Going up in Charlestown, Indiana, frontman Travis Meeks had a musician father, named Gary who recorded with The Box Tops, fronted by Alex Chilton. Gary bonded with his son over their mutual love of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. However, despite their shared love of music, Travis had a very unstable upbringing that likely contributed to his volatile ...
You can’t really understand Travis Meeks without first knowing the story of his father. His father wasn’t a great role model. In fact, Travis’ later life would mirror that of his dad. At the age of 13, Gary Meeks would start playing guitar professionally. It was a local radio DJ who took notice of Gary. The DJ knew people in the music industry in M...
Gary would marry Travis’ mother but the couple split up by the time their son was just 2 years old. Gary would disappear for several years and wouldn’t reemerge in his son’s life until he was about 6 and finally sober. Around this time, Travis started living with his father. Travis struggled in school due to his psychotic episodes but it wasn’t unt...
The band would move to Louisville, Kentucky and play clubs in the city. They changed their sound to be more acoustic and added guitarist Todd Whitener. Meeks’ vocal style would see comparisons to both Alice in Chains’ frontman Layne Staley and The Doors’ Jim Morrison. The band also underwent a name change around this time to Days Of The New.
The band’s success brought about a lot of internal problems. During the tour to support their debut record, MTV was starting to report that following a cancelled show in Florida, the band members appeared physically injured with some of them sporting black eyes and bruises after an apparent brawl with each other. Some critics weren’t fans of the gr...
Ahead of the tour with Metallica, Meeks would lash out against his bandmates in the press and go on to say he would be firing them from the group. Label executives scrambled to brush off Meeks’ claims in the press, but by the end of 1998, the original lineup of the band was done. Following the dissolution of the group, Meeks posted a rambling messa...
While the band’s debut record was known for being fairly stripped down and acoustic, their sophomore record was much more bombastic, featuring a choir, orchestral arrangements, female vocals and even electronic percussion and a young female singer named Nicole Scherzinger, who paused her studies at Wright State University to work with Meeks. The fr...
Meeks stayed out of the news until 2011 when former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr was found dead in his home. Starr had been staying with Meeks and his wife and was found unresponsive in his bedroom. The cause of death was ruled an overdose. Meeks re-emerged in 2014 when it was announced he would be reuniting with the original lineup of Days O...
Every time I google for news about him I worry I'm going to find an obituary. Their debut album is so fucking good. "Shelf in the Room" is like one of my favorite songs ever. Travis is very gifted and I hope he can conquer his personal demons and get back to making music.
