On Sunday, September 11th, California based rock band, Incubus, rolled into the Merriweather Post Pavilion in support of their seventh studio album, If Not Now, When? Opening for the tour is up and coming indie rockers, Young the Giant, who introduced Columbia, MD to their soul-seeking sound and got the crowd dancing with “My Body.”
Shortly before 9 PM, Incubus took to the stage, led by the voice of the band, Brandon Boyd, and his humble grin. The set kicked off with “Megalomaniac,”* and transitioned into “Wish You Were Here,” which Boyd dedicated to the victims of the September 11th attacks.
The night boasted a solid performance from the multi-platinum band including the passionate wails of Boyd and talented musicianship of members Mike Einziger (lead guitar), Chris Kilmore (turntable, keys), Ben Kenney (bass), and Jose Pasillas (drums). The evening concluded with a 3 song encore of “Pardon Me,” “Are You In” combined with a cover of “Riders on the Storm” by The Doors, and finally “Tomorrow’s Food.”
Incubus will be on tour through October. Check out the shots from the show below.
*Correction: Set opened with “Megalomaniac,” not “Talk Show On Mute.”
