This musical diversity was among other reasons, which led the band to success. These genres are quite different from each other, and some of these directions are really exotic, thereby they are so interesting to listeners. The rockers somehow managed to combine various directions in their art, from funk-rock and funk-metal to reggae and even jazz-fusion. The studio work titled Transistor (1997) proved to be not less interesting then its predecessors and got the Platinum status – the connoisseurs of music really enjoyed the easy recognizable unique 311 style. By the way, it was 311 that presented such well-known and tried-and-true hits as All Mixed Up and Don't Stay Home. A year later 311 issued the second studio attempt Grassroots (1994), while their self-titled album 311 was released in 1995. Who knows if the rockers really had such plans, however they conquered the world indeed. Then the task was to conquer the rest of the USA and the whole world. It is worth mentioning that 311 had already had the fans in West Coast – numerous shows definitely played their role. The musicians managed to attract attention to their creativity in practically no time. Thereby, together with Chad Sexton, Nick Hexum and Aaron Wills they formed 311 in the shape that became popular to music lovers all around the world.ģ11’s debut record saw the light in 1993 and it got quite the logical name Music. Later the group was joined by a DJ and a vocalist Douglas Martinez. By 1991 the guitarist Jim Watson left the band, but soon his place was taken by Tim Mahoney. Shows at local bars and small clubs turned out to be a good thing anyway, as soon as it brought such a priceless experience. The success did not come during the very first stages, but it could not stop the artists. Once, the young men decided to try their luck in the music field. Its members have been friends since the school and they were united by their love to music. The famous American rock band 311 was formed in late eighties in Nebraska.
