IGN For Men: Looking over your album titles- Music, Transistor, Soundsystem-they all have to do with music. Nick Hexum: We've moved to LA to pursue the dream and get a record deal. IGN For Men: Why did y'all pack up and move from Omaha to LA? Did you suffer serious culture shock comin' from the Midwest to the sunny CA coastline? Nick Hexum: We usually get pizzas after the show.but that can kill you. IGN For Men: What's the collective band's favorite late nite snack.y'know, what food do you mack late at night to inspire creativity? Nick Hexum: The Simpsons, Stanley Kubrick, Robert Anton Wilson, Art Bell. IGN For Men: Can you cite some of your influences, specifically non-musical ones such as literature, cinema, theater, or art? I got a pretty rare HR record, Aswad and a bunch of stuff. I just bought some great old reggae albums in Santa Cruz yesterday at Streetside Records. SA Martinez: Most prized record is too tough. IGN For Men: What's your most prized record? SA Martinez: I don't endorse needles.shooting up is for losers. IGN For Men: And what kind of needles do you endorse? IGN For Men: This one's directed at SA, on the turntable action, do you rock the 1200's? They found out about it and sent us a cease & desist so we had to stop making them. We also tried to rip off their logo for a 311 t-shirt that said "311 - Music of Omaha" instead of Mutual of Omaha. IGN For Men: Growing up in Omaha, did you all watch Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom? What did you think of Marlon Perkin's always sittin' safely in the helicopter while making Jim do the dangerous animal wrestlin'? sat down with the guys from 311 and attempted to get the inside skinny on what makes them tick. But, as if that weren't enough, they've toured incessantly throughout the US and the world during the past six years, to boot. In a feat hitherto unheralded in the vaults of the modern day pop maelstrom, the band has managed to crank out a total of nine albums, numerous EPs, videos, and countless bootlegs since 1990 (their most recent, Soundsystem just hit the stores a few weeks ago).
Comprised of Nick Hexum, vox, guitars Tim Mahoney, guitars SA Martinez, vox, turntables Chad Sexton, drums P-Nut, bass 311 originally hails from the Midwestern epicenter of all things corn huskish: Omaha, Nebraska. Y'see, 311 is also the name of one of the hardest working, ultra popular sonic quintet's to grace today's music scene.
311 TRANSISTOR LIVE CODE
In law enforcement circles it's universally known as the code for indecent exposure, y'know, gettin' nekkid in public.īut if you happen to be under 30 and somewhat tapped into the popular music scene, then 311 takes on a whole new meaning, standing for something altogether different.
