Travis is in the first week of its opening spot on Oasis' North American tour, and the band is already drawing rave reviews for its sets, which have drawn heavily from the group's second album, "The Man Who," released in the U.S. last week.

Stateside Travis fans might be surprised to see a new face sitting behind the drumkit for the recent American shows in place of band drummer Neil Primrose.

According to Travis frontman Fran Healy, the newcomer is an 18-year-old named Bo Walsh, a drummer the group tapped once Primrose realized he had to bypass this round of touring in order to stay at home with his pregnant wife.

The day before Travis kicked off its tour with Oasis, Healy talked with MTV News about how the band stumbled across the teenage drummer during a show in Dublin, Ireland last December.

"Well, we were on tour in December 1999," Healy explained, Healy continued,

Oasis and Travis will play The Joint in Las Vegas on April 11, followed by a show at the Auditorium Theatre in Denver on April 13.
