Incubus was formed in 1991 by vocalist Brandon Boyd , guitarist Mike Einziger , bassist Alex Katunich and drummer José Pasillas, while the members were in high school. They existed as a band for some time before they gave themselves a name, having only chosen the band’s name “Incubus” when required to supply a band name for an upcoming show. The band’s early shows were frequently at nightclubs on Los Angeles ‘s Sunset Strip , including such well-known venues as the Whisky a Go Go , the Roxy and the Troubadour. Early on the members of Incubus bonded over Phish and Primus and used their grassroots approach as a model for their career.
