TRAVIS' STORY

   
 
Travis wan born on November 12, 1975 and grew up in Fontana, California. He started playing drums at 3, but didn’t get serious until about 12 and had the same drum kit until about 15. Travis joined the band after the sudden departure of Scott Raynor, just before the “Enema Of The State” record. (although the “Mutt” song was played by Scott on Enema.) Travis played in a band called “Feeble” before going to the “Aquabats” then finally on to “Blink”. His nickname with the Aquabats was ‘Travis Baron Von Tito’. His nickname with Blink is ‘Fuck Boy”…I guess that’s the risk you take when joining a punk band!! He has got around 40-50 tatoos including a giant Boombox on his stomach and he has the most piercings in the band. His tattooes were all done by John Sanchez for around $7000. He tried taking up Tattoo drawing because he got bored in high school and he is a huge fan of muscle cars and has a number of Catalacs. He runs a website, www.famousas.com and owns a store, ‘Famous Stars and Straps” which sells skateboards, clothes, pictures and heaps of other stuff.
