Does anyone know what Dirk Lance is doing now?

Just so everyone knows, Alex Katunich is playing live again. If you're as priveledged as I am to live in the southern cali area, you get to see him.

I posted three clips of him playing a show two weeks ago. You can see them on my myspace profile under the videos section. Link Removed

He tells me he'll be playing again sometime in June. I plan to video tape the whole thing and get an audio feed too. I'll make sure to post everything so people in other areas get to see him too.

Send me a message or something if you want me to e-mail you when I know more about the next show. K?

Go DIRK!

Last month when I spoke to him, he said he could potentially be playing with an ex-Fugee member, but that he didn't want to act like it was a done deal even though their is interest from both sides.
Actually, he just auditioned for Lauren Hill, but he said she was really wierd. I don't think anything came of it.
 
"I seriously, seriously hope he does a solo/side project, if that's what you could call it. If you have the "Morning View Sessions" DVD, and watch all the extras, Dirk/Alex freakin' RAN that band. He was the guy stopping and saying "Mike, that sucked" or "Brandon, dude, come on you can do that better". He really was on everyone's asses during the recording sessions and other clips show him writing a LOT of music for that album. It's this reason that I don't think it's really/or as much Kenney's fault that Incubus sucks now, but that they lost both one of the top bass players around AND an incredible songwriter. But, replacing someone of his caliber with a damn guitarist is just an insult to bassists everywhere. I boycott em. ********. Their new stuff is beyond pitiful. Not even worth a listen, IMO. And that's not EVEN comparing it to old Incubus- it in and of itself is just plain bad!"

You hit that right on the money guy. He was the primary song writer and I absolutely noticed that in the morning view sessions DVD. He does that with the new band too. Haha. Its great. I miss him in incubus though, just cause the music was so phenomenal.
