Their first CD, Music was released in 1993 and eventually went gold. The following year, they released their second album, Grassroots, Their biggest selling CD was their self-titled release in 1995 (also known as The Blue Album) which went triple-platinum, and also found mainstream success with the singles "Down" and "All Mixed Up". From 1997 to 2003, 311 stayed under the mainstream radar, releasing the albums Transistor, a live album, Soundsystem, From Chaos, and Evolver. Their continued success during this era was fueled mainly by their loyal fanbase and from slight radio success with the singles "Beautiful Disaster", "Come Original", "Amber", and "Creatures (For A While)". Some of their fans believe that 311's unique style of music that deviates from the mainstream had prevented them from becoming chart-toppers.
In 2004, 311 covered "Love Song", a song originally recorded by The Cure, which achieved massive radio success and became a number one hit. It was featured on the soundtrack for the motion picture 50 First Dates starring Adam Sandler, and then a few months later on their own Greatest Hits compilation. Also that year, 311 played a 68-song setlist during their concert on 311 Day, which the band has held in New Orleans every other year since 2000. 311 Day occurs on March 11 (i.e. the third month of the year, eleventh day). The next 311 Day is to occur in 2006, but following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, it is currently unknown whether it will still be able to take place in New Orleans.
On August 16th, 2005, 311 released their eighth studio album, titled "Don't Tread on Me."
Aside from their currently released albums, the band has created three well documented videos (Enlarged to Show Detail, Enlarged to Show Detail 2, and 311 Day: Live in New Orleans) of their touring, friendship, positive messages, and of course, music. ...more
