"We didn't know (Lewis) was such a big 311 fan. He really kicked a— on All Mixed Up," he says. "After he sang the judges said they didn't know who we were, and he said 'They're my favorite band. They're great.' It was the best publicity ever."
And after that, 311, in turn, became big Blake Lewis fans - "Nick went a couple of times to the tapings of the show and hung out with (Lewis) and made friends with him," Mahoney reports, adding that the diminutive beat-boxer also covered their version of Love Song.
"That was cool too. We were rooting for him. We knew another guy, Brandon (Rogers), who used to sing for Christina Aguilera. He's such a bad-a— singer, but he got voted off early," he says. "Blake brings a little more current, modern hip-hop influence to the show. It's nice how it worked out. He didn't win, but either way, he's going to have a good career. Hopefully we can get him out to one of these shows."
