While attending school at Casabasas High School, Brandon Boyd, Jose Pasillas, and Mike Einziger formed the band with Alex Katunich. They started out as “The Kansas City Shuffle”. During their high school years, they enjoyed playing clubs and private parties. They created a demo with three songs titled, “Closest Cultivation”.

In 1994, Joanne Stanulonis booked them doing shows at The Roxy, The Whiskey, and the Troubadour. Joanne had contacts that could allow the band to play in such clubs since they were minors and were not allowed to walk through the door.

In 1995, they finally landed a contract with Immortal/Epic records. While under this contract, they toured through 1996. Their album “Enjoy Incubus” was released in January of 1997. After the release, they landed a tour with the legendary group Korn.

They released their second album, “S.C.I.E.N.C.E.” in September of 1997. This led to them touring with 311 for an expected 2 weeks. This went so well they were asked to stay and tour for 6 weeks total. They have gone on to tour with Far, System of a Down, Korn, Black Sabbath, Family Values Tour, Ozzfest, and the Warped Tour.

The band toured throughout 1998 and sold over 100,000 copies of “S.C.I.E.N.C.E.” and they had no radio or television support. They did it all on their own. The group took off some time from touring to work on their next album, “Make Yourself”. This was released on October 26, 1999. They again toured after the release of the album with Primus and Buckethead to the end of the year. This album hit gold status by the end of 2000.

Continuing success of the band while touring and producing hit after hit led to 3 more albums including “Morning View” was released in 2001, “A Crow Left of the Murder” in 2004 and “Light Grenades” in 2006. The singles from the last three albums have hit the charts. They were, "Wish You Were Here" in 2001, "Warning", "Nice to Know You", "Circles", and “Are You In?” was all in 2002, “Megalomaniac” and “Talk Shows on Mute” were 2004 releases, and “Make a Move” was 2005 and 2006 was “Anna Molly”. 2007 brought two hit singles, “Dig” and “Oil and Water”.

Incubus is touring the Light Grenades tour right now and they will be coming back to the states to do more theatres. They are excited about doing them because they have not played them in ages.
