It seems like a lifetime ago when I last joined this pink meme + today I am excited to write about my pink share 😀
I have been frequenting this new site, incubushq.com, of late. It came as quite a surprise that this rockin’ rock gods chose pink to be the banner color of their new site, but I love it! + I think the color combi rocks 😉 They have chock full of the latest tidbits + news on my favorite band. They also show live interview and impromptu performance from the band. A lot of fans from all over the US are flocking the head quarters, which is said to be located somewhere in California, to see the boys! Heck, if I live around the neighborhood, I’d probably spend my afternoon, yep with Jared tuck in my arms, at the new incubus digs! ;D
Earlier, I was able to watch a live streaming of the band’s Morning View Top to Bottom performance. Tomorrow, they will be playing something else. So I will make sure to check out the site regularly! This is a great warm up for their upcoming Manila concert in 28 July! I just can’t wait + I really need to brush up on the old songs’ lyrics as I have forgotten some of them!
So, to all the incu-nutters out there, check out the HQ whenever you can. You just don’t know what might be in store for you 🙂
I posted a few weeks back that my most favorite band of all (okay my other most favorite band of all ;)) is coming over to the Philippine shores for yet another rockin’ + explosive show on July 28, 2011. If Not Now, When? World Tour 2011-2012 is in support of their brand new studio album (which is their first in 5 years!) of the same title which will be released on July 12!

This will be the 2nd time they’ll be playing the Araneta (+ the 3rd time they’re playing in Manila, + the 3rd time I’ll be watching, too! Woot!) + I bet multitudes of Incu-addicts will flock to watch their demi-gods perform, of course, myself included, although am just not sure if I can afford to shell out that much for a front row seat this time. Apart from now being officially jobless, I am only imagining how many packs of diapers + cans of milk formula I can buy with that amount + am beginning to convince myself that I think I’d settle for a much affordable ticket this time around (with a chance to meet the guys backstage, I’m hoping ;))!
Regardless of your seat location, I bet everyone will have a good time listening to the boys perform their hearts out. I can’t wait to hear the new songs from the new album played live, as much as I can’t wait to hear my old all-time favorites being played too! I hope they play The Warmth, New Skin, Oil + Water, Diamonds + Coals, Rogues, A Certain Shade of Green. Ohh, I can go on + on forever, but I know they’d only play about 20 songs + it won’t matter which one since they are all my favorites anyway! 🙂
I know all of us Incubus fans are on the edge of our seats, tottering in anticipation-madness, until July 28 finally arrives, but more the meantime, let us relax + enjoy the gloomy weather whilst listening to this second single off the If Not Now, When? album. Here’s a little background from Brandon about the story of this song (from mtv.com):
“I’ve kind of played with the idea of storytelling before, but never so precisely as I have on this album … [on] two songs in particular: ‘Promises, Promises’ and another track called ‘Isadore,’ ” he explained. ” ‘Promises, Promises,’ is a story about a girl and a guy — go figure — and the girl has built up so much armor around herself with the things that she knows how to do.
“And so, I used these metaphors in the song of, like, magic, like she’s an illusionist, so she creates these illusions around her,” he continued. “And she’s gotten so good at it that she meets somebody who potentially could be someone that could help her break through those illusions and those walls, she can’t really recognize that he could be the real thing, or they could be the real thing, so she’s asking him for one thing: ‘Don’t make me any promises.’ “
Here’s Brandon’s two-cents on the new album (also from mtv.com):
