311, an American rock band from Omaha, Nebraska, has carved a distinctive niche in the music world with their unique blend of rock, reggae, hip-hop, and funk. Formed in 1988, the band's lineup consists of Nick Hexum (vocals, guitar), Doug "SA" Martinez (vocals, turntables), Aaron "P-Nut" Wills (bass), Tim Mahoney (guitar), and Chad Sexton (drums). The origin of their name comes from a police code for indecent exposure in Omaha after the band's original guitarist was arrested for streaking.

The band achieved mainstream success in the mid-1990s with their triple-platinum album "311" (1995), which included the hit singles "Down" and "All Mixed Up." They followed it with a string of successful albums like "Transistor" (1997), "Soundsystem" (1999), and the celebratory live record "Live" (1998). Over the years, they’ve continued to solidify their status with a dedicated fan base, highlighted by their biennial "311 Day," an epic concert event that attracts followers from around the world. Recent releases such as "Voyager" (2019), "Mosaic" (2017), and innovative ventures like "With the Unity Orchestra - Live from New Orleans - 311 Day 2014" showcase their enduring appeal and willingness to explore new musical territories. With over three decades into their career, 311's ability to evolve while remaining true to their roots has cemented their legacy as enduring icons of the alternative rock scene.
