That was awesome. He’s a great vocalist. I am surprised that I’ve never, ever heard or nor seen him before, ever. Because there was a lot of people in that crowd. And they all knew him. I find it really amusing that the covers of that song show just how good the lyrics really are if they aren’t sung by say… Britney Spears.

Travis are fairly famous. They’re big single was Why Does It Always Rain On Me, or something to that effect. And yeah, the song sounds pretty sweet when it isn’t Spears singing it.
Toxic is the only good Britney Spears song. Man that song is awesome.

They have a bunch of great singles, mmmmm “All I wanna do is rock”, “Re-Offender”, “Love will come through”, “Sing”, blah blah blah. Yeah the cover was really great, I remember him in an interview talking about the song, saying how it’s totally brilliant lol. I never thought he’d actually cover it.

Hmph… I’ve not heard of a single one of those songs. In other words, it’s a band that hasn’t made any US impact at all.

Ben, you must be smoking crack because I’ve been listening to Travis for years. And I’ve known you for years, so I find it borderline impossible that you haven’t heard it or them.
But to get back on topic, yes, the cover of “Hit Me Baby” is awesome. You should check out Ted Leo’s cover of Kelly Clarkson’s “Since You Been Gone.” It is also excellent. He does this awesome segue into “Maps” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs towards the end.
