Here’s some info about 311 from Wikipedia:

In January 2007 311 stepped back into their Hive Studios with Nick’s younger brother Zack Hexum. They recorded a cover of Toots & the Maytals song “Reggae Got Soul” for the soundtrack of the upcoming film Surf’s Up, which was released on June 5. “Reggae Got Soul” leaked onto the internet in late May.

In a recent interview on MTV.com, Hexum confirmed that the band is working on new material for the next album, expected in 2008. He says there will be a new producer[citation needed], feature the rock sound the band is known for, and not to expect a sequel to 2005’s Don’t Tread on Me, which he feels was rushed[citation needed]. On March 11, 311 Day, 2007, Nick also confirmed a new song title, “I Was Wrong,” which he describes as combining dancehall reggae with funk[citation needed].

In April of 2007 311 confirmed this year’s “Summer Unity Tour”, which will run 50 shows from late June through late August, one of their longest to date [1]. Several opening acts will be featured throughout the tour, predominatly reggae artist Matisyahu, along with bands Shootyz Groove, The Rivalry, Particle, The English Beat, The Dirty Heads, Absolutely Perfect and Swizzletree.

And here is what Wiki has to say about Matisyahu:

In 2004, Matisyahu, after having signed with JDub Records, a not-for-profit record label that promotes Jewish musicians, released his first album, Shake Off the Dust…Arise produced by Alon Cohen for 12 Tribe Sound. At the time a relatively unknown musician, he did not rise to prominence until Bonnaroo 2005, when he talked Trey Anastasio of the band Phish into letting him play a set. This would prove to be the event that launched his career.[7]

His next album, Live at Stubb’s, released in 2005, was a live concert recorded in Austin, Texas. This concert album, and Youth, his third album, both received critical and popular acclaim. Each album marks significant changes in Matisyahu’s style, most markedly between Stubb’s and Youth, when more rock music influences are evident. Since his second two albums became popular, Shake off the Dust has steadily risen in demand, fetching prices upwards of $30USD on online auction sites such as Ebay.

Throughout 2005 and 2006, Matisyahu toured extensively in the United States, Canada and Europe; and made a number of stops in Israel. In late 2006, Matisyahu released his fourth album, No Place to Be, a remix album featuring rerecordings and remixes of songs from all three of his earlier albums, as well as a cover of “Message in a Bottle” by The Police.

The live version of the song “King Without a Crown”, broke into the Modern Rock Top 10 in 2006. The accompanying video and new album - Youth - produced by Bill Laswell were released on March 7, 2006 and on March 16, Youth was Billboard magazine’s number-one “Digital Album”. In 2006, Matisyahu appeared once again at Bonnaroo, this time performing a solo set in front of an estimated crowd of over 80,000 people.

In Spring 2006, right before the release of Youth, Matisyahu cut ties with his managers at JDub Records, which resulted in some controversy due to Matisyahu’s role in the founding of the label. Contrary to popular belief, JDub managed his act, but was not his record label. [8]

In April 2007 it was confirmed that Matisyahu, along with Los Angeles based jam band, Particle, would open for 311 on their Summer Unity Tour 2007. The tour will run from late June to late August and will play shows all across the country.

In June 2007 Matisyahu played at the Waikiki Shell in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he received a triple encore. His opening bands follow in order of appearance:

* Madina Lake
* The Plain White Tees
* Yellowcard

As of July 2007, Matisyahu has begun writing new songs for his for his third proper studio album, which is due for release sometime in early 2008.[9]
