Introducing new song structure and different genre-inspired guitar solos, riffs, and rhythms, as well as less rap inspired lyrics, Transistor became a standout entity in the long line of 311 albums. 311 (pronounced three-eleven) is an American r ock band from Omaha, Nebraska. The tour was announced a few months back, following the band’s latest marathon 311 Day experience in Las Vegas.Ĭoming up this weekend, Oct. + 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. The band was formed in 1988 by vocalist and guitarist Nick Hexum, lead guitarist Jim Watson (a member briefly, before being replaced by Tim Mahoney in 1990), bassist Aaron P-Nut Wills, and drummer Chad Sexton. 22 and 23 from House of Blues in Chicago, 311 will play two of their most beloved albums: 1995’s self-titled Blue record and 1997’s Transistor, both of which featured the band’s biggest ’90s hits (“Down,” “All Mixed Up” and “Beautiful Disaster”), as well as several fan favorites. The album shows will be live streamed via the band’s website, which has all the details about live stream tickets, merch packages and more. Per a news release, each live stream show will begin with a unique 30 minute behind-the-scenes intro of footage from Fall Tour, followed by the full production concert featuring that specific album plus more songs each night.ġ0/22 Sat. ‘ Blue’ live from Chicago (House of Blues)ġ0/23 Sun. ‘Transistor’ live from Chicago (House of Blues)ġ1/11 Fri. ‘Soundsystem’ live from LA (Wiltern Theater)ġ1/12 Sat. ![]()
