蘇格蘭最有名的Travis樂隊

 Travis have amassed a number of hits in the United Kingdom, including "Driftwood", "Sing", "Turn", "Side", and "Why Does It Always Rain on Me?". They made headlines on both sides of the Atlantic in 2000 when performing a cover of Britney Spears' single "...Baby One More Time" live at the Glastonbury Festival. The song is featured as a B-side on their single "Turn" as they did with many other songs they recorded. In fact there are more B-side tracks than there are album tracks, up to the point that Travis usually issue two CDs for each single, each issue including different B-side tracks.
The band are particularly notable in that even at the height of their fame, much of the public were unaware of the band's members (many members of the public believed that Travis was the name of the lead singer), despite knowing many of their songs. This reflects the band's feeling that they are less important than their music, and was the rationale behind the naming of their third album, The Invisible Band. Even on the cover photograph the band is barely visible standing between high trees and bushes.
Travis在英國已經推出了多首流行歌曲，包括《Driftwood》、《Sing》、《Turn》、《Side》和《Why Does It Always Rain on Me?》。2000年，他們在Glastonbury音樂節上翻唱Britney Spears的《Baby One More Time》，在大西洋兩岸都成為報刊雜志的頭條。正如其他很多他們錄制的歌曲一樣，這首歌原本在其單曲《Turn》的唱片中被列為B-side作品（不太重要的作品）。實際上，Travis的B-side曲目比其打榜歌曲還要多。到目前位置，Travis通常會為每首單曲出版兩張唱片，而每張唱片中都包含不同的B-side曲目。
這個樂隊尤為著名的是，雖然他們享有很高的名氣，大部分的公眾也都了解他們的許多歌曲，但他們卻不清楚樂隊的成員（許多人都以為Travis是樂隊主場的名字）。這反映了樂隊的一種感覺――他們的音樂比起他們本身更為重要。這也成了他們第三張唱片取名依據――The Invisible Band。即使是在唱片封面照中，樂隊也在高大的樹木和灌木叢中若隱若現。
