311 Heads Into Studio With Hugh Padgham (MTV)

After releasing a concert album, "311 Live," late last year, 311 has just headed into the group's Hive Studios in Los Angeles with producer Hugh Padgham to start work on a new record, the follow-up to 1997's "Transistor."

311's label, Capricorn Records, says that the new album is tentatively due out in October, and that Padgham, noted for his past work with the Police, Sting, XTC, Paul McCartney and David Bowie, will share production duties with Scotch Rolston, who has had a hand in 311's last two studio efforts -- including its 1995 self-titled breakthrough.

Prior to the start of this week's sessions, 311 frontman Nick Hexum hit the studio himself to cut a remix of Lenny Kravitz's "Thinking of You," a track from "5," at the request of Virgin Europe. No word yet on what the remix was commissioned for, but it seems likely that the track will turn up on one of Kravitz's upcoming overseas singles.
