Review: 311 at the Marquee Theatre

A typical Tuesday night was twisted upside down when 311 graced the Marquee Theater in Tempe. The Nebraska natives put on a solid show that drew in crowds of all types — from hardcore rocker fans blowing off steam to brace-faced high school kids trying to catch a break. With a standing-room-only audience, 311 kicked off its set with “Down," bringing the energy through the roof and making it quickly obvious why this band has been selling out shows for more than two decades. The band's unique ability to combine different sounds, styles and music genres has earned 311 a well-deserved reputation for putting on a great live show.
