311 Biography |
 |
|
|
With little or no respect from the rock media, 311 stormed out of Nebraska with its self-proclaimed "Omaha style"--a mix of Red Hot Chili Peppers -style funk, metallic thrash, alternative-rock anthems, fluid rapping and Grateful Dead -inspired space jamming--and the group slowly but surely built a rabid, devoted following for its diverse recordings and high-energy live shows. 311 has its roots in another band formed by key players Nick Hexum (vocals, guitar) and Chad Sexton (drums) in the late '80s.
The two made their first stab at the big time when they moved to L.A. and tried to land a deal with a band called Unity, but it was too much too soon, and they returned to Omaha broke and beaten. They regrouped with bassist P-Nut (Aaron Charles Wills), guitarist Tim Mahoney (who replaced Jimi Watson) and rapper/scratcher S.A. (Doug Martinez) and played their first show as 311 in 1990 opening for Fugazi ; the name is Omaha police code for indecent exposure, and it came from a skinny-dipping incident involving Watson.
311 scored major MTV and alternative radio hits with "Down" and "All Mixed Up," enabling the group to explore a more expansive sound on the follow-up albums Transistor and Soundsystem, and ensuring that its cult will continue to grow. In 2001, 311 emerged with the aptly titled From Chaos on a new label, Volcano. The album proved that there was still plenty of interest in the band--it debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 and eventually spawned the easy-going crossover hit "Amber."
