2. Incubus was chosen as the name out of the two other suggestions Spiral Staircase (Brandon) and Chunk-o-Funk (Dirk).
3. Only the members of the band know the true meanings of S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and who Chuck is. I think it's Brandon's dad (check the running guy on the inside of Enjoy Incubus).
4. Brandon's brother Darren got drunk with Brandon one night and his dreads were no more. He claims he got rid of them becuz they smelled like pepper.
5. Mike was tricked into posing naked in socks, shoes, and his guitar for Guitar Magazine. It wasn't real though.
6. Kilmore was adopted and brought up by a white family in Pennsylvania.
7. Brandon has a dog named Sativa after Cannibis Sativa (marijuana) and Mike has two Yorkshire puppies, one which is named Oliver.
8. "Dirk Lance" is the name of a porn star...Alex Katunich uses it as his alias.
9. Brandon and Jose illustrated the whole "Drive" video--it took them over 50 hours!
10. Kilmore was very poor before he met Incubus...he was living in LA and used candles at night for light!
11. Mike is Jewish, Jose is Mexican, Kilmore is African-American, Dirk is Irish-Native-American-Croation and Brandon is a whole bunch of things, including Native-American. A very diverse band!
12. Mike lost a very close friend when he was in his early teens in a car accident. He locked himself in his room for two weeks and all he did was play the guitar.
13. Brandon, as well as playing the djembe and singing plays the didjeridoo and manages at the turntables.. Mike can also play the drums. Jose can play a bit of the turntables as well as the drums. Dirk is very good at his main instrument, the bass, as well as the guitar. Kilmore does all right on the didjeridoo! Very talented!
14. Kilmore claims he smokes 99.9% more weed than most smokers!
15. Brandon's brother Jason and Mike's brother Ben and their step-brother Paul Fried are in a band called Audiovent.
16. The Incuboys claim they don't like Fungus Amongus. I think it's a Sony-ploy because they didn't make the record with Incubus.
17. It's officially incubus, not Incubus with the capital I. They "officially" dropped it to a lower case i after Gavin (the former DJ [DJ Lyfe]) left the band after S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
18. Brandon was burnt by boiling water when he was very young. There's a scar near his right shoulder I believe...
19. Incubus Day is April 21: 4/21. It's the day after 4/20 and since a lot of incufans smoke weed it was incredibly convenient. Also, it relates to the song "Trouble in 421".
20. Brandon once said he'd marry the girl who talked about quantum theory in a bar with him.
21. Mike, Jose, and Dirk circle-jerked in eighth grade while watching porn together.
22. Brandon is a self-proclaimed lover of tea, but he hates green tea. Me too.
23. Brandon loves licorice, but only the natural, unsweetened kind. YUCK!
24. Only Mike and Kilmore are not tattooed. But I have yet to see Dirk's, and now he's out of the band : (
25. At the beginning of "Make Yourself" when Brandon is singing quietly, he is singing behind one of Mike's guitars. Check When Incubus Attacks Vol. 2 for proof!
26. Ben's mom was going to name him Aaron.
27. According to Jose, Ben likes horses.
28. Mike's mom is a musician.
29. When Mike was little, he played the piano and took lessons.
30. Mike plays bass as well, and often records both the guitar and the bass he plays at home in his recording studio.
31. When Mike was younger, he was addicted to his whammy (spelling?) bar, but realized he didn't need it after buying a new guitar.
32. The question "What would you do if you had 24 hours to live and where would you go?" was put to the boys. Here is Mikey and Brandon's respones:
Mike: Um, if I had 24 hours to live I would go to the Tower of Fiji where we're going day after tomorrow and, uh, surf my brains out and then have sex until I couldn't do it anymore because I was dead.
Brandon: Haha. Guess what I'd do...I'd wait for the 50-year swell and grow my hair out a little in the back and go to Australia on a rainy day when the police were pursuing me and wait there on the beach with my arms crossed waiting for my set.
Jose: Fishing moment kowabunga?
Br: No, not quite. But then, when my set would come and Keanu Reeves would try and come and fight me and take me back cuz he always gets his man and then I'd say, "C'mon man, where am I gonna go? Mountains on either side!" and then I'd paddle out and die on a wave.
M: Great acting.
Br: Remember that movie?
Ben: Neo would stop bullets with his teeth.
Br: Yeah!
33. When Immortal A&R guy went to the Hollywood Palladium to check out Blink-182 he signed the opening band, Incubus, instead.
34. In the orignial version of "Pardon Me" when Brandon says "and the perils of being in 3-D", he used to say "and the perils of being twenty-three".
35. On Mike's birthday last year Incubus played Madison Square Gardens, which to musicians is legendary. It was "musical pleasure."
36. Brandon's favourite on-tour moment was in Germany where it was a beautiful day. But, during one of their songs, the skies clouded over with ominous grey clouds. Then, it started pouring sideways, and there was a risk of electricution. But they kept playing and the crowd went wild!
37. Mike, Brandon and Ben are all vegetarians of some sort!
38. The New Album was finished being recorded sometime a little before October 24, 2003 in Atlanta.
39. While recording the New Album, a guy named Phil, who worked in the studio, would collect $3.00 from each of the guys and get them waffles from The Waffle House.
40. Most days, the guys spent 12-14 hours working on the New Album.
41. In Incubus' early days, the guys would stop at truck stops and buy fireworks. Then, they would go down the highway where no one was and blast them off at 2:00am.
42. Around 3 weeks before 11/19/03, Brandon was in a horrific accident involving his front yard, heavy wind, a palm tree and a ceramic planter, resulting in a severed Achilles tendon!!
