About
311 recently performed at NPR's Tiny Desk concert, showcasing their iconic sound and bringing a wave of nostalgia to fans. With over 30 years in the industry, the band effortlessly performed four of their classic tracks, showcasing their musical prowess honed over decades of experience. Lead singer Nick Hexum felt right at home, reminiscing about their early days rehearsing in a basement.
Formed in 1988 in Omaha, Nebraska, 311 has made a significant mark on the rock scene. With hits like "Down" and "All Mixed Up" from their 1995 self-titled album, the band has amassed a dedicated following. Known for their unique blend of rock, reggae, hip-hop, and funk influences, 311's musical style is a testament to their versatility. The band has released multiple successful albums over the years, with their most recent being 2019's Voyager.
Fun fact: The band's name, 311, stems from a police code for indecent exposure in Omaha, where a friend of the band was arrested for skinny dipping in a public pool. This anecdote adds a quirky touch to the band's history and showcases their lighthearted approach to music.
