INCUBUS TOUR 2011

IF NOT NOW, WHEN? The most poignant question I've been asking myself for the past three years, and after more than a considerable amount of anticipation it's finally here. Incubus announced a 6 venue tour in a few incandescent venues around the UK. Admittedly I was a little sceptical (if you've heard their latest album you'd understand) but nevertheless, they are my favourite band. Always have been, always will be.

The last time I saw Incubus was way back in 2007 at the Birmingham NEC during their Light Grenades tour, and despite the magnitude of bad reviews they received for conceiving, well let's say, a less than great album, Brandon and the boys put on a mind blowing show. Shall we even go as far as saying a tear jerking performance? Yes, I admit it, I cried.

But with their follow up album being criticised left right and centre for lack of any sounds reminiscent of the old Incubus we know and love, it's unlikely this will be a sell out tour. The good old days of Make Yourself and Science are to be put in the past, though sorely missed. The new sounds of Incubus are here and they are to be embraced. And with open arms I will.
