Einziger said he and the rest of the band — frontman Brandon Boyd, bassist Alex Katunich, drummer José Pasillas, and turntablist DJ Lyfe — can't wait to return to the road, and plan to do so this fall. Incubus have tentative plans for a brief club tour around the album's release date that will likely be followed by a more expansive run of theaters in 2007.

Though for a moment I entertained the idea of Alex rejoining Incubus... and as much as I love his playing on the old albums, Ben is far more appropriate for the music they are writing now.
Just my 2 copper.

But I do sometimes miss Alexs more technical/slap style playing  . Come to think of it, Alex has a more supportive role in 'Morning View'.........
Maybe a solution is to have both of them in the band! IMO a good solution!

i always felt incubus was better with alex, they were more experimental and creative that way...their new stuff with ben kenney change the sound a lot...but maybe thats the direction they were heading...? anyways...better shutup before the alex vs ben debate gets started up again

Which in one way it's good because now it's accurate information. But on the other hand, they didn't even acknowledge the mistake. In the "good ol'" days of print journalism, they'd have had to eat a little crow and print a retraction or a correction.
Ah well, done and done.
