311 is an American rock band from Omaha, Nebraska. The band was formed in 1988 by vocalist/guitarist Nick Hexum, lead guitarist Jim Watson (who would later be replaced by Tim Mahoney), bassist Aaron "P-Nut" Wills and drummer Chad Sexton. In 1992, Doug "SA" Martinez joined to sing and provide turntables for 311's later albums, rounding out the current line-up. 311 is generally known as an alternative rock band, but it is also classified as rap rock, rap metal, funk rock, funk metal, reggae and jazz fusion. The band's name originates from the police code for indecent exposure in Omaha, Nebraska, after the original guitarist for the band was arrested for streaking. After a series of independent releases, 311 was signed to Capricorn Records in 1992 and released the albums ''Music'' (1993) and ''Grassroots'' (1994) to moderate success. They achieved greater success with their 1995 triple platinum self-titled album, which reached No. 12 on the ''Billboard'' 200 on the strength of the singles "Down" and "All Mixed Up", the former of which topped the ''Billboard'' Hot Modern Rock Tracks in 1996. The band's next three albums, ''Transistor'' (1997), ''Soundsystem'' (1999) and ''From Chaos'' (2001), did not achieve the massive success of the self-titled album, though they were still successful, with the first going platinum and the last two going gold. They are currently working on a new album, which is due for release in 2013.
