Biography

Washington D.C., United States (1993 – 2003, 2011 – present)

The Dismemberment Plan is a rock band which formed in Washington D.C., United States on January 1, 1993, considered part of the and genres. Also known as D-Plan or The Plan, the name comes from a stray phrase uttered by the insurance salesman in the popular comedy Groundhog Day. The band members included Eric Axelson (bass), Jason Caddell (guitar), Joe Easley (drums) and Travis Morrison (vocals and guitar). Axelson, Caddell, Morrison and original drummer Steve Cummings formed the band after attending Lake Braddock Secondary School together in Burke, Virginia. Cummings left the band after the recording of the Plan’s debut album ! and was replaced by Easley, who had attended Woodson High School. That cemented the band’s lineup for the rest of its existence.

Band History:

Aside from a brief interlude in 1998 and 1999 when they were signed by Interscope Records, the band recorded for local label DeSoto Records. Their breakthrough album, Emergency & I, was actually created during their time at Interscope. However, they were dropped from the label shortly after its completion, and thus took it back with them to DeSoto, where it wound up being released. The EP for “The Ice of Boston” is the only item of theirs Interscope actually released during their tenure there.

Following the massive underground success of Emergency & I, the band received an even higher profile after being invited to open for the European leg of Pearl Jam’s 2000 tour. A co-headlining tour in 2002 with Death Cab for Cutie (cheekily called the “Death and Dismemberment Tour”) also worked well to raise both bands’ profiles and cross-pollinate their fanbases, as well as forge creative ties between several members.

    "Hi everyone! Travis here. We should have some exciting news about the album really soon." D-Plan just posted that to Facebook along with an OMD playlist by Travis. Brace yourselves.

    Yeah, it's a rather foreign concept to me too. I wasn't even expecting a lot of people to show up to my grad party, but they did, and then my relatives brought cards with money. 'Merica, I guess.

    Also Ilai, I've never actually heard anyone say "mazel tov" IRL before. The only people I've ever met that actually speak Hebrew are you, Nadav, Omri and the crew, and of course you're thousands of miles away. I do take it very seriously though, thanks! Might buy a guitar with some of my grad money actually.

    Boxer was phenomenal, but I'm sad to say I haven't heard anything else from them. And speaking of phenomenal, all cronyism aside, the new Bonjour Machines track is fantastic as well Ilai, might be my new favorite BM song. Also, one last personal thing to report, today was my last day of high school so I'll be joining y'all at the big boys' & girls' table soon.

    I've never gotten into The National, though I have been familiar with Exile Vilify from Portal 2 and that song kills me every time, so good. Where should I start? Also, Bonjour Machines have a new song out, if you all could check it out that would be super cool.
