One of the singers for 311 -- an alternative rock band that sees itself as the next Grateful Dead because of its cult-like following -- has listed his Los Feliz house for sale at $2,195,000.

The band 311, which hails from Omaha, is spending most of the summer crisscrossing the country with Snoop Dogg on a tour that runs through Aug. 16 and ends in Hawaii. I've dusted off my earplugs in case they add Los Angeles.

 
Singer Doug "SA" Martinez, 38, hopes to sell his 3,145-square-foot Spanish colonial. The house, built in 1927, has four bedrooms and five bathrooms. A separate pool house can double for guests and groupies. The kitchen includes stainless-steel appliances. There is a 300-gallon saltwater aquarium, a brick circular driveway, two fireplaces, a saltwater pool and two custom-tiled balconies, one off the master suite. A custom-made Tennessee oak-covered patio has a dead-on view of the Griffith Observatory. The house features hardwood floors throughout, new copper piping and mahogany crown molding.

Martinez's nickname is partially a play on the Mexican Spanish slang term for "buddy." It also may refer to an out-of-body experience SA had in college, with the letters being an acronym for "spooky apparition" stemming from that experience. (We did mention that Grateful Dead comparison, right?)

Sandra Miller of Prestigious Westside Properties Inc. in Santa Monica has the listing.
