Para quem ainda tinha esperanças em ver os Incubus num festival de Verão este ano em Portugal, aqui fica a mensagem do responsável pela tour dos Incubus, ao Incubus Portugal:

"Unfortunately the band will not be coming to Portugal this summer. Hopefully we can book a show there next year. Portugal is a great country and the band really enjoys playign there."

Mensagem de Mike

Mike deixou um pequeno update sobre o que tem feito e o que podemos esperar nos próximos tempos:

"Hello Everyone. It's been awhile since I have updated anyone, on anything....So here's a little info for everyone on what i've been up to:

I have been working on an orchestral concert-piece for what seems like an eternity, and it is very close to being completed...this piece will likely be performed by a full symphony-orchestra at a Los Angeles concert venue sometime in August....the details are being ironed-out as we speak. I will keep everyone posted.

I leave for Venezuela in the morning, and I'm very happy to see all our friends there, and in costa Rica (for the 1st time!!!!!)

Cheers - Mike"

Mike Einziger e Tom Morello

Tom Morello, guitarrista e co-fundador dos Rage Against The Machine vai "lançar-se" numa mini-tour em Abril, e que focar-se-á principalmente na justiça social através da música e activismo local.

Morello vai ter consigo em cada data, vários convidados diferentes, entre eles, Ben Harper, Slash, Perry Farrell, Sen Dog dos Cypress Hill, Davey Havok dos AFI, Boots Riley dos The Coup, Maynard James Keenan dos Tool e Puscifer, Shooter Jennings, State Radio, Wayne Kramer que é fundador dos MC5 e claro está, o 'nosso' Mike Einziger dos Incubus.

"There has been much talk about change this election season, but real change must start with people, not politicians." Diz Tom Morello ainda: "No matter who is elected, we the people must create justice on the ground."

Tom Morello esteve recentemente em Portugal, na 1ª parte do concerto dos Dave Matthews Band, para apresentar o seu trabalho a solo 'One Man Revolution', lançado no ano passado.

"Each night of this tour is going to be a freedom party"
