Buy TicketsIncubus…the Grammy nominated five-man group that is considered as one of the most successful modern American rock bands of the last decade. Their style can be quite difficult to identify. Their music is an eclectic fusion of rock, metal, funk, hip hop, pop, and techno influences.
Among Incubus’ most popular tracks were Drive, Love Hurts, Megalomaniac, and Anna Molly- all of which were ranked high in the Modern Rock Charts. The group received a Grammy nomination for their work in their 2004 album, A Crow Left For Murder. Incubus’ sixth studio album, Light Grenades, debuted #1 at the Billboard 200.
Incubus has been nominated for numerous awards and has placed constantly on music and video charts. They have toured America, Australia, Europe and Asia- performing at sold out concerts in cities all over the world and 2015 will be no different with stops in Australia, Japan, Germany, England, Italy, Mexico and the United States.
Incubus announced they will release two EP’s in 2015 with the first Trust Fall (Side A) set for release in May. The first single, “Absolution Calling”, was released in February followed by the second single, “Trust Fall”, in March.
One of the greatest factors that shaped the band’s music and style is its members. Incubus is the perfect example of a band’s evolution through time.
THE BOTS: LOS ANGELES BROTHERS AND BANDMATES MIKAIAH LEI (LEAD VOCAL, GUITAR, BASS), AND ANAIAH LEI (DRUMS & PERCUSSIONS, BACKING VOCAL), RECORDED THEIR FIRST ALBUM TOGETHER WHEN THEY WERE JUST 15 AND 12. THEIR DISTINCTIVE SOUND BRINGS TOGETHER THE VERACITY OF GARAGE/PUNK WHILE PAYING HOMAGE TO THE AMERICAN BLUES AND BALLAD TRADITION. WHILE THE BOTS ARE DEEPLY INTERTWINED IN THE AMERICAN MUSIC NARRATIVE, THEY ARE SIMULTANEOUSLY CARVING OUT A WHOLLY NEW, POWERFUL, UNIQUELY PERSONAL STORYLINE THAT IS TRULY THE BOTS SOUND.
ALTHOUGH A YOUNG BAND, THEY HAVE ALREADY SELF-RELEASED THREE ALBUMS AND COMPLETED TWO VANS WARPED TOURS, TWO AFROPUNK FESTIVAL TOURS, COUNTLESS EUROPEAN FESTIVALS, AND SUPPORT TOURS WITH YEAH YEAH YEAHS, BLUR AND DAMON ALBARN’S AFRICA EXPRESS, REFUSED, AND BAD BRAINS, TO NAME A FEW.
FALL 2013 SAW THEIR DEBUT RELEASE WITH FADER LABEL, THE FOUR-SONG EP SINCERELY SORRY, WHICH SPURRED THE NEW YORK TIMES TO SAY, “THEY ARE ON THE CUSP OF STARDOM.” IN 2014 THEY HIT UP THE FESTIVAL CIRCUIT, PERFORMING AT COACHELLA, OUTSIDE LANDS, BONNAROO, RIOTFEST, SHINDIG, AFROPUNK, JAPAN’S SUMMER SONIC, SASQUATCH, FUN FUN FUN FEST, AS WELL AS NATIONAL DATES WITH DROPKICK MURPHYS.
THE BAND EARNED ABUNDANT PRAISE FROM ROLLING STONE (“MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED”), CREATIVE LOAFING (“ONE OF THE BEST YOUNG BANDS AT COACHELLA THIS YEAR”), BUZZBANDS.LA (“OFF TO A PERFECT START”), A FULL-LENGTH FEATURE IN THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, AND MORE.
All ages welcome.
