We thought it prudent to let our faithful friends know that TLB has decided to scrap the last few months of writing for the new record. Furthermore, since Travis wasn't even "close" in his songwriting, we've demoted him and changed the name of the band to "Bieber"....mwahahahahaha!!

Just foolin'. Of course.

In truth, the new songs are shaping up rather nicely and the Travis Larson Band is happy to announce a July release date. The actual date has yet to be determined.

Last chance to catch the Soundmind tour set, this weekend at the Guitar Center Musician's Expo, where Travis and Jennifer will perform and geek out on gear. Yay!

Check out the tourdiaries page where you'll find the new Aristocrats tourdiary. Chock full of fun times with sick musicians.

May your month of April be sweetly foolish, but not filled with fools.

TLB is happily home from the NAMM show and a kickass run with the Aristocrats, where everyone but the drummers came down with Nammthrax. Recovery has been absurdly slow and it remains to be seen if the guitar and bass players will even survive.

Check out the NAMM tourdiary and experience the four-day adventure in less than four minutes. Or if you prefer to zap-cook yer Pop-Tarts, the NAMM gallery can be viewed in mere seconds. Coming soon, should we survive, the Aristocrats tourdiaries.

In case you hadn't heard, our very own Ms. Young is currently featured on the cover of Bass Musician Magazine! Blushingly accepting of her covergirl status, she has declined the swimsuit edition. Read the interview here.

So, there you have it. Travis Larson Band is headed into the cave, gearing up for writing, recording and releasing a new album. We won't be strangers and respectfully request ya keep the light on for us....

Happy New Year from TLB! Let us hope that 2013 is filled with inspiration, balance and chocolate-covered macadamia nuts. Nom, nom.

The NAMM show is just around the corner and Travis can almost taste the fluorocarbons as his excitement mounts. Meanwhile, the band is gearing up for our California run with all-around-good-guys and supergroup The Aristocrats, “a rowdy democracy of musicianship.” Best said by ELP, "Come and see the show!" Check the tourdates page for all the dirt.

We've recovered from the holiday-induced sugar coma and finally got busy adding the last two tours worth of Tour Diaries and Galleries. Yes, they're old-ish, but still just as fun. Speaking about old-ish and fun....

Ms. Young recently celebrated a milestone birthday but claims "I'm not 40, I'm eighteen with 22 years experience." Then said, "Does that add up right?" Check out her magnanimous birthday video on the Travis Larson Band Facebook page. If you are not a Facebook user, rock on.

You may have noticed that the band's tourdates page is a little on the light side and that can only mean one thing: a new Travis Larson Band record. That's all we're sayin'.

Hope to see you all soon.
