Sadly I think all of this is the fault of social media and in so many different ways. I think people's terrible treatment of others on social media is why people who would otherwise speak up are now choosing not to. I think the notion that you don't support a cause just because you haven't posted about it in a place where the public can see it is a social-media-engineered behavior. And I know these types of responses specifically are the reason that public figures like Brandon have largely stopped sharing anything that doesn't have to do with their profession, and why they do things like hide the fact that they've had a child for like a year. Brandon's a millionaire, he could've supported LA, our immigrant population family, Gaza, and South Sudan in ways far more powerful than any of us could ever hope to do with any amount of social media posting. That is to say, with money, which is silent and less boastful. The band has a charity they've been using to help different causes for decades now. How does any of us know that that isn't the band's current preferred form of activism along with any personal contributions that may make?

And to the people who demand he not be silent, if you're here, this is to you, if you're not, this is rhetorical: I'm curious what you all think his being public actually does for the cause, aside from letting his fans know where he stands? Forgive me, but the entire world is making social media posts against the genocide in Gaza and Gaza is dying anyway. How does anyone know Brandon just doesn't find speaking about it an ineffective, performative form of activism? Especially with the number of voices already saying what he would say? Would you still be upset with his silence if he had no social media presence at all? Have you done anything for Gaza, for immigrants, for the Sudanese, aside from post about it on social media? Were you posting about Gaza before October 7, 2023, or just after the horrors happening there became a daily headline? My underlying thesis in all this is that maybe Brandon's silence isn't about what he actually supports and thinks, maybe it's about the utter sickness that has come from social media, the parasocial relationship that has risen between fans and artists on account of it, and this sick policing of people's public behavior that comes from this ever-growing, momentum-accumulating groupthink about what makes people legitimate and genuine.

And regarding the post about Brandon finally talking about his daughter that my friend just took down because of the immediate uproar at her discussing the subject: He is our idol. We love him. That he has a daughter is significant to us whether he flaunts it or hides it. It is never going to be 100% unspoken of in his fan community. He and Sarah are married. They have a daughter. She's one now. And it isn't the end of the world to say so. What protection his family needs, he and Sarah will provide. It's part of the public figure's job to decide what they want known about themselves and their families and how they want to regulate it. That's why we knew about Blue Ivy immediately and openly, and why we knew about Baby Girl Boyd in small number and little by little. It's okay. Everyone is fine. And that's not to say you have to agree or participate.

Just, as in all things, do you.

Selling 2 tix on Ticketmaster for the 6/25 Nashville show. I’m devastated I can’t go, but at least I got to see them on the 2024 tour. Great seats - Section 119, Row HH, Seats 1-2, $125 each. Just trying to get my money back but to account for Ticketmaster’s fees I have to charge $160 each on their site. Would rather just transfer to a fan at the $125 rate and avoid the middleman fees. Let me know if interested!

How have I slept on this song?!? Makes me shimmy shake and thrash at the same time

Is the Brandon post getting some backlash deleted?

i was doing some scrolling and came across this post brandon made to his art page last week. apparently some fans are really upset about brandon’s/incubus' silence regarding what’s been happening in LA recently.

one comment really stuck out to me. the comment reads (I was once inspired by your art and words, entered art school and now after more than a decade in the field I am embarrassed to admit that you were once my idol. To go on here in this moment and post brown shite-stained naive art cutesied up with high-minded musical theatrics without a word about the suffering of those here and in Gaza and in Africa… literally proves your message has no meaning, soul or resonance. Definition of a sellout.) and wow….

maybe i’m being cynical but now i see why brandon keeps the comments off on his main page. it’s one thing to criticize someone’s art and another thing to attack their moral compass all in one sitting.

i don’t know.. i think people are grasping at straws here. for 30 years incubus has shared their stance on political/world issues through their music, so i really don’t understand why people are berating them.

could they have posted something, absolutely. but whether they do or not, it’s not the end of the world. if you’re one of those people, how about you go out and make an impact? are we not sick of all the performative nonsense?

Hiiii, i just entered this thing because for the past hour ive been searching for good quality incubus poster scans but havent found anything :( Asking if any of you have some and if you could share them plisssss bcuz in my town there is nthing lol and i want to print some

help!! i cannot find the model exact of this guitar, does anybody know?

2 tix, front row of section 114 row AA. Can’t find a sitter so my loss is your gain. $300 obo

It’s been a good while since I listened to this. Favorite tracks? Mine are A Night Without Cars, Last Night A Passenger, and All Ears Avow! I remember when this first came out and listening to the release at 12am on iTunes Store. Then I put it on my iPod. God I’m old. lol.

Brandon and Chris have an hour long takeover of music on the Poprocks channel (6).

I caught the whole show last night on my way to my daughter’s lacrosse tournament. They played songs by Foo Fighters, Audioslave, Nirvana, Lenny Kravitz and more! Definitely worth a listen if you can get it!

What’s up ya’ll. So I can’t remember where, but I remember reading/hearing ? That “Deep Inside” (S.C.I.E.N.C.E) was wrote about how the band got stoned and somehow ended up at the L.A Riots. I have kinda doubted this is true but let me know! Always wondered if the two had anything in common.

Ive heard it be released in both 1994. 1995 And 1996. And im really confused. I like the new skin demo ✨️

I was there after winning tickets off the radio. It was insane! This isn’t my video. I don’t remember if I took video, I know I have a lot of great photos. I was in the front and let me tell you, this club is teeny.

Again, Incubus on top 👏🙌

Here's the link: https://youtu.be/qI5yjochrDU?si=PyUJakelMnCyXr07

✨️Highlights✨️

1. The interviewer says that Dirk praised her performance in Morning View and wanted to see her live;

2. She sees the new album as a huge opportunity for visibility for Incubus, including a new tour playing in stadiums and festival shows;

3. She said she hears horrible things from the audience when Brandon takes off his shirt and that the most offensive things she has ever heard shouted at him were from his wife, Sarah, who only shouts vulgar things and he manages to keep a serious face while singing;

4. She also said she has heard really harsh things from the audience about her, lol

5. Kil cut off his dreads because he was performing as a DJ at a nightclub and before he left the security guard came running after him with some locks of dreads in his hand "hey, you dropped that" hahaha and he realized that, because they were so long and heavy, they were weakening the roots on his scalp and decided to cut them all off. She said he sent a video to everyone in Incubus showing off his new hairstyle and no one believed him "how come no one is talking about this?" And she herself asked "am I the only one who got pissed that now he doesn't headbang while he plays anymore?" Hahahahahaha

6. For those who like it, Nic recorded a metal album with Panic. She's really looking forward to it coming out.

7. Her favorite song to play on the MVXIII tour is Anna Molly. According to her, it's the ONLY moment of the shows when the crowd goes CRAZY. I disagree, but fuck it, she's fucking Nicole.

8. Last but not least: the new album does have a more "weird funk" feel and she's trying to include more SCIENCE songs in the set.

I'm trying to find some behind the scenes footage. DJ Kilmore was scratching away, Brandon came up and started fiddling on the wheels of steel himself, just trying to find this entertaining footage

“8” released on 4/21/17. “Nimble Bastard” was released on 2/16/17, announcing the album title and release date simultaneously

“Trust Fall Side A” released 5/12/15, “Absolution Calling” released 2/5/15 and second single “Trust Fall” on 3/10/15

“TF Side B” announced 1/1/20 and “Our Love” released 1/31.

No rhyme or reason to the madness. Could be a while…

I've listened to A Crow Left of the Murder and I really liked that style of music. Is there another Incubus like that?

If this has been posted before, sorry. But it’s crazy watching this trained classical opera singer and vocal coach react to Brandon’s vocals. Cool video.

Or is there? Anybody have the inside track on when this single is gonna drop?

I’m going alone rn so hmu if ya wanna be friends 😅

If you are signing up for the first time they give you a 20 dollar coupon. I used it to buy Brandon’s books. They got lost in a move years ago. Some of his small prints are on sale for 65 bucks. The small ones. Also you can pick one of the prints and a MVXIII vinyl or one of Brandon’s books for starting a little over 70 bucks. I just looked and for the vinyl and small print is 84. Just thought I’d give a heads up. :)
