311 band members
Nick Hexum, Doug "SA" Martinez, Aaron "P-Nut" Wills, Tim Mahoney, and Chad Sexton
The American rock band 311 was established in 1988 in Omaha, Nebraska, founded by vocalist Nick Hexum. After recruiting Chad Sexton, Aaron Wills, and Jim Watson to round out the lineup, 311 released an independently produced EP, Downstairs, featuring the song “Feels So Good.” Two more EPs followed: Unity and Damnit, and by the early 1990’s 311 was headlining shows in various local clubs, garnering local attention and establishing a following.
Eventually, 311 caught the attention of Capricorn Records, which signed the band in 1991. 311’s debut album, Music, arrived two years later. Music was moderately successful, as was the follow-up album (Grassroots), but 311’s biggest breakthrough came with their third album, a self-titled release which featured the song “Down.” “Down” began to receive heavy airplay on mainstream radio, eventually rising to the number one spot on the rock charts. The single “All Mixed Up” also fared well, eventually pushing the album 311 to multi-platinum status.
Since that time, 311 has released the albums: Transistor (1997), Soundsystem (1999), From Chaos (2001), Evolver (2003), Don’t Tread on Me (2005), Uplifter (2009), and Universal Pulse (2011.) The albums spawned the additional top twenty rock hits: “Transistor,” “Come Original,” “Flowing,” “You Wouldn’t Believe,” “I’ll Be Here Awhile,” “ Amber,” “Creatures,” “Love Song,” “Don’t Tread on Me,” “Hey You,” “It’s Alright,” and “Sunset in July.”
311 continues to perform and record. The band most recently released the album Stereolithic, featuring the songs “Five of Everything” and “Showdown.” 311 also released the live album 311 with the Unity Orchestra: Live from New Orleans, in 2014.
