Shaqeel has a small street store near CST station in Mumbai. He’s been selling pirated films for over a decade now. He started off selling video cassettes in his youth. He graduated to CDs when the CD got popular, the DVD when the format gained momentum, and has stayed true to the format ever since. His clientele are collectors, who want rare films as opposed to casual buyers. “The business isn’t great. At times, we don’t even make bohni (the first sell of the day is called ‘bohni’ and is considered auspicious by traders), but other days we [...]
Avicii made a splash at Ultra Music Festival last weekend when he brought a slew of live musicians to the main stage to perform music from his forthcoming album. Of those artists were country legend Mac Davis, Incubus members Mike Einziger, Ben Kenney, and Jose Pasillis II. This was no a random festival charade - these were the artists (among Nile Rodgers and Mike Shinoda) that have contributed to the album's production . In a recent interview with KROQ, Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger opens up about his experience working with Avicii in the studio, joining him at Ultra last weekend, and [...]

Trust us. We're experts. (And so are u!)
( image from Remo ) Jose Pasillas has developed into one of music’s most prolific drummers since picking up stick at the age of 16 in Calabasas CA. as one of the founding member of Incubus. His art has been used extensively by the band on album covers and CD’s and now Pasillas will see his love of art and music combined by SceneFour in the collection “Abstract + Rhythm Landscapes” being released on November 1st. The collection will be limited to 100 pieces and, from what Jose tells me, will range in [...]

For the sake of transparency, I’ll admit that I hadn’t listened to any of Linkin Park’s new material until seeing them live at Rogers Arena on Tuesday night. When I was first offered the opportunity to review the Honda Civic Tour, which also featured American rockers Incubus and Mute Math, I agreed because Linkin Park's debut album Hybrid Theory encouraged me to paint my nails black and wear a leather bullet belt to Junior High School. I really wasn't aware that the boys from Agoura Hills, California were still selling out stadiums. But to my surprise, LP [...]

By Phil DeSimone On a typical hot and humid day in Houston, the Honda Civic tour feat MuteMath, Incubus and Linkin Park came rolling through and heated things up a bit more. This shorter than average summer tour had been the talk of the town amongst the locals and critics alike. MuteMath kicked things off with a short 30 minute set. Despite the heat, the band came out decked in business-casual attire and got the crowd a lil more sweaty. ...
Incubus – Incubus HQ Live Special Edition (CD Set) I’ve always felt a little bad for California’s Incubus (though not too bad, once you factor in all the money they raked in and the hot and cold running groupies… but I digress). Coming on the radio in the mid-to-late-90’s their record label took the easy route and simply tried to cram them into a [...]
Look, I am sure it happens. You are in a touring rock band -- a major one at that -- and the days they run together. Hours pass by and the next thing you know it's two months later, and you have... Continue reading "Incubus' Brandon Boyd Played Dallas, Um, Houston Last Night " >
Brace yourselves, I’m about to get sentimental. The year was 2004 and I was at the peak of my emo-wannabe phase. I remember spending countless hours listening to Numb by Linkin Park and lusting after Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy. While I’ll admit that was a particularly confusing time in my adolescence, one cannot deny that Linkin Park knows how to throw down. Need I remind you of that collaboration album they did with Jigga that went on to sell almost two million copies in the United States alone? [...]
Tomorrow night, Incubus performs up in the Woodlands, flanked by Mutemath and Linkin Park for the 2012 Honda Civic Tour. On paper, it's a pretty odd lineup. But, at the suggestion of vocalist Bran... Continue reading "Incubus' Brandon Boyd On Music, Imagination, And Moustaches" >

It's funny that every week there's a different trend in new metal releases: fresh batches of black metal, then stoner metal — hell, last week was a hair metal symposium. And this week's thread is gloomy, depressing Shit That Comes Out Today and that's A-OKAY with me, cause I'm one gloomy mofo. Somber tears and boundless [...]
Muchas bandas después de estar años juntos sacando discos, realizando giras y sin separarse por más de unas cuentas semanas entre trabajo y trabajo, deciden tomarse un tiempo porque, de otra manera, se terminarían matando. Ahora la gente de Incubus reveló que, después de la gira veraniega que están realizando, dejarán de hacer música por un tiempo que, por ahora, es indeterminado. El quinteto californiano que lanzó en julio del 2011 If Not Now, When? realizó el anuncio de manera oficial y, al parecer, todo apuntaría [...]

In particular, Brandon Boyd talked about the difference between being on a label in the age of the CD versus today's world as he faces life without a label. In the interview *, Brandon Boyd discussed not only Incubus taking a break [...]
