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

The Dismemberment Plan was an indie rock band which formed in Washington D.C., United States on January 1, 1993. 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.
