Incubus originated in a garage in Calabasas in January, 1991. Began playing small clubs and parties, then graduated to Hollywood gigs opening for ego/hair bands. Released independent record entitled Fungus-Amongus and began making waves. Got signed about two years out of high school. Put out a six-song EP of demos, 'Enjoy Incubus' and went on tour with Korn in Europe.

First full-length album, S.C.I.E.N.C.E., released September 1997. Toured behind S.C.I.E.N.C.E. for two years with Sugar Ray, Limp Bizkit, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Korn, 311 and others. Came home and wrote new album for eight weeks. Had collective nervous breakdown.

Make Yourself recorded every day for nine weeks in Summer, 1999. Album co-produced with Scott Litt (R.E.M., Nirvana, Days Of The New), mixed by Rick Will and Scott Litt. Brandon - "lead singer, sex god and top geezer" - says the record "attests to the fact that as musicians, they have found happiness and contentment in being a hard rock band that didn't feel the need to be the hardest, with the most strings tuned down with the riffs that made the crowds bounce the highest.

Brandon goes onto say, "all of that is good and fun but I believe that upon finishing this record Incubus has come to terms with where and what we always wanted to be as a band: heavy, melodic, diverse, plugged-in yet detached, thought provoking, thought out but spontaneous, observational, silly and slightly intelligent."

PLEASE NOTE: March/April 2007 UK dates are to be rescheduled... tickets remain valid for new dates.
