Scout Bar presents Days of the New: Full Circle Reunion Tour 2014. With Pulse Rate Zero, Southbound 45.
By the late '90s, a whole new generation had missed out on experiencing the likes of Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Nirvana first-hand, so a new crop of similarly styled bands picked up the slack, including Days of the New.

Scout Bar presents Days of the New: Full Circle Reunion Tour 2014. With Pulse Rate Zero, Southbound 45.
By the late '90s, a whole new generation had missed out on experiencing the likes of Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Nirvana first-hand, so a new crop of similarly styled bands picked up the slack, including Days of the New.
Originally hailing from Charlestown, IN, before relocating to Louisville, KY, the group's leader from the get-go was singer/guitarist/songwriter Travis Meeks, who recruited friends Jesse Vest (bass), Matt Taul (drums), and Todd Whitener (guitar), who along with Meeks, were still teenagers at the time.
The group's largely acoustic-based sound instantly brought to mind Alice in Chains' more tranquil releases, as Meeks' vocal delivery and lyrics were quite comparable to both Layne Staley and Jim Morrison.
Days Of The New has performed with such acts as Aerosmith and Metallica. Travis Meeks and Days Of The New have appeared on the following soundtracks: Godzilla, Half Baked, The Crow, Varsity Blues, Heavy Metal 2000 (also produced), and Black Hawk Down.
Currently Travis has been writing and recording music, and touring.
Pulse Rate Zero's talented musicians have been playing in Texas bands for a number of years. Kevin Reed is former lead guitar player for The Hectic, Phil Larson is former bass player for Nocturnal Sun and One Shot One Kill, Chris Ashford is former drummer of Lavens Fate and 13 Passes, and Tony G is former lead vocals of Favor The Fallen and The Apostles. This is a hard rock band looking to take the music scene like a wild fire burning through a Texas drought.
Southbound 45 is a southern rock/Texas country music group that formed with a little bit of that "right place right time" magic. Vocalist Malissa Peek contributes her spitfire Country sound to lead guitarist Matt Gallegos and drummer Roland Orizaga's progressive/alternative rock cover band. Tim Corrigan and Derek Lann join as harmony/acoustic guitar and bass guitar, respectively.
