311’s members met in 1990. The band asked the local radio station to play their first release. 311 started singing at the local club Vogue. The lead singer was encouraged to play by his grandmother.

The band is in the start of the accompanying tour for their new release. 311's members hope to team up with other artists while they are on tour.

Often times, critics have praised 311 for their playfulness with the audience at concerts. Tony Phillippe, a music critic from Dallas, has always pointed out band’s terrific guitarist. 311’s new record has received excellent reviews from all the critics, including Tony Parquette, who first saw the group perform in Philadelphia.

A member of 311 started dating a girl whose fatherwas a record executive. She passed the single on to them and the band signed a record deal soon after. The band members quit their other jobs to focus on their album. 311’s first album did not sell well, but received critical acclaim. The second album was a hit and the band was saved from being released by the record company.

The band loves playing in Ann Arbor because they played their first sold out show there. 311 realizes that most fans like their past songs, so they use material from older albums and the most current release. 311’s tickets for their latest tour are on sale on TheSeats.com, along with the schedule of all the band’s concerts.
