Vocalist Brandon Boyd and drummer Jose Pasillas went to elementary school together. In middle school, they met guitarist Mike Einziger, who spent most of his time playing guitar in his bedroom. Then, in high school, the trio became friends with bassist Alex Katunich, who was playing in a jazz band. In 1991, in the 10th grade, the four friends from Calabasas, California, decided to form a band, simply because they loved to play music – Incubus (Latin for nightmare).
In July of 1997, Incubus collaborated with DJ Greyboy to put the song “Familiar” on the Spawn Soundtrack. On this CD were a bunch of great bands – from KoRn, to Filter, to Metallica.

In September of 1997, the band headed out with 311 and Sugar Ray. They were only supposed to be on the first leg of the tour. Things went so well and the response to Incubus was so great, they were asked to stay on for the remainder of the tour. While touring the US and Europe, fans of 311 and Sugar Ray saw Incubus and were amazed.
In February of 1998, the band asked their DJ, DJ Lyfe (Gavin), to leave the band. They asked DJ Kilmore (Chris) to fill the position. After this very productive tour and DJ replacement, the band began tours with many bands – Snot, Hed(pe), System of a Down, Limp Bizkit, and others.

On October 26, 1999, Incubus released Make Yourself. Immediately after the release of Make Yourself, the band headed on tour with Primus and Buckethead. After releasing “Pardon Me” as a single and having MTV pick it up as buzzworthy and Spankin’ New Music, the band headed out on the Sno-Core Tour with System of a Down, and Mr. Bungle. During this time, “Pardon Me” was being played all over the country.
In the fall of 2000, the band went on tour with The Deftones and Taproot. The band re-released the album Fungus Amongus on November 7th, 2000, with the same artwork, and track-listing as before. During the same year Incubus began touring once more with Hundred Reasons in Europe.
At this time, the band was invited to play with the Area 1 Festival, which featured Moby, Outkast, The Roots, Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox, and Nelly Furtado. Make Yourself was certified double-platinum, selling 2 million copies.
The band got to play their first shows in Australia and Japan, before returning to the United States to begin their headlining tour with their long-time friends from California, Hoobastank. Meanwhile, the band’s video for “Drive” was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award in the category of Best Group Video.
To begin 2002, Incubus was No. 9 with “Drive”, No. 12 with “Stellar”, No. 20 with “Wish You Were Here”, No. 75 with “Nice To Know You,” and No. 31 with the album Morning View.

On January 24, 2002, MTV’s TRL premiered the “Nice to Know You” video, and Boyd called in from Europe where the band was on tour with 311 and Hoobastank. The band was then featured on MTV’s Becoming, TRL, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and played the Late Show with David Letterman on February 14, 2002, all before heading off to play dates in Japan and Australia for the remainder of February and March.
In February and March 2008, Incubus hit the road again, starting in New Zealand and headlining the Soundwave festival in Australia alongside Offspring and Alexisonfire, and toured Asia, performing to sell-out crowds.
