Omaha NE, United States (1989 – present)

311 (pronounced “three eleven”) is a band from Omaha, Nebraska. Their musical structure incorporates a variety of musical styles including , , , , , and . Since their self-titled album in 1995, all but one of their albums (the exception being Live) have been in the top 15 of the Billboard 200. Nineteen of their singles have received significant radio airplay since Do You Right in 1993; five of those songs being top 3 hits on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Early 311 (1989–1994)

In 1990 and 1991, 311 released three records on their own independent record label, What Have You Records. These records, titled Dammit, Hydroponic, and Unity, and alongside their energetic live shows, launched their career in the Midwest, after which they moved out to California in an attempt to be signed onto a major record label.

Their first major CD, Music was released in 1993. The single Do You Right received airplay on modern rock stations and reached #27 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart. But the album failed to chart at the time. The following year, they released their second album, Grassroots. Although none of the singles charted, the album reached #8 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart and #193 on the Billboard 200.

Mainstream breakthrough (1995–2000)

In 1995, 311 released what was to be their biggest selling CD, the self-titled 311 (also known as The Blue Album).

    dear god zach climb down off your hipster pedestal, so what if a guy likes mainstream music! oh wait you cant see this because when people dont agree with you, you block them! you have to try and remember that you arent god, and arent always right about music. you need to stop being soo elitist. and to anybody who can see this, having not heard it, how does grassroots compare to evolver and from chaos?

    Grassroots is indeed pretty fucking ill, btw, I must agree. Most people don't really seem to appreciate it for the raw masterpiece it is.
