there name has had so much controversy over the years, from them being named for a police code in ohmaha nebraska for running thru the streets nude, to being a racial thing... 11th letter of the alphabet being "k" and the 3 11’s...

they’ve held strong over the years and kept true to themselves and their name.

and they’re quite an amazing band. with unbelievable live concerts. TWO thumbs up here.
