![]() This year, 311 made a concerted effort to include secondary markets in the middle of the U.S. ![]() ![]() We’re excited about the next chapter - P-Nut included.” “And we’ve we’ve had some really good talks and discussions lately. “Everything feels pretty well on track,” says Hexum. 11 and 12) before heading south to Slightly Stoopid’s Closer to the Sun festival in Mexico in early December. Again, I think breaks are healthy, and we have had a fairly intense touring schedule” that has included 62 concerts so far in 2022 and continues with dates in Chicago (Oct. “And you know, we’re looking forward to the future. The band members have had “some really good conversations lately about getting getting back on track,” Hexum shares. Lastly, I hope 311 continues to play on cruise liners occasionally, and I have yet been able to travel out of state for 311 Day (JEALOUS NEW ORLEANS! lol, and Vegas).Rancid's Tim Armstrong Reunites With Operation Ivy Bandmate in Bad Optix I STRONGLY recommend anyone check them out at least once. Some of my favorites I remember well were 311 headlining, and the opening acts being The Roots, Snoop Dogg, KMK, Sublime w/ Rome, Pepper, The Offspring, Slightly Stoopid, and Cypress Hill to name my favorites/able to cognitively remember ) more than any other artist I have cared to see live. I know I have seen them approximately 10 times though, based off memories/ friends/ and T-shirts. Not to mention, being performed very well without "fake crap" or being offbeat. Since, I have seen 311 more times than I can count,or remember, due to getting older and varying levels of inebriation, heh, ranging from sober to blackout drunk/stoned, I always had a good time and enjoyed the music thoroughly. I still find that funny, like damn, the TV audience knows they are talented, but I have only seen a couple times where they REALLY were able to shine on TV like they did the first time I was blown away by their talent in concert. I have been to concerts beginning in 2004 with the Roots, at the time unknown to me, impressed me with their talent, and now they are on TV every night with Jimmy Fallon. Fortunately, unless a person truly cannot appreciate Rock/Alternative/Reggae/(some) Hip-Hop, I always get a "who the hell is this" and are inspired. Sadly, when I bring them up to someone that didn't listen to anything other than what was played on the radio in the 90's-00's, I feel like they missed out on some AMAZING concerts, and do not know who they are until I play "Champagne" or something of the likes. Don't get me wrong I like some newer songs from Don't Tread on Me - present day, which I do add to my playlist, and not to say I don't have favorites either, but what a hell of a band! Don't get me wrong, still one of my personal favorites, but I have to say in all honestly Music/Grassroots/311/Sound System/Transistor/From Chaos/and Evolver are still IMO their best albums with the ability to to be played from 0:00 on the first track to the end of the album without ever "wanting to get to the next good song" and just enjoying every single track. A bit out of order, I listed to From Chaos, and instantly fell in love with the band. Grassroots was so unique and different from what little I heard from 311 - "311" which is what I liked instantly I think, never the "same song" it seemed on any album. My first Album I listened to was Grassroots in 2000/2001 after a friend introduced me to the band with their self titled album with, at the time the only song I knew at all (Down) right before From Chaos was released. Not your typical "Rock" band is what I think I liked best, but a combination of MANY Genres. I couldn't truly appreciate the band for what they played and who they were until I was about 14, at which point, I started a new era of musical enjoyment. During the early 90's I don't think I could relate to the 311 very much tbh, as I was born in 1986, so until the late 90's, most of the lyrics would have went over my head anyway.
