Incubus
It's not too often that a band with a string of number-one singles stops to reconsider whether or not they're headed in the right direction. But that's exactly what SoCal hitmakers Incubus did, right about the time their "Love Hurts" single was sitting on top of the alt-rock charts (the most recent in a string of hits that began with 2001's "Drive"). The band - made up of founders Brandon Boyd (guitar/vocals), Mike Einziger (guitar) and Jose Pasillas (drums), along with bassist Ben Kenney and Chris Kilmore on keyboards - went on hiatus, agreeing that in order to write new material, they had to live a little. They came back with a renewed sense of purpose and entirely new ideas about what an Incubus record could sound like. Asserting that the aggressive walls of guitar they were known for can turn into a crutch, Incubus dared to go in a whole other direction on their new record, If Not Now, When? It's stripped down, half as loud and moody. But songs like "Defiance" and "Promises, Promises" are as catchy as the band ever was. Young the Giant opens.
311
Supporters of hip-hop, rock, funk, reggae, marijuana, sex and space aliens have always been well served by Omaha quintet 311. For more than 20 years now, Nick Hexum, P-Nut, Tim Mahoney and the rest of Clan Cornhusker have been shucking out feel-good vibes and high energy shows to their gluttonous herds of fans. After a four-year studio hiatus, which saw more than a few nasty rumors fly that perhaps the funk farmers had hung up their pitchforks, the boys returned in '09 with Uplifter and are using their gig at the Cat to kick off a spring tour. All that's left to say now is: "Yo P-Nut, beat that thing!"
