![]() Basically, they have all the control and the artists has none. I mean, a lot of times, the record company isn’t even committed to making an album, much less putting it out or promoting it in any way. And having, you know, doing things like some record deals have traditionally been very unfair. I’ve been working on this sort of a tech startup idea to create like a network where artists can get the services that they need, without getting ripped off. I think just having little space and to do some side projects it’s important. But, you know, it is important to have a nice work-life balance. Nick Hexum: I think, if anything, we might not have had had enough breaks in there. Every band takes breaks, and does stuff like that. So I think it’d be good just to take a bit of a breather. And it’s a healthy thing to have some breaks. Nick Hexum: P-Nut has said that he - and I totally understand - wants to take a bit of a break just to, you know, spend a little bit more time on family. After the cruise, what might be beyond that? And I built the thing called the inspiration station, which is like a gazebo out in in nature. We did a lot of fun stuff during that time cooking. Let’s, you know, do some different projects. It’s like a big long snow day where like, OK, man, we got to figure out what to do. But, you know, I don’t want to miss all these awesome moments with the kids. I think that having breaks in there is is a good idea. And then some weekend shows where we’ll go and play albums in their entirety like Chicago. How’s the tour going? What’s happening on this fall tour? It’s a real homecoming vibe when we when we play home. But you played Large In the Margin for him, which I thought was really cool. Nick Hexum: Did you see when my dad came out at the very end and got a hug from me? No, I didn’t. I was at the show on Friday in Omaha, which is great. There may be a break coming up for the band in the future, so listen to the entire episode or read the Q&A below for the skinny on what’s going down. Hexum and I caught up on the Pops and Hisses podcast to talk about their fall tour, the full album shows they’re playing this fall and then dove into the band’s future plans. But he said this seems like a good time for it. The band has been running with its original lineup since forming in 1990, and they’ve never taken a break. Nick Hexum, co-lead vocalist and guitarist for the Omaha-bred rock-reggae-rap-funk band, says a break is likely next. 311’s Nick Hexum talked about the band’s future plans on the latest episode of Pops and Hisses.
