311 and Sublime with Rome in LA August 20
311 and Sublime with Rome will join forces for Unity Tour 2011. This year's installment of the annual summertime trek promises to be the party of the summer. The tour hits amphitheaters nationwide from July 8th to August 26th
The L.A. -area date – Saturday, August 20th at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre – will go on sale Saturday, April 30th at 10 AM. Tickets will be available at LiveNation.com, at select Live Nation and Ticketmaster retail outlets plus via Charge-By-Phone (800.745.3000).
311 vocalist Nick Hexum said: "Summer Unity in full effect! We're thrilled that Sublime with Rome is on the 2011 Unity Tour. 311 & Sublime with Rome seems like the perfect outdoor summer party. The 311 Nation is growing stronger every day and we're excited to see you all at the shows!"
Sublime with Rome singer/guitarist Rome said: "We're so excited to hit the US with 311. We'll have our album out and will be playing new original songs alongside the fan favorites. This will be an epic tour that will forever be remembered. Can't wait for summer!"
311 bassist P-Nut added: "This is the tour we've been waiting for!"
After years of incessant touring, 311 have developed a reputation as one of the most entertaining live bands in the U.S. Their celebratory live shows & dynamic recordings have earned them a massive grassroots following and a catalog of modern rock hits, including "Down," "All Mixed Up," "Amber," "Come Original," "Beautiful Disaster," and "Love Song." 311 will be touring in support of a new album (due out this summer), produced by Bob Rock.
Sublime with Rome, comprised of drummer Bud Gaugh and bass player Eric Wilson -- both founding members of the legendary ska-punk band, Sublime -- alongside gifted singer/guitarist Rome, are currently in the studio with producer Paul Leary (Butthole Surfers, Sublime, Meat Puppets) working on their highly anticipated debut album, due out this summer. Sublime with Rome first came together in 2009 for a series of high-profile shows before embarking on a worldwide headline tour that drew packed houses and rave reviews at every stop, as well as an electrifying national television performance on the outdoor stage at ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live." Having recently signed with Fueled By Ramen, Sublime with Rome carries on the legacy of Sublime -- without question one of the most successful and influential ska-punk bands of all time achieving worldwide sales in excess of 17 million, fueled by radio smashes as "Date Rape," "What I Got," and "Santeria" -- while also carving out its own place in the musical landscape. Though a relative newcomer, 22-year old Rome has already scored a bona fide hit of his own, co-writing and lending his distinctive voice to The Dirty Heads' recent #1 modern rock hit, "Lay Me Down."
Over the past several years, Unity Tour has included Snoop Dogg, The Offspring, Matisyahu, The Wailers and The Roots. Unity Tour 2011 featuring 311 & Sublime with Rome should be the biggest and best yet.

311 & Sublime with Rome San Diego-bound (Union-Tribune)
311 and Sublime with Rome are teaming up for the Unity Tour this summer. The two bands will perform here Aug. 19 at Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre in Chula Vista.
The show is not yet listed on the venue's web site, but it is included in the list of Unity Tour stop on 311's web site and on Sublime with Rome's web site.
A pre-sale for 311 Hive fan club members begins Tuesday. Ticket prices and the on-sale date for the general public have not yet been announced.
The teaming of the two bands seems sound, since both bands seem equally inspired by Jamaica, musically and, um, herbally. Where 311 mixes elements of reggae, metal, rap and funk in its aural brew, Sublime with Rome rocks out with a distinctly ska-inspired flavor.
Sublime with Rome was scheduled to perform here Nov. 12 at Valley View Casino Center (formerly the San Diego Sports Arena), but that show was canceled on Nov. 3 because of scheduling problems.

Lucky Number (Culture Magazine)
They weren’t the first band to combine rap and rock (Rage Against the Machine, Limp Bizkit) and they weren’t the only act to steep their musical stew in reggae and dancehall vibes (read: Sublime, No Doubt), but 311 has managed to remain a highly successful and distinctive powerhouse since the group exploded in the ’90s. With a diehard following and an annual 311 Day held every (you guessed it) March 11, the Nebraska-by-way-of-L.A. band (which also features vocalist/guitarist Nicholas Hexum, vocalist S.A. Martinez, drummer Chad Sexton, bassist P-Nut and guitarist Tim Mahoney) is successful on its own terms. The band just kicked off their Unity Tour and is performing Aug. 20 at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine (alongside Sublime with Rome, DJ Soulman and DJ Trichrome.
CULTURE recently got the opportunity to speak with P-Nut (real name: Aaron Charles Wills) about a new album in the works and his expanded role in its creation—he’s writing songs!
311 got big through self-promotion before the Internet became the monster it is today. Do you think bands today have it a lot easier compared to how it once was?
I don’t remember how we got the money to do all that. It was just dumb luck. It was an exciting time, being able to go to high school as a junior and sell a CD of my band when most people I knew didn’t even own a CD player. Now, so many bands can promote themselves on the Internet. I hope that helps things to become more independent and less corporate.
What would you like to say about the next big album?
I’ve been let into the sacred circle of songwriting, so I’m enjoying writing lyrics for the band, and I’m very proud of what I’ve done. It makes me feel appreciated. That was a point of tension, but now it’s been released.
I had once wished the album were a little longer. Chad, our drummer, has always been down for short albums while I am more for longer albums. We’ve always respected each other’s opinions and now I totally get it. There’s no need to have a gigantic album. This is a great album because every song deserves to be there. I totally get it now.
Maybe I’m just more excited about the continuation of our career, but the new album really feels like a return to form for us. It feels like it’s the band at full power. Before, we could be excited about chords and quick changes, but there’s something really special about everything in this album.
Let’s talk about 311 Day.
311 Day started by word of mouth. Fans would get together and listen to 311 every March 11. It was just, “Let’s hang out and listen to our favorite band.” In 2000, we did our first 311 Day. We played 46 songs for one show just to see if we could. We did 68 songs in a row in Vegas last year for 311 Day. When I’m onstage all that emotion coming from the audience, all that intensity . . . it makes me get stronger. I could play all day if I had to.
What are your thoughts on cannabis?
I dedicated our second album (Grassroots) to Shiva, the Indian god who brought cannabis to Earth. I wanted to help people look at it from that perspective.
Right now, by imprisoning people for using cannabis we aren’t taking care of those who grow up in a terrible situation, and it’s easier to imprison them instead of informing them. When you send people to prison, you are making them into better criminals. Concentrated criminality.
I can understand a person abusing marijuana. I don’t mind that I will probably not use it as much [now] because I’m a father, but I wouldn’t have been the same person if it wasn’t for having used marijuana.
If I choose to relax in a certain way, who is the government to tell me how I should do it? I’d smoke out in front of the President. Well, that’s a terrible quote, but you know what I mean.
