The road continues to stretch onward for 311, which will launch its final outing of the year in early October with special guest Zebrahead.
According to 311's management, the bands will spend six weeks on an all-ages tour that will total roughly 35 concerts.
311 has been touring steadily since releasing its "Soundsystem" album last October, most recently returning from several dates in Japan in early August. The band is set to play the Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver on September 30 and the giant Smoke Out festival on October 7 in San Bernardino, California, before the official kickoff with Zebrahead at the Warfield in San Francisco on October 9.
In other news, the band has remixed the Black Eyed Peas track "B.E.P. Empire" for an upcoming BEP maxi-single, according to the official 311 Web site. In addition to supplying the music behind BEP's vocals, 311 recorded and mixed the track in its portable bus studio while on the road.
The band hasn't limited recording its future output to its portable facility, as the group spent its August downtime writing, rehearsing, and recording in a brand new studio recently purchased in Los Angeles.
Orange County, California's Zebrahead, meanwhile, is touring to support its just-released new album, "Playmate Of The Year." The CD features guest appearances by members of Lit, Reel Big Fish, and No Doubt, and the 2000 "Playboy" Playmate Of The Year, Jodi Ann Paterson, graces its cover.
The band has released the title track as the album's first single, and the accompanying video, appropriately enough, was shot at the Playboy Mansion. The band is currently enjoying an extensive cross-promotion campaign with "Playboy" that includes the distribution of special CD-ROM singles, appearances with Playmates, and other gimmicks.
