As March 11 Approaches, 311 Plans Nothing But Merch Sales This Year For 3-11 Day Or Thereafter

Fans of 311 can keep their calendars free for March 11 this year. While 3/11 has historically been celebrated amongst the band's fans as "three eleven day", 311 has posted that "there is no 3-11 Day show planned for 2007" and "3-11 Day has been an event that takes place every other year (2000, 2002, 2004, 2006)." It's an off year. So, along with the news that no events are planned for 3-11 day 2007, "At this time, there is no confirmed news on any tour dates or recording sessions" and "We look forward to bringing you more news about the band's future plans as soon as we have news to share." So, basically, 311 is taking some time off. Nothing wrong with that, guys. You're taking time off. Maybe a little, maybe a lot. We'll see you soon.

Oh, and starting tomorrow, there will be some good deals at The 311 Store. The sale runs through 3/11.
