311 was formed in 1990 in Omaha, Nebraska by five-spot self-described "friends for biography" (singer/guitarist Nick Hexum, singer S.A. Martinez, guitarist Tim Mahoney, drummer Chad Sexton and the bassist known entirely as P-Nut), whose common link was a heat for both music and life that finally brought them together to reach euphony with a positive message behind it. After gigging locally (and by all reports cursorily conquering the local music scene thither), the quintet touched to Los Angeles, where they sign-language with Capricorn Records in 1991.
Since that time, 311 stimulate released several albums, including 1992's Music, 1993's Grassroots, and 1995's 311 (aka the "Bluish" album), the latter reaching number 12 on the album chart, merchandising trine million copies world-wide, and dissipated the tracks "All Mixed Up" and "Down."
In 1996, following a nonstop year of touring, the band released Hypertrophied to Show Detail, a plate video of live performances taken from amphitheatre shows in Kansas City and Denver, as well under-the-table looks at life on the road. That the video has been certified atomic number 78 in gross revenue is strong testament to the unique kinship the circle has with its fans. In 1997, Electronic transistor, a forked album of new songs on ane CD, was released, and the grouping mounted its most ambitious tour of duty yet, a ecumenical extend of concerts intended to dilate the band's already large and patriotic fan qaeda. "When we first started the band, we were always sure something good was loss to encounter," says drummer Chad Sexton, "and we've never departed backwards in whatever way since." Live followed in 1998, and a class later, 311 returned with Soundsystem. The stripe jumped to Volcano for From Chaos, which appeared in summer 2001, and followed that with Evolver two age later. By straight off 311 had been together over ten-spot years, and they far-famed with a Greatest Hits comp. Released in July 2004, it included all of their hit singles, a few new tracks, and the band's gracefully-reggaeing cover of the Cure's "Erotic love Song," originally from the soundtrack to Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore's 50 First Dates. 311 came back with unexampled material in August 2005 with the Don't Tread on Me LP.
