311 Made A Splash After First Time on Radio
. Back in the early '90s, however, frontman Nick Hexum and crew were just another aspiring band living in Southern California and hoping for their first big break, via Los Angeles' KROQ (a Radio.com station). "I do remember the first time we actually heard ourselves on a real radio station," Hexum said during a recent interview with Radio.com. "It was in 1993, and we had put out the song 'Do You Right,' and KROQ jumped on it right from the start." Hearing the high-energy single from 311′s debut album, Music, on the radio is something Hexum will never forget. "I'd moved out to L.A. first in 1988, and listened to nothing but KROQ, and then to hear us on the radio there in '93," he said. "We were actually by the pool at our little house in Van Nuys that all five us of lived in. It came on and there was a lot of high-fiving and cannonballs into the pool and probably smoking out, you know, just celebrating. That was a cool moment." more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
