At the time i already was a big Oasis fan, and i thought Travis were just OK, the only thing i knew about the band was "the guy wearing the kilt on a video" or something like that. Well, my teacher really convinced me about listening to them and that they will become one of my favorite bands. He was right. …and some other britpop songs, then it was turn of Driftwood, he stopped there and started asking us what kind of feeling the song was try to transmit from our point of view, etc,etc. Eventually he just started talking about Travis, how much he liked them and how good they were live.

Im from Mexico and the english teachers at my school used to be either American or from the UK (in order to learn the language a little bit easier and better too). It was 2000, we had this English Literature teacher from Scotland, really cool guy; I cant remember exactly what was the class about that day but he brought a recorder and a CD. He started playing, Don't Look Back in Anger, something quite similar happened to me, but instead of REM it was Travis.

And you said that on november 16th,2008, in a south american country called Venezuela. I was on the front line singing every single song, shouting, expressing all my love to the band and experimenting a surrealist sensation: Travis in my home country, Venezuela, I cant beleive it. It was one of the most pleasure musical sensations i ever had: seeing one`s of my favourites band, Travis. I hope you come as soon as possible to Venezuela, we will be waiting for you guys Your sincerely Douglas Lozada Deasr Fran:

But Bill Berry and Mike Mills did grow up in Macon, GA so they did have that music scene and town environment influence. I think everyone remembers the first song you heard by them. No one sounds like R.E.M and no one every will. But R.E.M. has endorsed another Athens band, Modern Skirts. Check them out, they are just getting started in how awesome they can be. Nice guys too.

I got it as a birthday present and although I pretty much was into R.E.M. then, I didn't know they can be THAT good! World Leader Pretend is just a perfectly mind-blowing song... always gives me the creeps and live it is even better with Stipe's chair "choreography". Green’s the best piece of art R.E.M. ever did.
