311 PRESS CONFERENCE:
On 3-11 Day, www.311.com will be hosting a special Video Press Conference with the members of 311. Over the past week, we have been collecting questions from you – the fans – via the 311 Bulletin Board. On 3-11, the band will answer an array of questions during the 3-11 Day video press conference. Questions range from the musical (about recording, songwriting, touring, performing, lyrics, equipment, etc.) to the general (about life, philosophy, sports, hobbies, etc.). Some questions will be answered by individual bandmembers and some by the whole band. We have received hundreds of questions, so please do not be disappointed if we do not answer your question. We can only do so much. The Video Press Conference will be available as a free download on www.311.com on March 11th. Look for the pop-up window on the home page of the website at 3:11pm est on 3-11 for details on how to access the Video Conference page, which will feature streaming clips of the band answering questions. The clips will remain on the website through March 31st. Tune in!!
NEW ALBUM UNDERWAY:
311 are now in full recording mode at the band's studio, The Hive, in Los Angeles. 311 are very excited with the evolution of the new songs. The band will record through the end of March, followed by mixing and mastering in April and May.

Saint, who has worked with 311 on Evolver, From Chaos and the Blue album, will produce, record and mix the new record. 311 are very excited to have Saint back behind the board dialing in the classic 311 sound!!

Based on the recording schedule, we look to release the album in July 2005. It's all in the works, stay tuned!!
