311: Tiny Desk Concert

What better way to spend March 11 than with 311 bringing love and nostalgia to the Tiny Desk. The members of 311, who have been a band together for over 30 years, strolled into NPR HQ and barely needed much rehearsal time before playing four of their most beloved tracks. The band has been performing these songs for decades, and you can tell it all just comes naturally. "This kind of reminds me of being in my dad's basement, being back next to the pool table, but it smells better here," said lead singer Nick Hexum, who felt right at home and back to his roots at our office space.
311's self-titled album came out in 1995 when I was entering my peak angst stage. The songs on that album were the perfect soundtrack to all the pre-teen feelings I wasn't able to fully express myself. I also heavily related to what remains to be my favorite lyric of all time from the band's 1997 album Transistor: "I do, I don't, whatever."
311's Tiny Desk set started off with the song that lyric comes from, personal favorite "Beautiful Disaster." The band continued with classic "All Mixed Up" before chilling out a bit with "Amber." Then, as Hexum said before the band's final track, "Down," it was "back to the rock." Listen out for SA's changed lyric honoring my and Tiny Desk's shared hometown: "Fall in love with your teachers, on the wax we are self made / Check the technique, 311 in D.C."

So much love these guys. 1st show I was in Staton nebraska at the fairgrounds... got my unity then... man I'm old
I Won tickets to 311 in 2000 But ... Had a Date with the WARDEN for a DUI!! Quit drinking after that! Oh well life!!
man... when i listened to their music feels like yesterday.... 시간 참 빠르다....
If you’re here, congratulations. We all made it through our youth and have entered our golden years.
thanks bro. you're right.
Welcome back gentlemen.
Good evening.
Speak for yourself buddy
This place is terrible. Golden? Nah. Righteous in my works? ehhh. At least I have some experience in trying to do so, now.
311 snare drum is the sound of my childhood 🙏
Me, too. Love that Chad Sexton piccolo snare!
Orange County drums are the best!!!
I know Chad uses Pearl again now
100%
I specifically tuned my set to sound like Chad's.
So much respect for 311 for playing the hits. No one comes on Tiny Desk and plays TWO songs from their 1995 album, but 311 delivers.
only one who might be able to do it is Pearl Jam with their TEN album
They played everything I wanted to hear. Just the bops. Incredible band.
FOR REAL! They know what the people want.
That's because their 1995 album is full of bangers that still hold up till this day. IMO, every era of 311 is solid. My friends and I always used to jam out to their song Freeze Time off their album Soundsystem while driving around in his janky 92 Ford Aerostar van lol.
@@eldiablo3794respect
311 is the definition of consistency. They bring it every time I hear/see them. Everyone looks healthy and unbothered. That’s how this music lifestyle should really be.
I love love this band. But their live performances are consistency to the point of boredom. I wish they would bring more energy. Work the crowd. Talk to us. Work in some dance breaks. Mix it up. Please god mix it up. Nick has been saying the same thing in his shows for decades. The intros are the same. The bass solo is the same. The drum break is the same. When you watch or attend a 311 concert you know what you're getting; the same thing you have the last 5, 10, 11 times you went to the show.
That’s why you go to like three max in your life lol. I’m good on them after that… 😂
Yeah I’ve seen them so many times that I only really want to see them if they’ve just released new music.
still prob my favorite band to watch live
really well put there Spot on
311 on 311 day
haa didnt even pick that up! thanx!
🙏
NICE! I didn't notice that!!
What was it, 3 or 4 years ago the new Enlarged to Show Detail film was in theatres? I remember stopping off at my local bar and playing 311 on the jukebox for an hour after seeing the film.
I just noticed that! 😂
311 might be one of the few bands from my youth that STILL has all their original members......awesome
part of what makes them such a perfect band is the fact that not a single member could be replaced, each of them contributes something so totally unique that if you remove one part you lose the whole, a very rare and beautiful thing to see in a band going this strong all along
>bands with all original band members /never changed lineup (*pretty much, at least since their 1st major label album debut release) :
u2
311
a-ha
blur
coldplay
garbage
green day
kings of leon
radiohead
strokes
yeah yeah yeahs
They came original, stayed original. Badumtiss
They have Anthony Jeselnik on lead vocals now.
and more or less still sound just as good
I don’t care what my wife says, I’m getting that 311 tattoo.
on the back of the calf lol
That's where my buddy has his, 311 on one leg Steelers on the other
yes
I'm 38, childhood music. I never realized the lyrics are so beautiful and inspiring. No negativity, these are beautiful humans.
Couldn't have said it better. Cheers
39 here, checking in. Well said!
Listening to them, being gen z, their lyrics really are inspiring for me to write more than just angry lyrics
37 here. 311 have been my go to since 5th grade. Still the same members,making new music and touring about every year. Stay positive and love your life everyone.
Refreshing
Kind of nutty that these five guys have kept the band together for so many years. Still sound pretty good, too!
the key is to never get rid of your drummer or bassist they are the backbones
@@lunacavemoth that snare is so crucial and important to the 311 sound
Quite a few bands that got together in the 80s and big in the 90s are still together, touring, and selling a lot of tickets. It’s kind of awesome i have never had to stop seeing some of my favorite bands.
they're a fun band.
wishing they would've done Omaha Stylee
Props to PNUT for the quiet Mac Miller tribute w/ the orange Don't Trip hat. This band is so good and they just keep getting better. Original crew 30+ years later and still rocking.
Such a cool tribute - don’t think anyone’s done it before
love that hat. got me one a few years ago for same reason. RIP Mac, a tiny desk legend
fellas....high school in the 90's is over!
First thing I noticed.
RIP Mac
One of my top NPR Tiny Desks, Mac Miller absolutely ...yay Aaron
The thing that I love about this band is how they all actually seem like a group of dudes who have accepted their age and allowed themselves to mature. Nick Hexum, for example, loves to post about all the time he spends with his daughters. It's made me come back to them after so many years.
I never left. This is my soulmate band.
I’m 36 and I’ve been in a 311 kick for the last two weeks showing my daughter this beautiful music and now I run into this…. The universe is an awesome thing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
First I was kinda shocked of seeing all my favourite bands getting older, but now I kinda love it. Getting old is part of life and seeing them still with the same energy is awesome.
Imagine how the original Rolling Stones fans feel 😅
Same here, plus these guys look great for their age.
fellas....high school in the 90's is over!
So lame lol
❤
Tim absolutely NAILING his studio tones live is one of the best parts!
His Amber lead is perfect here. Lovely. Long live miT.
Crystal clear sound. Whoever is mixing, give that person a raise.
I know dude, I was just thinking the same thing. Amazing.
P-Nut is killing it two the whole time! Chad is kinda showing off by being so minimal
I feel like he hasn’t sounded this good in like 20 years lol
Nick ending with "Stay positive. Love your life" really gave me a smile. It was a brutal day for me
I've been a touring musician before. I can speak to how mind-numbing it can be to play the same music over and over. These guys have been doing these songs for decades. You don't do that unless you really, REALLY love your fans. They've already made their millions. They've already got their fame. They have nothing to prove anymore. The only thing I can see that keeps them going is just straight up love for one of the most loyal fanbases in the business. That's pretty admirable.
Am sure it helps when the fans can pretty much sing the whole set with you. Must make these guys feel so good to know they have fans that love there music maybe more then they do some times.
Yes! Feel the same way about The Killers & The Offspring - they pretty much always play their biggest hits at every show I've been to and the crowd eats it up.
One of the few bands that have maintained their line up all these years.
my favorite band has done that as well since 1997
311still has their original line-up? thats unheard of in the music scene or extremely rare. usually a band will atleast go through a few drummers.
In their early days they had another guitarist named Jim Watson who was around for less than a year
Maintained their lineup and maintained their sound. I love 311. They are my fav band ever. I understand if they’re not some people’s jam - they can keep listening to Swift and Nickleback.
Nick Hexum looks like the captain of a doomed spaceship. And I love it.
Omg how did you even come up with this comment - I see it so clearly in my head: I see him with a high collar and Starfleet badge.
Now do S.A. 🫢
@@DoTheDewRvB S.A. look like the type of neighbor who will lend you a tool but who will also doubt you know how to use it.
@@AndyRiot Maybe he was one in a past/future life. I can't unsee it now.
Captain Kaboom
I’m 18 years old, I’ve seen 311 3 times and every time has been more worth it than any current bands. They always bring the energy
Every Time ❤
Omg we’re all grow’d up 😭. Flashback to a little bar in Lincoln, Nebraska when there was just a handful of people. My memories of 311 concerts will forever be in my heart. Yo P-Nut, beat that thang!
Can tell u are an awesome person
I don't know of it's ever been said, but you really have to give this band credit for introducing rock fans to a lot of world music styles
True
🤍🤍
Indeed! I'm one of them😂
I used to work with this Chinese woman who was really cool, named Chang. I asked her what her favorite music was and she said, "Do you know 311?" It was the last thing I expected, we had so much fun after that listening to 311 and such
That sounds like one of the coolest things to ever happen while at work lol
I love this so much lol, without fail every person I have ever met that is a 311 fan has the absolute BEST vibes
Should have married her.
@@jamesdaniels5379 she was already married to some tall, rich guy 😭
@@tomkruze1304rip 🪦
So glad that NPR celebrates 03/11 day.
I'm 45 and 311 were the original hometown heroes from the Midwest. They did move to LA to make it big (and it worked out) but they have so many references to the roots of the Midwest that they are champions. Love 311. This is great!
I could listen to that snare drum every day for 300 years, and maybe 11 more.
Those cymbals though!
I'll never forget that snare sound.
Piccolo snare drum
@@luckylex12it’s not a piccolo. He hits his snare more towards the edge that’s why it sounds that way
@furrie29
It's the way the snare is tuned.
It's very common in reggae/dub to have a tight snare sound. 311 is highly influenced by both musical styles.
@@hickoryhippie it’s not just the tuning. He hits more towards the edge of the drum. If you see his snare head you can see the worn out mark where he constantly hits it.
@@furrie29 I'm not disagreeing with where he hits the snare. I'm simply saying that the drum head is tuned tightly for the snappy tin sound.
311 was the sound of the 90's for me. So many great songs.
They are respectably tight after so many years. Well done
This brings me so much joy. Whoever came up with the idea to have 311 on TD, thank you!
they do good work at Tiny Desk
how much time did you save - Tiny Desk lol
Yah-they sound TIGHT & CLEAN!!! Congratulations to 311 for staying together and always bringing that ‘feel good vibe’
It's fun and everything but they are definitely not tight and clean.
They make It look Easy but im sure Its the other way around.
❤ 💯
@@erenbecomesdovecrying6016 its the same show its always been. Controlled. Lack of creativity. Safe. I love this band but I really need crowd work, yes even at Tiny Desk. Change the intros. Change what you say to the crowd. Change the bass solo. Change the drum feature. Please mix it up. Talk to us. Those of us who are still here for the long haul need 311 to breath new life into their presence.
I honestly have never really been into 311 before this video, but I am albums deep now. so thank you!
Saw them at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha 1991. Here we are 33 years later. Wow
Love to see these guys got old like me. Gray hair on the beard and still rocking like is 95' 🤘🏼 Happy 311 day from Costa Rica 🇨🇷🎉💚
This 15 minutes, literally can bring back YEARS of memories and great time, so easily and quickly
The last concert I went to was in Pittsburgh back in July of '19. 311 and Dirty Heads. It was the show 311 livecasted worldwide. I went with my fiance. 311 was her absolute favorite band and one of my top faves, so this show was extra special. I lost her back in Sept 2022. I love that I can RUclips the exact show we were at. I can picture the whole show. I KNOW she would've loved this.
You will always be my Beautiful Disaster. I love you Ames. Always and forever.
💚♾️💜🤴🏻👸🏼
I love all the positivity in these comments. Rare these days, and it's feeding my 90s-loving heart!❤
I feel like RUclips started putting the negative ones at the bottom a few years ago, lol

My all time favorite band. Seen them live a few times and always bring the energy. P-Nut has already announced that he only has a couple more years left. Thank you 311 for all the great years and thank you NPR for having them on!
In the band or of life? Is he sick?
PNut was going to take a break last year but decided not to. He ain't goin nowhere.
What a trip! 311 sounds amazing and they still got it. I'm grateful everyday for being a 90's teen because we had a wealth of awesome music.
It was a better, more free and fun time all around too.
I was a little kid in that era, my siblings were teens - they listened to this stuff, I would be cimbing trees and playing in the woods all day, and rollerblading with my friends, playing SNES.... and I would go on little trips to the store or to drive around with my brother and sister, and they would be listening to this stuff -- RHCP, Sublime, 311, RATM.... you name it, all the hallmarks.... sevendust, etc....
leaves an indelible impression, such fond childhood memories and nostalgia - the 90s
😎🎮📺
I’m seriously so happy hearing this performance.
I think I’ve seen 311 about 13 times .. never gets old and love every show !! Shout out to my sister introduced me way back when and has been a fan from the beginning. Much love here in VA for 311!
"Nothing good comes easily/sometimes you've got to fight" still hits hard.
I was just thinking about those lyrics
Amber is sooo lovely. Right in our teenage feels
Ikr, it's not like those simple facts weren't expressed about at least a 100 million times before these morons included them in their song lyrics.
Happy 311 Day - P-Nut much love for honoring Mac with the hat. Peace and Love.
I thought I recognized it! RIP MAC
Came to say the same
Mac had such an amazing set for his Tiny Desk.. I watch it every few weeks
Happy 311 Day
God I love this band so much. Just good music, good lyrics and good feels. Makes me want to cry almost, I wish everything felt this good.
One of the BEST tiny desk! 311!
Let me remind you all that these guys are this tight WITHOUT in-ear monitors.
No metronome and just come in perfectly on the one.
Amazing
WITH OVER 2,000 SHOWS AND MEANING WHAT THEY CREATE ITS NOW JUST SECOND NATURE TO GEAR UP AND BECOME ONE. THESE GUYS PUT IN THE TIME AND WORK TO GET HERE. WHATS AMAZING IS YOU NOTICING THAT. IM SURE THAT IS THE CREDIT THEY REALLY CHASE NOWADAYS.
whats wrong with in ears? they're just so you can hear yourself and other istruments. It's not like they're playing at this volume in stadiums. they need proper monitors in bigger rooms.
This is not that impressive lol
Reading comprehension helps here. No one said anything against the use. I said it’s awesome that they are this tight without the use of them.
@@mattsavagedjI’ve played all of these songs in cover bands with and without in ears and as long as the drummer is competent they are not hard. Especially if they have played these songs thousands of times lol.
I need an incubus tiny desk
In the worst wayyyyy
Yes! Make it happen tiny desk 🙏🏻
Only if they play songs from S.C.I.E.N.C.E, Make Yourself, and Morning View.
I concur 💪💪💪
Yes!!!
Stay positive. Love your life.
THANKS 311 & TINY DESK!!!
Can't believe they crammed their sound behind the Tiny Desk! Happy 311!
easily top 5 tiny desks of all time. nothing but BANGERS.
This and Freddie Gibbs easily get in the top 5
Seriously so clean 👌
Facts !
Good vibes. Much needed nowadays
Been listening to these guys since 2001. High school days. They always kept me in a good mood thru their unique sound and positive lyrics. Pnut was the reason I started playing bass after hearing “What Was I Thinking?”. Every band member has a unique and special style, that when combined, forms phenomenal music. One of the most underrated bands of all time.
38 years old now and still my favorite band!! Nothing like “Running” 2 miles with 311 in my ears!!! 🏃🏻 🎸 🎶
As I've gotten older I've developed more and more respect for 311. Their dedication to each other and their music... simply fantastic.
Literally just said this to my youngest kid... who rolled their eyes.
... and they have a decent catalogue to explore. Not all great, but they do have a sound and a great positive vibe. Fun live as well. I would diss them back in the 90's but gave them a 2nd chance. Glad I did as they still rock it.
Same with a lot of artists from that time. As I get older I have more respect for Blind Melon.
311 werent my fav band growing up but I always respected the musicianship. Especially Chad, Tim and p-nut. Criminally underrated rhythm section.
big same homie
As a hip hop head I saw these guys live in between pharcyde and cypress hill at San Jose state in 1996. They tore it down. Great show , been a fan ever since.
Saw them in 1996 (I was 12 or 13) at the local Hartford CT radio rock fest that summer and they were amazing!
I saw them 2004 I was 16 still one of the greatest shows in my memory and I've seen them many times since. Nothing beats that 2004 Philly show where the roots opened for them.
Saw em in Houston 95 with pharcyde and outcast! That's my I Used to Be Cool story.
Was there too! 😊
heck yeah that was my first ever concert!!!
Thanks guys. 311 still got it😎
How many bands have 311's longevity with ALL ORIGINAL MEMBERS? Incredible achievement. Finally saw them live a few years ago and were excellent.
I can think of Radiohead and U2, but not too many others with over 30 yrs of consistent activity. (RATM, for one, I do not count for this reason.) Probably missing a couple more but it ain't a long list for sure.
RUSH, but yea not many bands stay together for that long.
"... 311. The Beatles of rap rock."

This was awesome. I hope they have at least one more album in them. The world can never have too much 311. Kickin' the funk that smells of skunk since '88.
I like 311 but they’re not the beatles of rap rock and late night hosts today tend to be the last people you should look to for musical advice

their self-titled album was one of the first CDs I ever purchased. happy 311 day!
Mine was on a Cassette Tape back when I was in High-School.
Yup! Had mine in 1998!
One of my first as well. What great times!
I got it in high school as a gift and it changed my life
Same, maybe my 3rd or 4th cd back in 96 and in 6th grade. I’m 40 now woah 😂
P Nut is one of the reasons i started playing bass in the late 90s. Glad these guys have stayed together for 36 years.
Nick and Tim havent changed their hair styles in at least 20 years
He is one of the reasons I bought a Warwick Prostreamer back in the day!
Yo P Nut beat that thang!
Dude same, I remember hearing the blue album in my friends basement when I was about 12 and was like "i think i want to try playing bass".
Still playing guitar regularly to this day.
I got into this band in the past 2 years…I just love how uplifting and positive a lot of their music is. I saw them at Red rocks and they’re great performers, and also talented musicians.
As a teen in Southern California in the early 2000s you were so cool if you knew about 311 and knew their songs! Back when kroq still played actually good music😅. Miss those days 😭
They still got it 30 years later. Surprised to see them on Tiny Desk Concert though.
Hells yeah
They're in a bit of a comeback after almost folding the band through covid and they're releasing a new album this year. They just had back to abck nights in Vegas and have been touring and seem to have found a new gear. Love that NPR let them release the episode on 3/11 day.

Just noticed that too!! Makes me love 311 even more than I do!! P-Nut showing respect to Mac from his iconic tiny desk performance!
My favorite band ❤💚❤️💚
I love seeing them comeback and how they also have plans for new music after their iconic 30 year career trajectory. My favorite rock band of all time! Their unique sound and overall vibe is something that I cannot find in other bands. I hope they go on a mini tour; come to the East Coast or Austin, TX pls!!! Thank you Tiny Desk
Takes me back...Pop open that CD from the case, opening the walkman, starting the lawn mower, let it ride.
I like it when bands just know when to “stick to the hits” and give people what they want 👏

I was stoked when Abraham Lincoln became their new lead singer in 1861
Hearing this makes my heart happy 🤘🏽
They still look and sound great! Like me hitting 40!
They killed it on “All Mixed Up” 🔥
So glad they did
They killed at ALL. But I love that song too.
I appreciate that they didn't drown the mix in FX like normal. Definitely adds to the intimate vibe to be able to hear the vocals. They can both still sing great.
Tiny Desk audio techs are the best. Never is anything drowned in FX.
That’s inaccurate.
@@junkandcrapamenJosh Rogosin is the star behind it all. He’s not behind this Tiny and I hate to say it but it kind of shows

My life as a teenager in one video... Thanks, Tiny Desk!
The sound engineer...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾, sounds like the exact album..
love 311 and so grateful they are still around in 2024
Looking back, the number of great bands from the early 90's is bonkers.
Back when bands had to work a bit harder and tour relentlessly and people were still buying music CD's. God, I miss those days and wish MP3's and Napster were never invented 🤣
The last period of time where bands that made their name outside of the industry's control got a shot. There's a reason why mainstream music got absolutely terrible afterward
When I was 13 my friend let me borrow their Greatest Hits cd and I listened to it nonstop and fell in love, and I felt horrible for missing out for so long. I'm 33 now and been listening to these guys consistently since then. Absolute legends!
What makes 311 so special is that each of their songs have a unique sound. Very happy they played on tiny desk. Thank you NPR🙏🏽
This wins the Internet today. Thanks NPR
Thirty years worth of memories packed in a 16-minute concert. Truly amazing 😎.
As a soul songwriter and muzik Producer myself, Nick Hexum taught me as a lifelong musician, one must remain teachable and expand their arsenal of skills!
I love 311! Still keepin' it tight 🔥🔥🔥🤟🏼😁💖🎶🎸🥁
Such an iconic snare sound. Just one hit and I'm back in 1996
P-nut! One of my childhood bass hero’s. Now at 43 I rock out with my kids.

So good. All of them are great musicians.
