Incubus To Take A Break

Having just completed a year-and-a-half-long tour to promote their 2006 album "Light Grenades," the members of California rock band Incubus will take a break while they pursue a variety of academic and personal endeavors.

On August 23, guitarist Mike Einziger will unveil an orchestral piece in concert at UCLA's Royce Hall in Los Angeles.

The concert will serve as a precursor to his enrollment in Harvard's music school to study composition next year. But he's not the only one returning to higher education, as frontman Brandon Boyd also plans to enroll in a university art program.

"And, our drummer (Jose Pasillas) is having a baby, so there's a lot of normal life stuff going on right now - school, babies, mortgages," Boyd told Billboard.com.

The band does have one more gig on its schedule: the VH1 Rock Honors salute to the Who on July 12 in Los Angeles alongside Pearl Jam, the Foo Fighters, Flaming Lips and Tenacious D. But afterward, Boyd expects Incubus will probably lay low for an extended period of time.

"I'm of the mind to say it wouldn't be a bad thing to disappear for a year or two years," he says. "a lot of people would say culture moves too fast and you need to remind people, but i would argue there's not any rush. maybe they'll be a sex scandal or an arrest or something to keep us in the news."

Thanks for the info to Reuters.

"maybe they'll be a sex scandal or an arrest or something to keep us in the news."

go brandon! xD

as long as they get back together and write more music one day, its ok to take a break^^ hopefully their sound will change once more, they are one of the few bands that keep changing their style with every record.

and i would be really interested in hearing mike's symphony!

[elcapitan1800]

NOOOOO!!!!! Dammit, why does one of the only bands still making original music have to "take a break"??? I mean, dont get me wrong, I know they lives outside the band and whatnot, but what about my needs? Thanks for ruining my day UG...

[Moozze]

They better come back!

[TBezza]

:O Dammit!!

[algemar]

hahah sex scandal... 5th

[wicked_hobbit]

Oh man...this already happened to me some time ago when Yellowcard went on "indefinite hiatus".Good thing those great great albums by great great bands in September can make it up for me.

Btw, Mike's plan is very exciting!

[AboveTheBridge]

Good band

it aint ugs fault. dont get so pissed. this has happened to be a lot. they probably wont break up

[Soundwash22]

If mike goes back to school, I wonder how that will effect future Incubus music? I see them branching out even more now! Love those guys, gonna miss them for awhile.

[ninjaface]

Yay!!!!! Thank god. They're probably trying to figure out a way to fire the dude who does the dj scratching shit. That is so played out and frankly ruins the music. What do you do when your friend is in the band, but you just don't want him to contribute anymore??? They seriously need to get rid of that guy.

He plays lots of other instruments now and doesn't do "scratching shit". You're thinking of 90's Incubus.

[redkippersandal]

^shut up. Kilmore contributes alot more than "scratching" in incubus than you may know.

also, good for them if they wanna take a break. they deserve it!

[redkippersandal]

^^that was aimed at ninjaface. my bad.

[AnimatedHand]

noooo!! I love incubus they'd better come back soon

[SOTY13]

They just had a masssive break before Light Grenades

[SOTY13]

[cakeandpiemofo]

Bummer I love Incubus. But it will make all the more sweeter when they come back.

[JD89]

At least we know whatever they release, when they decide to record again, will be awesome

[raasbo]

I'm looking forward to Mike's orchestral stuff. I want to see what he can do.

[Tin_man]

There next album will be mind-blowing, because hopefully Mike (who's already a fantastic musician) will be fresh out of music school. That's so cool that he's doing that. I love this band, and was just thinking about what they were up to a few days ago... Kudos to the guys for realizing that their lives need some attention, too.

[ninjaface]

...

[nandezfranchise]

I'm pissed that i never got to see them live. Been one of my favorite bands for many years. Mike is one of the best guitarist in my generation.

I however didn't enjoy light grenades. I can see why they would want to have a break, and come with something newer and better down the road. So when they return i have big expectations. Hopefully i will get to see them live, even though i know they won't play the songs i want to hear by them.

[TGautier13]

First, ninjaface is an idiot.

Second, Incubus are past their prime. Light Grenades was mediocre. Don't get me wrong, their one of my top three best bands of all time, but they're trying to do something which they haven't been able to do well since the MY/MV era: right a good rock album. I think its clear to everyone, that if they branched out beyond trying to write another rock record, that they will produce much better music. They're crazy popular days are over, sadly.

[MetalliRage]

i really hope its only for a little while because the least band to say they r taking a break and said everything was cool wwas system of a dow and now a year later and they r saying they will probaly never reunite for a long long time.

[MetalliRage]

o yea. science and make yourself r 2 of my favorite albums of all time

You see, I think the fact that they aren't as popular as they used to be in a good thing. When I saw them earlier this year they played to about 3000 people and they were all fans of Incubus, not just Drive. Everyone knew all the words and it was cool.
They also have a greater license to create new exciting music without being chastised too badly by the public.
Also, they will be back. On the Look Alive DVD they said that they're enjoying making music as Incubus more than ever and they can see themselves doing it for the rest of their lives. And I believe them.

Best band ever.

[mosh_rocker2006]

I'm glad for them...even though i really love their music and it bums me out knowing i'll have to wait quite awhile for any new material, they've got their own lives to live. And honestly i'm pretty sure they don't care about some arrogant punk that is bitching about them taking a break. Sure they make music to please the fans...but they first off make the music for themselves. Good luck to them.

There goes my hope of an album with more songs like "psychocylocobin"

BAHAHAHA original music? incubus stopped making original music after they're second or third album. dont get me wrong, make yourself was pretty good, and morning view was worth a listen, but the last two albums they put out were god awful. listen to fungus among us and the science, THATS incubus

[jtrocks44]

i agree with mosh_rocker. the wait is gonna kill me, but they need to do what's best for them.

chris kilmore is a critical part of incubus's sound, just because your bias and dont like scratching doesnt mean they should kick him out of the band. being a good turntablist takes just as much as being a good guitarist (even though kilmore isnt that great of a dj, he's still needed in the band)

[JordanRiding]

It won't happen.

well it will, but they took an extended break inbetween LG and CROW, and it was a couple of years so no worries

recent coments by ben, he said they would be going into the studio soon.

It's nothing to worry about

No, its ALL incubus you idiot. Don't get me wrong, i love fungus amongus, and science, but you can't say they were just about the early stuff. The last two albums may have been awful in your opinion, but i think songs like sick sad little world, here in my room, dig and even pendulous threads are as good as those early albums.
Can't wait to hear how mike's new music education has an effect on their sound, which always seems to evolve.

and just because you think those songs are good, doesnt mean they were creative albums. to me it sounds like the newer stuff is just mike messing around on his guitar with a bunch of effects. the riffs aren't that exciting at all.
basically, i think they should all start eating mushrooms again, that would probably be the best musical choice for them

[areese82]

I really like Incubus. Their older stuff is better but Light Gernades was a great album. Hope the hiatus isn't too long.

[TGautier13]

@rage

mike uses only 1/4th of his effects nowadays. he said it himself in an interview

also, you're wrong

And just because you dislike them, it doesn't mean they weren't creative. Personally, i think there was more than just mike playing with effects. Kilmore has really stepped up with his talents as a multi-instrumentalist, ben kenney has clearly had an effect on the song writing, even if after dirk left mike became more prominent in that area. In terms of how we view the albums, we are just going to agree to disagree. Which is fine. I just think its a bit ignorant to say things like 'only old incubus is real incubus' and 'they should start eating mushrooms again to improve their music' (i realise i have paraphrased slightly).

[Ginger-les-tom]

ninjaface is a com,plete tool, kilmore is freekin awsome, if you love incubus then youll see what he brings to it, otherwise why have him in the band ? hope i get to see them one day great band, they deserve a break

[RUSTDOGG666]

Yes please take a break. in fact retire. incubus sucks. when they came to my town I stayed for every band and left before they started. The person I was with at the time didn't even want to stay for this band. and they listened to all that pop country bullshit. thats pretty sad. please just quit as a band altogether. not a single song you wrote is good.

[Spankyx2]

Let the shitty cover bands begin!

You sound like an incompetent tool, and not because you dislike incubus. You left before they started, and that makes them shit? And they have written very good songs, whether you like them or not, you narrow minded ****. I dislike a lot of bands, but i appreciate that their song writing is good. You, sir, are a fool.

[assparade69]

nooooo

i was looking forward to being able to see them again!!

[Cutlass_253]

To me, they have gotten better, just not consistently. Fungus Amongus was ehh...seriously, I didn't really enjoy it that much and a lot of the songwriting was pretty crap (what if I had a mustard drenched cucumber tied to my leg?). SCIENCE was awesome though. Then MY and MV, which were ok but MV was kinda boring compared to the others. But I absolutely loved ACLOTM. Best stuff yet. And Light Grenades had its moments, but it wasn't so great as a whole.

The fact that you left before they started proves you don't have the right to criticize them. You'll find that many people that don't like this genre still love this band because of the talent they have, not just with incredible songwriting, but also being on top live.

[AthenasGhost]

And be honest, you've probably listened to what... Half an album? Let me guess, you're a metal head with a narrow mind?

Fungous Amongous isnt that great imo. Science is ****ing awesome, major energy. Morning view and Make Yourself though are completely awesome in every aspect, i agree with you though, last 2 albums kinda suck alot.

I didnt really like light grenades, but I still love this band. This break better not be too long!

havent liked much since the old bassist left. rirk lance i think. he had some great slap lines...or is he still in the band?

[RUSTDOGG666]

what the **** guys? you all call bands like fall out boy shit so i'm just jumping in on another shitty band and you all get defensive? i've heard their music and its boring. i wouldn't have even been at the concert i saw them at but i did see some bands there that i did like such as papa roach. which has songs that are upbeat and catchy. incubus is just slow and boring. sorry but i have to say this is a band i hate. i'm sure you all have bands that you hate. this just happens to be a band that i hate. and if you don't like it then **** off.

[DirkLance]

Yes, I'm still in the band.

(lol.)

No, it's Ben Kenney.

And it's DIRK...not RIRK.

[RUSTDOGG666]

look at the other two articles i actually like tom morello and a7x so i'm not just hating everything here.

Papa Roach sure does have lots of catchy songs. But most of them sound the same.

Anyway, my point is, I'm not going to say you need to like Incubus, but you just overgeneralized, which makes you look uninformed and very tool-like. "Incubus is just slow and boring." Nice adjectives pal.

Some of their songs are faster than Papa Roach, so if that is a perfectly "fast" speed, then why is Incubus "slow"? Anna Molly is upbeat, and just try keeping up with the song Light Grenades. And those are from the new "horrible/slow" album.

Nobody is trashing you because you don't like Incubus. It's because you're close minded and nothing you've been saying points to anything otherwise.

[Deacon Blues]

talk about saying Fu** you to your fans. these guys went from hero to zero

[slaptasticdave]

I suspect Ben won't be returning, just a suspicion, but i think his solo project will take off and he'll rather do that, i hope im wrong tho

[GuitarSymphony]

Good for them.
They are heros in my eyes for getting a higher education and appreciating the lives they have by living it the way they want to.

Much respect.

[verona_bassist]

i respect the decision...i just hope they dont end up like No Doubt, who took a break...and..well, its been a long break

[Karmekarten]

Wow. So many people here are saying retarded things so if you are confused... This is the truth: Yes it sucks they're taking a break but they are people so they can do whatever they want and they deserve a break, Saying that their music is slow or boring means you haven't many of their songs and/or you have a terrible taste of music and haven't learned to appreciate good, original, talent filled rock. Also just to clear things up, most of their old albums were awesome, S.C.I.E.N.C.E. was super awesome, A crow left of the murder was Super Awesome Also (Arguably better than scince but it got bad reviews who knows why... so after a short break they made a more... Pop album to please the crowd), Light Grenades was a.. catchy, slower album and wasn't as good as the older ones but it was still good. Overall Incubus Rocks and I can't wait for their new material.

[nateman_30]

lol this is always how it starts, "creative break", then the "hiatus", then the split and forming of other bands not half as good, then a bunch of pissed off fans

[nateman_30]

rivers cuomo went to havard after taking a break with weezer, and their albums have generally gotten worse, haha, damn harvard

[tuwyci]

first album was so fresh at the time but they definately died with nu metal.

[AthenasGhost]

They admitted somewhere that the metal thing just died out, but I guess that's when happens when you get old. However, although their albums still slowed down they were all good in their own way, musically, the creativity and chemistry on every album was at its peak. I do think it died a little with light grenades but it was still a really good album, just not what the typical Incubus fan was expecting. But it was still an album that appealed to a variety of people and attracted thousands of new fans.

[AthenasGhost]

nateman_30 wrote:

Probably will happen, lol. But even so, they left us with quite a few good albums to listen to and they are a very fan friendly band, who're down to earth. Whatever happens I think there will be a lot of people pissed off but even more that understand that shit happens. I'm fine with not having another album because I've become to attached to all their previous albums.

[pinky_demon]

Ahhhhh! It seems like every time I get into a new band they go on a freaking break! I hate my life :[

[Anjohl]

I didn't evne know they were still active, so that sounds like a good idea. The last song I remember likin gby them was "Drive", and before that a Certain Shade of Green.

well then explain why everytime theres something about fall out boy on here everyones gotta post "oh i hate that band" are they all just close minded based off what you just said about me or do they really hate the band? it aint about being close minded cause i usually listen to many kinds of rock and metal but i'm sorry i just can't get into this band. i just get really bored when i listen to this band. sorry they don't appeal to me. and they never will.

[redhotsexmagic]

my two favorite bands are on indefinite hiatus now..chili peppers and incubus...what the EFFF???!!!!

[nicq2005]

This shows no matter what band is listed in an article people will automatically flame them. No matter how talented they are.
I know that bands can sell millions of albums through nieve people that listen to only singles on the radio.
But I only recall a couple songs by Incubus that have made it on normal airplay rotation. Which somewhat proves that they sold albums that were created through talent.

That really sucks that the peppers are on a hiatus.
My bands still around though which is nice knowing after news like this.

well you dont listen to alot of incubus obviously so rusty your opnion is uneducated, further more why do u even post on a bands news post that you dont like? and if your excuse is other people do it why shouldnt i? then you are a tool like dirklance said.
anyway off that topic good for incubus its good to take a break from your "Job" and pursue other endeavors whenever possible it makes the music you come back to make even better and you enjoy it more as well as appreciate it more

enjoy your break. i think it's ok. the main thing is, that the next album is good again! they also took a break years ago but i can't remember between which records!

[Sloane]

I think it's good for em. Get some time to relax and write more killer grooves in their spare time.

They deserve a break.

Thanks for the great music Incubus, enjoy your time off...

well bush i usually comment on all of the articles on here so when the bashing stops for most of the other bands that are posted on here then maybe I'll stop with mine but honestly everyone is entitled to their own opinion and mine is this band needs to quit. sorry if i'm sounding harsh but i dont care anymore. i hope they're done for good.

[RUSTDOGG666]

yes i've heard lots of incubus songs on the radio back then when i first heard of their existence i thought one or two of their songs was okay but then after that it went downhill and i couldnt get into them. it started with their stellar song. after that it was like no i can't listen to this anymore. f*ck this band. theres more of an honest criticizing opinion rather than just saying this band sucks. maybe you can appreciate that.

Your entitled to your opinion.

incubus sucks. when they came to my town I stayed for every band and left before they started.

This is just ignorant. And the reason you got jumped on.

I'm pissed that i never got to see them live. Been one of my favorite bands for many years. Mike is one of the best guitarist in my generation.

I however didn't enjoy light grenades. I can see why they would want to have a break, and come with something newer and better down the road. So when they return i have big expectations. Hopefully i will get to see them live, even though i know they won't play the songs i want to hear by them.

they took a long break before light grenades and they say that lg was theyre best in their opinion. but im sure they will come out with something good

Am I the only one who thinks light grenades is their best album? I mean, I love their older stuff, but to me light grenades and the rest of their newer stuff is by far the best. And trust me, they'll be back

id kinda agree with u...it rocked. i love the other albums 2!

OK this is it...dont slam incubus or other bands. They will be back...they arent a slow band just because they write some slow songs. Anna Molly Sick Sad Little World Certain Shade of Green? If you dont know these songs dont make uneducated statements. They truely are one of very few good rock bands in the biz anymore and thats the ballz of it. They cant keep making the same records over and over so u can bet the next one will different and also great.

Yay!!!!! Thank god. They're probably trying to figure out a way to fire the dude who does the dj scratching shit. That is so played out and frankly ruins the music. What do you do when your friend is in the band, but you just don't want him to contribute anymore??? They seriously need to get rid of that guy.

Kilmore is one of the main contributors to the band as far as uniqueness goes which obviously sets these guys apart...know what your talking about before you go bashing his style. The rest of the band members obviously along with tons of fans like Kilmore so you not liking him is not a huge deal.

Good for Mike he truly amazes me with his guitar composing abilities and also for brandon and the rest of the band see you guys in 2009!

NOOOOO!!!!! Dammit, why does one of the only bands still making original music have to "take a break"??? I mean, dont get me wrong, I know they lives outside the band and whatnot, but what about my needs? Thanks for ruining my day UG...

BAHAHAHA original music? incubus stopped making original music after they're second or third album. dont get me wrong, make yourself was pretty good, and morning view was worth a listen, but the last two albums they put out were god awful. listen to fungus among us and the science, THATS incubus

I agree I did not like ACLOTM but Light Grenades was very good and much better than Fungus are you kidding me but I guess thats the beauty of music you pick and choose what you like.
