311 Take Papa Roach And Unwritten Law On Their Road Trip

Band tours in support of its upcoming LP, Don't Tread on Me.

It's a tried-and-tested rock formula: record album, release album, pack duds, load equipment onto bus, get out there and sell album. It also happens to be Omaha, Nebraska-bred reggae-inclined rockers 311's personal modus operandi. Given that the Nick

Hexum-led act has got a fresh batch of studio tracks in the bag in the form of Don't Tread on Me, it's that time again — mile-logging time.

Later this summer, 311 will be coming to a city near you, and they're bringing Papa Roach and Unwritten Law along for the ride. The band's 19-date headlining tour is set to kick off on August 2 in Tucson, Arizona, and will conclude in Corpus Christi, Texas, on September 8.

But first, 311 will play a pair of warm-up gigs in Santa Cruz, California, on July 27 and 28. The band will also take the stage for the Street Scene Festival in San Diego — which also features Snoop Dogg, the Pixies, the White Stripes, the Killers, and the Black Eyed Peas — on July 30 and perform an intimate show at the Palms Casino Hotel in Las Vegas on August 5. 311 are additionally scheduled to perform at the AmsterJam Festival on New York City's Randalls Island August 20 as part of a lineup that also features Garbage and the Red Hot Chili Peppers (see "Snoop, Chili Peppers Planning Onstage Mash-Up For AmsterJam").

Although there's no concrete release date yet for Don't Tread on Me, the album should hit stores in early August, according to a spokesperson for the band. The disc — 311's follow-up to 2003's Evolver — will feature a dozen tracks, including "Thank Your Lucky Stars," "Frolic Room," "Speak Easy," "Waiting" and "Shooting Up Flares." The band sought to further expand on its funk/reggae experimentations on the disc.

"We're just gonna continue the evolution," Hexum told MTV News (see "311's Nick Hexum Cures Post-Election Depression By Diving Into New LP"). "True 311 fans enjoy the journey."

what's the problem?

greenmonkey911 · Post by **greenmonkey911** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 12:50 am

the article says release date might be early august. early august/late july, what's the biggie?

Shiny · Post by **Shiny** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 1:18 am

well, first off, the article is wrong for posting tour dates and making them seem like they are finished when they aren't.

First of all. The article says Early August. I don't see where you got "Late" from. Secondly, whoever wrote that article is a testiculoid.

Later

This is what Joan posted about the tour dates:

Peter will have them correct that article. It's more like 40 dates total, not 19.

CatCity · Post by **CatCity** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 9:24 am

well early august is better than late august but i want it to come out mid-july like they said. i dont think i can stand any push backs

dj3stripes · Post by **dj3stripes** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 10:00 am

let's face it folks, album's not done yet, it's already the second week of june, no possible way it could be pressed and sent to vendors within a month, 2 months is even unreasonable, considering....

CULTI-VADER · Post by **CULTI-VADER** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 10:11 am

i was actually thinking that the other day but damn i sure hope not

FreeRayLiotta · Post by **FreeRayLiotta** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 12:35 pm

yeah that hexum brothers tour fucked up the mojo. the record would be out this tuesday if it wasnt for that... and good job on getting those extra votes for kerry nick.

doesnt really matter anyway. it will leak out in a few days

CatCity · Post by **CatCity** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 1:30 pm

YEAH FUCK THE KERRY CONCERTS!!!!

THANK YOU MR. KERRY FOR MAKING ME WAIT FOR THIS CD YOU ASSHOLE!

FreeRayLiotta · Post by **FreeRayLiotta** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 1:55 pm

well even if it arrives late.. there will be people out recording the shows and we'll hear the songs that way.

nick might not let them tape until the record drops though...

if i had millions of dollars and a huge pad with jars full of the worlds best chronic... i wouldnt get my shit done on time either..

Now why would you release an album after you start the beginning of touring. Doesn't make much sense to me.
