311, Our Lady Peace Take It To The River (MTV)

With its U.S. tour still pending, 311 has just signed on to perform with Our Lady Peace and Angie Aparo at an environmental benefit concert slated for February 26 at the Fox Theater in Atlanta.

Dubbed the "99X Chinese New Year" concert, the event is being co-sponsored by local radio station WNNX, with proceeds going to benefit the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper Fund.

The Riverkeeper Fund was started in 1994 and is dedicated to advocating and protecting the Chattahoochee River, its tributaries, and watershed -- primarily the 200 miles that run through the north Georgia mountains to West Point Lake.

As for 311, the benefit one-off will come less than a week into the band's planned outing with Jimmie's Chicken Shack, a tour that will start on February 21 in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The Nebraskan band has also just issued a new track, "Flowing," as the second single from its newest album, "Soundsystem," and the song has already ebbed its way into the top 30 of the "R&R" Alternative charts.
