Q&A: Aaron P-Nut Wills of 311
Album "Universal Pulse" is a little different than past albums, according to bassist Aaron "P-Nut" Wills. Things are positive in the 311 camp; radio stations have jumped on the first single, "Sunset in July." But the process leading up to the July 19 release of the collection wasn't always easy."We had a batch of songs that we got rid of before we started finding our way [with 'Universal Pulse']," Wills told SoundSpike.
"We did a second batch of songs that we started pre-producing with Bob [Rock] and realized how much better the second batch was; the second batch is 'Universal Pulse.' We were a little lost in the first batch. We could have turned them into songs but it would have been a mediocre album. We all saw that coming, and we didn't feel any pressure because we didn't have a label while we were recording and just kind of made the music we wanted to make. It's a good place we're excited about what's coming next."
The multi-platinum band will release "Universal Pulse" on July 19. Produced by Rock (Aerosmith, Metallica) and mixed by 311 drummer Chad Sexton at the band's Hive Studio in North Hollywood, "Universal Pulse" is the seminal act's 10th studio album and the first to be released via its imprint 311 Records through an exclusive partnership with ATO Records.
The quintet (Sexton, Wills,vocalist/guitarist Nick Hexum, guitarist Tim Mahoney and vocalist SA Martinez) will celebrate the album's release -- and its 21st year together as a band -- with a headlining amphitheater tour set to kick off July 8 at the Capitol Federal Park at Sandstone in Bonner Springs, KS. The Unity Tour 2011 will run through Aug. 26 (see itinerary below) and includes Sublime with Rome and special guests DJ Soulman and DJ Trichrome.
This year, the band will also launch 311 Pow Wow Festival, a three-day, two-stage music extravaganza taking place Aug. 4-6 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, FL. The 500-acre park and campground will be home to the 311's first multi-day camping and music festival. Confirmed artists include Deftones, Ozomatli, Sublime with Rome, The Dirty Heads, G. Love and more. Festivalgoers can look forward to a four-set performance from 311, which will include 1997's acclaimed album "Transistor" in its entirety.
Wills spoke to SoundSpike about "Universal Pulse," the 311 Pow Wow Festival and his love of the Pixies.
SoundSpike: Congratulations on the release today of the single "Sunset in July.
