NEW ORLEANS...TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 2008...
YOU BRING YOURSELF...WE'LL BRING THE BOOM!!!

SPRING TOUR 2008:
Leading up to 3-11 Day, 311 will hit the road for a short 10 show tour. Cities and dates will be announced upon confirmation. Keep an eye on the Tour Dates page for updates.

311 - BACK IN THE STUDIO:
311 are back in their Hive Studio in Los Angeles writing, jamming and having a good time exploring new material for their next album. The band already have several new song ideas in the works. As you know, making a new album takes time, but the good news is that it's all underway! The band is in the initial writing stage, so there are no song titles, album title or release date at this time. We are still a long ways away from those details, but wheels are turning for new tunes from 311!! All good things, in all good time!

WORDS FROM P-NUT:
I am at the Hive right now. Chad is holding his bulldog Zoe, miT and I are drinking Arnold Palmers and Nick is telling me to play some bass. SA is on his way over. Right now we are making demos for a couple of songs so they can grow with us for the next month. We are playing in the studio's live room and making ideas as we go, and we are planning on going-through those sessions and making songs from them. It's a dream-come-true to be working like this, relaxed and fun. Expect great things.

CHAD SEXTON NEWS:
As you know, Chad Sexton has his own drum store in North Hollywood, "Chad Sexton's Drum City" 4723 Lankershim Blvd. (and don't forget his Uncle Flips Smoke Pit for amazing Barbecue right next door). Chad spends a lot of time at his drum store when he's not on the road or in the studio. Chad is hoping to do a few upcoming meet and greets at some other music stores as well. The first one is noted below. Check the blog at myspace.com/311 for any added events.
