Incubus





It all started at the age of 17, when I heard "Morning View" album. I was hooked on the track 'Are You In' , and I remember that was a new track that had been added to the album. So this one time my brother mentioned "Hey KROQ are giving away tickets to see 2 shows of Incubus, 1 private show at a secret mansion".


So one day I was determined to win tickets. The way it worked was if you were to hear an incubus song you would have to be caller 20. So then it was 5:00 pm where I kept calling and BAM! Jed The Fish answered and said "You're caller 20. I just remember screaming, and the guy next to me looked at me all strange....lol... The best part was that I won the tickets on my bday month. The prize was 2 concerts, one at the Verizon Amphitheater on Halloween night. The second show was private in a mansion in Point Dume, where they had recorded the album Morning View.


The most memorable moment was the private show, because I got to shake hands with the band members. Not only did I have FRONT ROW both times at the concerts. It was my very first concert and I started with a BANG. They had sounded exactly the same LIVE just like in the album.


Incubus major label debut landed in 1997 with 'Enjoy'. Later that year, with the release of S.C.I.E.N.C.E. By 1999 Incubus made it in the mainstream scene. In the summer of 2000, they had main stage at Ozzfest. Which exposed Incubus even more.


In 2003, the band made several changes. One was including the replacement of member Dirk Lance with Bass Player Ben Kenney. Ben is a former guitarist of the funk,hip-hop group The Roots. The band Incubus has been around since 1991. Incubus is an American Rock band from Calabasas,California. That's right folks they're from Cali =]]]]

Band Members: Brandon Boyd (vocals), Mike Einziger (Guitar), Jose Passillas (Drums), and Ben Kenney (Bass). The band expanded to include Alex 'Dirk Lance' Katunich (Bass) and Gavin 'DJ Lyfe' Kopell, both of whom were replaced by Ben Kenney and Dj Kilmore.
