Incubus x 2

Incubus
When: Friday, October 7, 2011 and Saturday, October 15, 2011
Venue: Hollywood Bowl (10/7) and Verizon Wireless, Irvine (10/15)
Accompanied by: Gabrielle
Genre: Rock


Couldn't ask for a better partner in crime...I owe my love of Incubus to Gabrielle and will eternally be grateful. The Hollywood Bowl show was a bit exhausting - being on a Friday night, after a full work day and hopping on a bus from Lakewood. We arrived just in time before the band took the stage. An absolutely gorgeous night surrounded by thousands of fans. The following week in Irvine was pretty much the same, but a lot less road to travel to and from. 


Having come in a bit late to this band, it seems that I've entered into the more mellow sounds of Incubus. And I like it plenty. However, reading reviews from long time fans, the newer sounds don't appear to hold the same appeal. Regardless, it has been a delicious journey traveling back through albums prior to 2009 only to discover that I like pretty much everything this band has done. And chances are I will like all they continue to do. I guess I'm easy that way.
