Is there a secret to attending a show that SUNSET IN JULY will be on the setlist?


nickhexum

We’ve been playing sunset in July almost every night these days


Vazool1

When will ETSD 3 be released


nickhexum

I agree ETSD3 should see some daylight


Connor SunKeeper

Was there any secret messages in old songs that people haven’t figured out yet? Such as in Island Sun?


nickhexum

The Island Sun “secret message” may have been a red herring. Or maybe not…..


[MOB] HOMΣβЯΣW

So my question is if 311 is going to ever tour with Incubus again since the planned tour back in 2020 got canceled because of covid, but it was never rescheduled. So any plans on making that happen?


nickhexum

I hope the Incubus tour happens one day but they need pressure


Turnstile311

Need somebody rocks absolutely love it.


nickhexum

We rehearsed Need Somebody at soundcheck here in Alaska today


mutant_standard.

Hey Nick! This is spitsaber.exe who worked with Frank Maddocks on the “Full Bloom” album art! Hope you in the fellas love art! Loving “Need Somebody” !


nickhexum

Oh i just realized I can reply properly like this. Great job on the cover


Skywarp

On Stereolithic and Mosaic, you did a kitchen sink approach and put all of the songs on it. This time, you’ve limited the songs to 10 and have outtakes. What’s behind the shift in philosophy?


nickhexum

There was only one song that got left off because the person who wrote it wasn’t happy with it


Fizz

Nick should I play down at the talent show


nickhexum

By all means


AudioLoveMusic

Nick! Greetings from Ma. Summer of Love (94) – it was awesome to hear that version. I’m curious – why didn’t it make the cut on Grassroots all those years ago?


nickhexum

We were feuding with the label. It should have been included but things got weird


Pigmask

Any interest in doing more instrumental only rereleases of albums like you did with Voyager? The vocalist in me loved how convenient is was for me to not have to edit my own karaoke tracks for em


nickhexum

You know you can turn the vocals off on Apple Music, right?


JacobRuhmann

Do you think a tour with turnstile would ever be possible? Can’t thank you enough for getting me into them


Turnstile311

Nick you should write with turnstile. Make my dreams come true haha.

nickhexum

Ok, tell us where to sign up
