There's also a lot of bootlegs floatin around out there: all doped up, teenie weenie, get bombed, downstairs, all spaced out, etc (if anyone has copies of these, email me!) Some of the other cd's-dammit!,hydroponic, unity, which they produced themselves, are very rare,were originally only sold in Omaha,and are now out of print, so good luck finding them if you want em. finding out that the police code for "indecent exposure" was 311 in omaha, the members grew fond of that code and it just stuck. ![]() Oh yeah and how they got the name 311: a while ago, when they were 1st starting out, their friend got caught skinny-dipping in other people's pools by the police. They were 1st called the eds and unity before becoming 311. ![]() so don't yell at me if there's something missing/a little inaccurate**) The 5 members of this great band, nick, sa, p-nut, tim, and chad, are all from the little town of Omaha, Nebraska. 1st, though, lemme give you a little general background info on the band, 311.(**note: this may not be entirely detailed and completely accurate this is just a collaboration of info i've either known or heard. So this is my ode to the man i love and absolutely adore, Nick Hexum. Smooth yet psychedelic is called the Nix Hex. Out of respect for their fan base, the group manage to cram all 21 songs onto one compact disc, saving their mavens a little loose change left over for T-shirts, stickers, and posters, all advertised on the inside.Je vais a la plage parce que le guignol est chousette! It's a heady blend of styles that makes the amalgam that is 311 work so wonderfully, and as guitarist-vocalist Nick Hexum has said, "Transistor is our way of saying that all living things are connected, that we are all conductors of electricity - that we're all part of the same massive energy source and in this way, we're all equal." Tracks like the mesmerizing dub cut of "Inner Light Spectrum," the funk of "No Control," the hip-hop flavor of "The Continuous Life," and the almost brutal soundscape of "What Was I Thinking?" (complete with walkie-talkie vocal sounds) showcase the band's love for diverse musical styles and their ability to blend them together into something new, fresh, and compelling. 311, the eclectic musical quintet whose unique and hypnotic blend of reggae, funk, hard rock and hip-hop reached a world audience with the success of their self-titled 1995 album, return with Transistor, their fourth release for Capricorn Records and their most fully realized and ambitious recording yet.
