#311 TRANSISTOR POSTER TV#
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.
New material arrived in 2005 with the band’s eighth full-length album “Don’t Tread on Me” followed by “Uplifter” in 2009, “Universal Pulse” in 2011, and “Stereolithic” in 2014.ĭuring 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. The band’s seventh album “Evolver” turned out to be their worst ever performing material in 2003, however went on to release a “Greatest Hits” compilation of hit singles to celebrate over 10 years as a group together. “Soundsystem” arrived in 1999 before the group switched to label Volcano Records for their sixth studio album “From Chaos”, which was issued in 2001. Subsequently the modern rockers released the album “Transistor” in 1997, a platinum selling release, which led to the the album “Live” cataloging 311’s live shows. 12 on the Billboard 200, helped by the singles “All Mixed Up” and “Down” eventually selling over three million copies in the U.S.ģ11’s 1996 was consumed by nonstop, relentless touring, which the band showed off with their live home video “Enlarged to Show Detail”. The band began honing their skills, performing in the local area before moving to Los Angeles, California and signing with Capricorn Records in 1991.ĭuring the 1990s, 311 released a string of albums including the well-received “Music” in 1992, “Grassroots” in 1993, and 1995’s eponymously-titled album, otherwise known as “The Blue Album”. That guitarist, Jim Watson, departed the group shortly after the band's conception and was replaced by Tim Mahoney.
#311 TRANSISTOR POSTER CODE#
Formed of vocalist/guitarist Nick Hexum, lead guitarist Jim Watson, bassist Aaron “P-Nut” Wills, and drummer Chad Sexton, the band derived their name from the Omaha Police Department’s code for indecent exposure after the band’s original guitarist was arrested for streaking.
