| Building Stonehenge - This Man can Move Anything |
 |
Wally Wallington has demonstrated that he can
lift a Stonehenge-sized pillar weighing
22,000 lbs and moved a barn over 300 ft. What
makes this so special is that he does it
using only himself, gravity, and his
incredible ingenuity.

Travis "Something Anything" released 15th
September 2008 through Red Telephone Box
http://www.travisonline.com
Having scored a No. 1 on the indie singles
chart with their limited edition EP J Smith,
Travis announce the release of a new single -
Something Anything - on Sept 15th.
Landing someplace between the breakthrough
stomp of Good Feeling and garage band
overdrive of All I Want To Do Is Rock, the
tough beat led grooves and guitar licks of
Something Anything are indicative of Travis's
forthcoming album Ode To J Smith -- the first
to be written on electric guitar since their
debut, and due for release in September on
Travis's own label Red Telephone Box.
Something Anything is available on 7", CD
single and as a download. Additional tracks
include Travis's cover of The Kinks classic
Lola and two new songs all unavailable
elsewhere.
Teaming up once more with Michael Baldwin --
who directed all the videos for The Boy With
No Name -- Travis take Andy Dunlop's driving
guitar riff as the centre piece for a video
that sees a 10ft tall Andy tearing into a
solo that leaves the rest of the band
suitably awestruck.
Travis have been showcasing songs from Ode To
J Smith at selective festival and club dates
across Europe and most recently the Far East.
A full UK tour has been lined up for the
autumn coinciding with the album's release.
Tickets are available from 9am on Friday,
August 1st through
http://www.gigsandtours.com
or the 24 hour CC line on 0871 2200 260.
Full tour dates as follows:
SEPTEMBER : 22nd, INVERNESS, Ironworks;
23rd, ABERDEEN, MUSIC HALL: 25TH, EDINBURGH,
Picture House; 28th, MANCHESTER, The Ritz;

Ode To J Smith is Travis's loudest, edgiest
and most arresting record since their debut.
Written in 5 weeks and recorded in just 14
days, it's the sound of a band re-born,
re-inspired and re-energised. Says bassist
Dougie Payne, "we wanted this record to have
some rough edges. In the past we might have
been guilty of making really beautiful things
that were so smooth you almost slipped off
them. You can't say that about this one. We
really pushed ourselves. It's like prog-pop;
lots happening in about three minutes".
