They also did the Warped Tour and then on July 3rd, they began the Ozzfest ’98 tour. In 1998, after touring with Sugar Ray and 311, and replacing DJ Lyfe with DJ Chris Kilmore, the band went on more tours with the likes of Far, One Minute Silence and Limp Bizkit. In September 1997, after much touring and recording for the Spawn soundtrack, the album “S.C.I.E.N.C.E” was released. These were the first recordings that featured DJ Lyfe and included re-recordings of 4 of their independent tracks and 2 recent ones. In January 1997, Immortal Records released the band’s first EP “Enjoy Incubus”. Incubus spent 1996 touring and gathered a huge fan following up and down the west coast of the United States. Immortal Records emerged the winner and a formal contract was signed. Then DJ Lyfe joined Incubus and they caught the attention of label heads leading to a bidding war. The album “Fungus Amongus” was released in November 1995. Some ten months later, after recording with Jim Wirt, Incubus released their first full-length album, under their own label called Stopuglynailfungus Music on Chillum. Mark Shoffner, a tour manager, made an offer to the band and in January 1995 the demo tape “Incubus” was released. Their first demo tape was released under the name “Closet Cultivation”. This turned out to be favorable and Incubus found time in their schedules to write, record and perform in 1994. While Brandon and Jose attended Moorpark Community College, Mike played with Alanis Morissette. During these years the band was playing at all-age clubs in San Fernando Valley and at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip. The next few years saw more songs being written such as: “Backwards” and “Miss Bliss”. In 1991, the band played their songs at parties and came up with the name “Incubus” going through a thesaurus. Other songs of this period include: “Purple Kool-Aid”, Sylvester Polyester” and the “Milkman Song”. The first song was called “Love Sick” and had elements of fuck and thrash.
Hence a band was formed and original scores were written. This helped them get a few spots to play at parties and they became the "entertainment for the neighborhood".Ī few months into this and Brandon was discovered as a vocalist.
They started off by playing Metallica and Megadeth cover songs. They decided to play music simply for the love of it. Later, while attending Calabasas High, the pair became friends with bassist Alex Katunich. Wright Middle School, Jose met with met guitarist Mike Einziger, who liked to spend most of his time playing guitar in his bedroom. Vocalist Brandon Boyd and drummer Jose Pasillas were together in elementary school.
