Hey that might suck for the band but think of the
poor KKK. People are going to think they have
something to do with the worst band on the
planet. Think of their reputation!
>The band's statement:
>"It has come to our attention that there is a
>very unsettling rumor circulating regarding the
>name of our band '311.' We have been told that
>certain white supremacist groups use the numbers
>311 to represent the KKK. This is a most
>unfortunate coincidence and one that is
>extremely disturbing to us. We would like to
>state for the record that this is completely at
>odds with our personal beliefs. We believe the
>only people worth hating are organized haters
>like the KKK. Anyone familiar with our lyrics
>knows how we feel. Our lyrics make a strong
>stand against racism and a strong stand for
>positivity & unity. The name of our band
>originally comes from an Omaha police citation
>for indecent exposure. We thought it was funny
>at the time. Now our name simply means - five
>friends from Omaha making music, music that
> stands for peace and unity." Sincerely, 311
