Incubus expands….again.
We last left off with Incubus releasing “Make Yourself” and going on Tour with Primus and Buckethead.
That tour lasted all through 1999, and starting in early 2000, Incubus went out again with System of a Down and Mr Bungle (If you have never heard Mr Bungle, you don’t know what you’re missing. Mike Patton is legendary.) until March, when Incubus hooked up with label-mates Ultraspank until April.
“Make Yourself” went Gold Status after only 7 months in stores and had at least three hit singles, including “Stellar”, “Drive”, and “Pardon Me”. The acoustic version of “Pardon Me” was huge in 2000, and due to the success of the band thus far, Incubus re-released “Fungus Amongus”, since fans were having a tough time finding it in stores in November of 2000.
Just before that, in August 2000, Incubus released “When Incubus Attacks, Volume 1″, which contained acoustic versions of songs from “Make Yourself”. It sold 40,000 copies in 7 days, popping them to Billboard’s Modern Rock chart quickly.
