As the frontman of the dearly departed Dismemberment Plan, Travis
Morrison supplied the keyboard and the dance moves for the band’s
stellar, funked-up anthems. Their shows always morphed from
indie rock to sweaty dance party due in no small part to Morrison’s
ass-shaking encouragements. Morrison still has a knack for
engaging his audience, and his work with backing band Hellfighters is
just as groovy and danceable as it was back in the D-Plan days.
