Synopsis

311 perform "Homebrew" amid the rough surroundings of an abandoned house, with the band's aggressive delivery matched by quick cuts, handheld camerawork, and close-up shots of the musicians. The video also shifts to live footage from Atlanta's Masquerade Music Park, where the band plays to an energized festival crowd. The contrast between the derelict location and the packed concert captures 311's early identity: part underground rock crew, part increasingly ambitious touring act.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Homebrew" was released in 1994 as part of 311's second album, "Grassroots."
  • The video was filmed at an abandoned house in Sun Valley, California, and at the Masquerade Music Park in Atlanta, Georgia, during the Sonic Sunday Festival.
  • It was the only music video made for the "Grassroots" album.
  • The video was later included in 311's 1996 home video release, "Enlarged to Show Detail," alongside "Down," "All Mixed Up," interviews, backstage material, and concert footage.
  • The Atlanta footage documents an important stage in the band's growth, presenting 311 not only as a studio act but as a live band with a committed festival audience.

Lyrics

Now I know, fools get their own when they chit chat
Haven't heard yet but you can bet I'm not with that
With that talk with the digi walk
I stalk a bird you heard absurd word to the Fact
I'm a cat nippin sippin on the flask
Passin it talking shit but only if your ass
In front of me cause you could run from me but
In the end revenge send ends to the defendant
I can't get get caught in the spiral cause every bit of energy
It goes to my survival out my way
I'm a flicka flacka blotter ya try to find a weakness
But the shit keeps gettin harder
