Incubus

The story behind the name is that apparently the band needed to think of a name fifteen minutes before their first show and, after a few failed choices, Mike looked in a thesaurus and chose "Incubus" almost at random.
Incubus sounds familiar. If you don't know this band, I'd say their sound reminds me of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They have the same energy, vibe and delivery. I've been eavesdropping on a few of Incubus' songs. I am glad to see Incubus write songs that are filled with more meaning than much of the pop music being released today. In particular, I've enjoyed their song 'Talk Shows on Mute' and 'Megalomaniac' from their new album A Crow Left Of The Murder and 'Warning' from the Morning View album (2001).

"Talk Show on Mute"

Take a bow, pack on powder,
Wash 'em out with buzzing lights,
Pay an audience to care,
'Impress me' personality
Still and transfixed
The electric sheep are dreaming of your face
Enjoy you from the chemical
Comfort of America
Come one, come all
Into 1984
Yeah, three, two, one
Lights, Camera, Transaction
Quick, your time is almost up
Make 'em forget that they're the moth
Edging in, towards the flame,
Burn into obscurity
Still and transfix me
The electric sheep are dreaming up your fate
And judge you from the card castle
comfort of America
Come one, come all
Into 1984
Yeah, three, two, one
Lights, camera...yeah
Come one, come all
Into 1984
Yeah, three, two one
Lights, Camera, Transaction
Lights, Camera, Transaction
Come one, come all
Into 1984
Yeah, three, two, one
Lights, Camera, Transaction
The foundation is canyoning
Fault lines should be worn with pride
I hate to say,
so much more
You're so much more,
so much more
endearing with the sound turned off.
