Virginia Hey

Among her best known films are Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior and The Living Daylights. The band has denied that the name has any link with the KKK; saying that the name was taken from the number of an Omaha police citation for indecent exposure. Ultimately the band has benefited from the publicity of the rumor, gaining media exposure they would not have received otherwise. Outside of her acting career, Hey has taught meditation, and is certified in Reiki and natural therapy. In 1997, a rumor started that the band's name, 311, stood for Ku Klux Klan because K is the 11th letter of the alphabet. Virginia Robyn Hey (born June 19, 1959) is an Australian actress widely known as her role as Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan on the popular science fiction television programme Farscape. Aside from their currently released, the band has created two well documented videos (Enlarged to Show Detail and Enlarged to Show Detail 2) of their touring, friendship, and of course: music. "Down", "All Mixed up".

Their first CD, Music was released in 1993 and eventually went gold. Their biggest selling CD was their self-titled release in 1995 (also known as "The Blue Album") which went triple-platinum, and also found mainstream success with the singles. These records, titled Dammit, Hydroponic and Unity, and their live shows, launched their career in the mid west after which they moved out to California in an attempt to be signed onto a major label. In 1990 and 1991, 311 released three records on their own indy label, What Have You Records. All five of the members grew up in Omaha, Nebraska in the 1970s.

The members of 311 are Nick Hexum (lead vocals, guitar), Douglas Vincent "SA" Martinez (vocals, turntable, programming), P-Nut (bass), Tim Mahoney (lead guitar), and Chad Sexton (drums). 311 formed in late 1988 in Omaha, Nebraska as a rapcore/nu metal/punk rock/reggae group.
