311 rolls out new round of tour dates, contributes to soundtrack
311 , which has been on a break since wrapping up its fall tour last year, climbs back on the bus for a late-winter run through the U.S.
The rock/reggae vets kick off their latest round of shows in late February, and dates so far stretch into mid-March. Ticket on-sale dates are set for all of the currently confirmed shows, and registered members of the band's free fan community, The Hive, will have access to tickets before the general public. Dates are shown in the itinerary below, and additional information about the pre-sales is posted at the band's website.
The itinerary includes the 311's annual March 11 performance in New Orleans--officially dubbed 311 Day by the city's mayor--which the band's website says will be 311's "most special event of the year." In past years, the group has played for well over three hours, and its set list has included rarities not usually performed in concert.
Omaha-based 311 is backing its latest album, "Evolver," which surfaced last summer. The album features the cuts "Creatures (for a While)" and "Beyond the Gray Sky."
New music from the group also turns up on the Feb. 3 soundtrack to the forthcoming Adam Sandler film "50 First Dates." The band covered The Cure's "Love Song" for the set, and 311 singer-guitarist Nick Hexum also produced a few additional songs for the movie and soundtrack that feature vocals from Seal, Jason Mraz and Dryden Mitchell.
