311 & The Offspring at The Meadows Music Theatre

Formed in 1988, the band achieved a massive success with their third, self-titled album, which set a trend that would continue for the rest of their career. 311’s latest album, “Mosaic,” is a 17-track long album, and the band’s first to feature two songs more than five minutes in length, a trend which the band sees continuing into the future, possibly even venturing into progressive rock territory. “Yeah, I think that maybe we will more,” Nick Hexum said in an interview. “I’ve had the idea of doing a crazy concept album where kind of the whole album is linked together. It’s a space where you can really let your creativity flow but it also demands a lot of the listener. I was listening to a podcast about why do bridges exist in music. It’s because people like a certain amount of repetition and then they want to get away from it and then they want to come back to the familiar…But in an epic you’re just moving on into new section after new section, which might be a little scary.”

Get ready to hear all the new songs from “Mosaic,” and maybe some surprises too, on August 21st – it’s going to be epic!!
