Siko. Next up, the Southwest Digi-Tour. We kicked off the tour in Sin City with the Silly Seven of us having way too much fun to be called anything but silly. TLB, Dave Martone, Rikk Beatty and Digi-crue Paul and Tristan show off for the camera - probably not interesting for our Dear Viewer, but we really, really, really, really, really are enjoying... Hooker. We gotta go....
EV/Sam Ash Tour - 2007 [147 images] Oh boy, a hefty gallery weighing in at one-hundred-forty-seven images. You can do it... Documenting TLB's travels all the way from San Jose, CA to the Big Apple we've got it all. Plane rides, hotels, Sam Ash in-stores, gear, The Stormer, the Fusion Show's very own Randy Allar, more SA stores, Chimp Zombie's Ass-Gaskets, the Christmas Story House, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Wilbert's with Doug Johns, business centers, breakfasts, Manhattan's finest sights including Rupert G and the Hello Deli, more Sam Ash stores, Coney Island hot dogs, giveaways, Elves, more plane rides and more Doug Johns. Phew, out of breath...Enjoy dammit.
ROC Tour - Summer 2007 [53 images] Another slice of memory-pie from the last few months of TLB on the road. Here we have the Dale Moon clinic at Faultline Music, the amazing Tim and his home-grown version of the Frankenstein Guitar, our Equipment Handler Gino with his very own Frankenstein thingy, sand-sculpting phenom, the Berry wedding, "The Milk-Man" and Jason Nielsen, who by the way is the most freakin' awesome photographer EVER, check out his work and enjoy his shots from TLB at Lestat's. Lastly, TLB with HWM.
ROC/DIGI-TRUCK 2007 Northwest Tour [96 images] The DIGI-Gallery, featuring DIGI-pics of the DIGI-truck, DIGI-gigs, the DIGI-gang and whatever else sounds good with "DIGI" in front of it. Thanks to our DIGI-hosts Paul, Mark and Tristan for the good times. From San Jose to Seattle, other pics include the Mandolin Cafe, all of our dog friends and human friends, Northwest Guitars (the finest music store in the NW), the I-5 Blowout Extravaganza, KPSU Guitar Shop with Victrola, Millennium Music, the Moon Family Gathering and the final few days in the Bay Area. DIGI-rrific!
Dale Moon Clinic - March 2007 [45 images] This gallery features our very own Dale Moon's recent drum clinic at the Drum Circuit, San Luis Obispo, CA. With the room maxed out and a line out the door, store owners kept watch for the Fire Marshall while attendees studied and cheered our Moon Monster's master moves. Mmmmm....
ROC Tour - Winter 2007 [72 images] While yes, it is Winter Still, we thought we'd get the ball rolling with some tour shots from the last few shows. Pics include San Diego (where there's never a winter's day, except for the freakin' night we played there), Road Fun, our amazing bunch of friends in good ol' Sac town, Pleasanton and SB. Thanks to Paul H., Ed C., John V., Kirsten I., Mark K. for the excellent shots and for spreading the TLB love. A special thanks to Jason Nielsen for some of the most amazing photography - it ain't easy making this bunch look that good!
NAMM - January 2007 [103 images] The NAMM show. You've seen and heard it all before, but THIS year was exceptional. Four days of pure Rock 'n Roll mayhem that included non-stop booth fun with TLB, an unforgettable (by most, not Jen) House Of Blues show and some good hang-time. Pics include booth shots, show shots, our friends at EB/MusicMan, EV, Randall, Digitech, crew (without whom, by the way, this year's show would have SUCKED), gear, and LUPI. The best NAMM show yet.
ROC 2006 Northwest Tour and Stuff [120 images] Ahhh...the new Travis Larson Band record Rate Of Change has been out for a measley five weeks and already so much to tell...with pictures, of course. Please, vicariously enjoy as the TLB travels through the West, the Norhthwest, back West again, then home for the holidays. Shots include friends and fans, performances, one too many highway signs, dogs, the JPF Awards Ceremony, the Central Coast Guitar Competition, the MusicLab Guitar Clinic and whatever else wouldn't fit in the fridge.
Rate of Change Release Weekend [113 images] It was one helluva weekend as we celebrated the release of Rate Of Change with vigor, enthusiasm and Milanos. First off, the early morning radio show on KCSB with Phil Colaprete. Next, the guitar clinic at Faultline Music, and Ahhh, the CD release concert. Much fun was had by all as TLB tore down the joint. But really, what kind of a celebratory weekend would be complete without the opportunity to meet your biggest hero of all time??
Rate of Change Production [55 images] The official batch of production pictures from the upcoming release Rate Of Change, TLB's fourth studio record. We scrounged up what we could as picture-taking was not high on the priority list. Once again the silliness ensues during the album photo shoot while Jen risks spraining a thumb. Other stuffis includes getting the live gear up and running, mixdown, lots of crossed arms, headphones, thoughtful faces, smiling faces. And donuts.
BS Tour/NAMM - Winter 2006 [41 images] Well kiddies, the final gallery for the BS tours. Here you will find the usual silliness and gear shots from NAMM, including the new ElectroVoice cabs and MusicMan guitar Travis will be sportin' soon... more on that later. A few shots from the great Sac fans, Travis performing at the Faultline guitar clinic, Jen's b-day party at Hoovers and a bunch of other stuffis. Enjoy...
BS Tour - Fall 2005 [56 images] The fall 2005 gallery features some extra groovy shots of TLB in lovely San Diego, CA - thanks Louie! Also our thanks to the good Samaritan who spotted the softball-sized bubble in our tire somewhere on highway 101. Travis judges the 2005 Central Coast Guitar Competition, our boy Keith Perry wins 1st place! Shots of the Katrina Benefit concert, and TLB at the ultra-hip Thousand Oaks Borders, photos courtesy of Mark K.
BS Tour - Summer 2005 [45 images] Whoa, summer! So far, so good. These shots are NOT in chronological order, so too bad. Highlights: The carrot and satan trucks, July 4th houseparty, our Oregon/Washington tour, including some tourist shots of the Emerald City and Gig Harbor, Northwest Guitars - the COOLEST guitar shop- our buddy Greg and his babies Jesse and Bailey, our buds in Roseville, the Monterey Rock Festival, Jack London Square, The Ukiah Music Center, miscellaneous shots of Dale and... Jen on a Hog.
BS Tour - Spring 2005 [67 images] Yeeeesssss. This spring marks TLB's first-ever tattoo. Bill, YOU ROCK! And we have the pics to prove it... also the groovy Starship show, crew shots, lots of hair blowin' and the after-show meet & greet. Lestat's in SD -- an excellent venue, a couple studio shots from KCSB and a few from The Mercury Lounge -- yet another excellent venue.
BS Tour - Winter 2005 [66 images] This gallery has a ton of cool performance shots from the Tsunami Benefit Concert, TLB's first trip to the snow in Tahoe, including documentation of chain installation. Some random out-the-window stuff and a show at Pleasanton Brewery. Not necessarily in that order.
NAMM - January 2005 [40 images] Okay, this year's NAMM show was exceptional. First, some shots of the TLB/SMB/Dregs show at Ventura Theatre. TLB performs at the EV booth all four days, Timmons- our best buddy, the spacious hotel room (had a freaking dish-washer). More booth pics, LUPI, the Ernie Ball crew, and finally the Guitar World 25th anniversary show with BLS and TLB gettin' their silly on. Oh, and one hot tub pic. Tee-hee.
JPF Awards - November 2004 [13 images] The JPF Music Awards has grown to become the largest Music Awards program in the world and is becoming touted as the 'Independent Grammys'. For the 2004 Awards JPF received 140,000 songs and over 10,000 albums in 58 genres from 85 Countries. The sole criteria for judges is "Does it move you?" Well, the proof is in the pics, that TLB MOVED 'em with sweep of the Instrumental Rock category.
BS Tour - Fall 2004 [48 images] Some cool shots of the Burn Season CD release concert in September of 2004, along with our raffle winners and the aftershow meet and greet. Thank you to Bill for the shots of a few Borders shows... Our camera seemed to have gotten left at home for most of the fall tours...
Burn Season Production [45 images] Welcome again to Avalon Recording Studio. Some silliness ensues as we work tirelessly on the new ProTools rig. We included some unused, but-in-the-running shots for the album art, shots of Trav and Luke at the Steakhouse Studio in Hollywood, Kip Stork our knucklehead engineer who ALWAYS seems to close his eyes in pics, and miscellaneous drum mic configurations.
Shows [106 images] The SHOWS gallery is a collection of different shows throughout the years, that frankly we just didn't want to organize because we'd be better off spending that time writing music for our lovely, wonderful, most understanding fans. However, some highlights include CD releases, Jeff Berlin, Elvin Bishop, Drum Expo, Ted Nugent, Trey Gunn, Musician's Institute, Gary Hoey, Bill Bruford, Adrian Legg
1998 Recording Travis Larson Band S/T [14 image] Ahhh, the first record. Those were the days... when we didn't have such a thing as COLOR film. And what the hickey is FILM? Only a few pictures from these sessions, at Avalon Recording Studio.
Travis Larson Band - Promo Shots [5 images] Promo pics from the different albums and such...
Backstage [25 images] The BACKSTAGE gallery is self-explanatory, don't you think? But here's the rundown anyhow: Geddy Lee, Danny Gottlieb, Vinnie Moore, Blues Saraceno, Phil Chen, Sterling Ball, Steve Lukather, Albert Lee, Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, Jeff Campitelli, Joan Jett, Victor Wooten, Simon Phillips, Ted Nugent, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, Rod Morgenstein, Steve Morse. We've seen some very cool shows.
Stuff [55 images] This gallery is sort of a placeholder for stuff we couldn't seem to fit anywhere else. Where do you put the Fabio and Carradine shots? Also some old NAMM stuff, fans, dogs, friends, relatives, roadies, The Boy and other stuffis. Highlights include the kick drum head we used for a window when the van was vandalized in OAKLAND and Dale posing in the legendary Sabian Cymbal Vault.
