EspañaDebut of Original Orchestral Composition
07/02/08
Michael Einziger, guitarist from the Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum rock band Incubus enters a new realm with the debut of his first original orchestral composition, “End.>vacuum,” at UCLA’s famed Royce Hall on August 23.
Unlike the full scale world tours that many Incubus fans are used to, “End.>vacuum” will be a one time only affair and the only place to see the performance is in Los Angeles, CA. But just because you don’t live in LA does not mean that you can’t get tickets.
Now, we can’t fly you here, put you up, or feed you, but if you are a devoted Incubus fan who just can’t bear the thought of missing this performance and you can get to LA on your own, we’re going to give you a chance to have TWO FREE tickets to the show plus passes to the post-performance reception waiting for you when you arrive.
That’s right, we are holding tickets to cover a winner and guest from each US state (including Alaska and Washington, DC) and from each country outside the US that Incubus has ever performed in over the course of their career. CLICK HERE to view the complete list of valid markets.
Here’s the deal, if you’re as hard-core of an Incubus fan as you think you are – PROVE IT! Send us a video explaining why you deserve two free tickets to see Mike’s opus more than anyone else in your state or country. Mike will review each video received and reward the most deserving fan with two free tickets to the show. In addition to the concert, you will gain access to the exclusive post-performance reception, where you’ll hang with Mike and other music luminaries while enjoying c**ktails under the stars on a gorgeous summer evening in Southern California.
Additionally, every fan that enters the contest will automatically qualify for the “End.>vacuum” presale. So even if you don’t win the two free tickets, you still get first crack at the best seats in the house just for playing the game. A unique code will be generated for each participant and emailed back to them after successfully entering the contest. From July 22-25, fans can enter their unique user code at www.ticketmaster.com and purchase tickets before the on-sale to the general public on August 1st. The presale ends at 6 PM (Pacific Time) on July 25.
Now for the “fine print”: In order to qualify for the TWO FREE tickets, fans must upload a video to www.youtube.com/group/endvacuum explaining why they deserve the tickets. Once the video has been successfully uploaded, you’ll send an email to contest@endvacuum.com with the following requirements:
1) Legal Name
2) Permanent Address
3) Phone number
4) Attached PDF of a valid (non-expired) passport
5) US citizens must include the name of their State in the subject line of the email. International citizens must include the name of their country in the subject line of the email.
6) Link to video submission – videos must be uploaded to: www.youtube.com/group/endvacuum
7) Please DO NOT provide any information in addition to what has been requested.
Emails with inaccurate or incomplete information will not be considered.
9) More than one email from any applicant is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate disqualification.
10) All emails must be received by Midnight PDT, July 15, 2008. Emails received after the deadline will not be considered.
Additional Rules:
1) Each applicant is responsible for their own accommodations and transportation to the show.
2) Winners must be able to provide proof of travel documentation by August 15th to ensure that no tickets go unused.
3) Please do not submit a video for consideration if you will not be able to attend the show.
4) Applicants whose videos are chosen, but unable to attend, will automatically forfeit their TWO FREE tickets to the next best video from the same market.
5) Each winner’s tickets will be made available for pickup at the Royce Hall box office on the night of the show under the legal name that was provided in the original email submission. Valid photo ID is required for pickup.

i loved bhi and midnight swim is still growing. tell me, are you guys going funk metal again or are you staying with the alt metal you guys are awsome so im sure you will find away to make the funk metal intellegent.....bus
Why not try and (re)make yourself?
As any avid (or passive) Incubus listener knows, there are few greater joys in life than losing oneself in the magical audible excursion of Mike, Jose, Ben (or Dirk), and Kil's melodic (or ravaging-- in a good way) musical bedrock upon which Brandon's illustrious inflections carry one's soul into realms of indiscernible aural illusions.
But now let me put away my thesaurus and soapbox for a moment if I may. I MISS THE OLD INCUBUS! Don't get me wrong, Light Grenades has its moments, and it deeply reflects the issues and emotions paramount to the band during its conception. But it's soft... a little too soft for my (and hopefully Incubus') liking when reflecting upon the days of yore: Fungus, SCIENCE, Make Yourself, Morning View and even Crow.
Incubus, I know my opinion has no real influence on the songs you will create in the many days, months and years ahead. But I do truly hope that you may find a way to get back in touch with your original roots-- the roots that thrusted you to the forefront of rock in the beginning, so we may all bask again in the glory of what was. And hopefully what will be...
about the album
i used to be a listener of your music, but as i hear more im now addicted and its all have a sense,
keep it up guys lots of us are your fan of,
yoko of philippines
Whoa.
Guys! You're crazy.
Mike has set up this contest for you all and you're whining about it.
He said two persons of each state, and each country they had a concert - imagine just how many people that means.
I don't have the money to go to a real concert in my own country, but it's alright. I'll get emo about it later.
I can't even imagine myself raising the money to go to LA, let alone the organizers who should pay the transportation for hundreds of people. If they paid the transportation you'd probably be all like "Why doesn't he pay my hotel as well? I can't spend the night on the streets." Geez.
asdfghjkl;
This contest is a bunch of bologna.

nice
a nice effort for reaching out to your fans. i appreciated the gesture of you, giving away 2 free tickets.as you've said, hardcore fans will find a way to go. yes, the reality that not everyone can afford to go even if there had been tickets is obvious..but to think, that is the responsibility of the fans--- to find a way.(although we should all remember to find a way in a good manner.. )
i mean, if they will be shouldering all the expenses, fans would probably kill for that opportunity.

If only:
If only I lived on the West Coast. If I had no self respect I'd sell myself all the way there. What if I take pictures instead, can I go? That'll be my payment for the fare! I have been broke ever since Hurricane Katrina tore my life up:

"Forgiveness is giving up all hope for a better past..."
A Simple Question.
I, unlike many of these whiners, have simply chosen to ask if there will eventually be a DVD or CD made for this amazing event. incubus, your music moves my soul in a way that nothing else can, and I'm certain that any orchestral modification to your creative productions would move me just the same. Sure, I would/will kick myself for missing this, but the high spirits know that i will move on, because this is so unfeasible for me to attend. So, I'll ask a final time to incubus: Will I be able to look forward to a way to let Mike's sounds take my body over again?
Thank you for your wonderful contributions to my life through music. It's in irreplaceable feeling.
Count on me being at every concert in my area, as I have been thoroughly pleased with you thus far.
'Bless.
is it a test?
is it a test if u r a really die hard fan? wow! we r in asia.. and we dont have the money,, how can we fly there (can we just swim)? two tickets are good, but two plane tickets are damn expensive...
i wanna go!
That would be amazing, Mike is a genious. I'm so sorry i missed the cutoff already......and to the person below me, you're obviously not a real fan, and also don't understand the concept of a live show and why they can't be topped by YouTube.
rofl
What a shame.
I betcha that concert or whatever will be on youtube!
Why waste time on make a damn video to win some tickets when you can watch it without paying, anyway?
This contest is such a drag.

MIKEY! PICK ME!
I just submitted my entry.. I hope Mikey picks it! =)

gimme a break...
Now, i do take pitty for those of you who may not make it to the show because you live over seas and dont have the money. But for those of you who are whining about not having the money and live here, its pretty rediculous. I dont have the money as well. But sitting here calling the band and mike a disapointment is way over the top. Did you not watch the video on youtube of his interveiw, hes paying through the nose to even do this, im sure if he could he would pay for the transportation too! He even says one of the reasons he may not take it further was the cost of the tickets ppl would have to pay, now does that sound like a greedy, selfish bastard to you? If you think about it, its pretty great he's even doing this, giving two lucky people tickets AND the chance to meet him is pretty stellar. So i suggest you people quit being immature babies about it, and find a side job to earn the extra cash you may need if you win. Dont mean to be harsh, but the people who posted those comments without the complete facts werent any better.
That's true!
I agree with milk_sh4k3r!!
Maybe some of us just don't have enough money for both things: daily living, and plane tickets.
It's really frustrating the fact that we REALLY want to go, but we can't afford it...
But I have the best wishes 4 Mike!! I won't be there, but I hope everything comes perfect!!
Love u all !!
work for it
hey, wrp9721. i understand that you're saying we should
work and try our best if we are, in fact, die hard fans.
here's what you should've thought before you wrote your comment.
should i work my butt off to make some money and then spend it
on a plane ticket when i actually need it for daily living?
where is the logic to the rules of this contest?
thank you for being one sided >=)
besides, i said i'd do it anyways despite it all.
i feel like punching you, wrp9721.
dont you agree, amber?
heh.
well,
admittedly, they DO state that you shouldn't enter unless you can provide transportation.
and if you win and can't make it, it says you forfeit your tickets.
and sure, that would suck.
but if you win, wouldn't you try everything in your power to make this happen?
okay..
wrp... WHAT IF THE WINNER(and has no money to top it all off) can't afford plane tickets?
Ever think of that, bastard?
And I'm a hardcore fan but I can always view this event on youtube, b****es.

Come on...
We don't need to be so upset that you ''cant afford a ticket to get to LA - im not rich''... they said "if youre a hardcore fan" - hardcore fans FIND A WAY to get there.... we all know itd be well worth it... so think positive.. enter anyways... its a once in a lifetime opportunity!!!
You know what...
there are things worse than that.
For some time I have stopped reading any news about the band so when I realized that they were touring here in Germany (festivals) it was just too late for me to go there. THAT WAS REALLY REALLY SAD - and, of course, my own fault. As it seems there won't be any new album and tour soon. That means, being so close (...not requiring a ticket for a plane!) and not being able to take the chance because of a lack of info in time to me is worse.
Maybe it is the best thing to wait for the next Incubus tour and we will all be happy (hopefully)...
stoked
im stoked.. thats all I can say.. I made mine.
www.youtube.com/sarincubus
look me up. whatevs ill bike or bus over there.. i made it to hawaii
--
I suggest we learn to love ourselves before its made illegal!!
heh.
well...
i'm totally entering anyway.
not rich.
but come hell or high water, i am NOT missing this.
eff that noise.
:]
Life goes on.
Well, as Mr. Boyd wouldn't* say, "That's just the way it is!". It's awesome that they're offering free tickets, but it sucks that they cant provide transpo. Good luck to those of you who can afford the accommodations and I feel your pain, me fellow fans who can't! Mike still kicks ass!
Get a Job
I am somewhat embarrased for all of you that have replied so far stating that this contest is unfair. If you can not afford the plane tickets then get a better job or do not enter. Why should the band have to give you anything. They are offering FREE tickets and the only thing anyone can say is "this is unfair, please give us free plane tickets too." And for those of you who have said this contest is unfair because money over rules creativity, find a creative way to make money. I am not a very wealthy person either but I would work two jobs before I begged for a handout. Maybe all of you should beg for free plane tickets in your video submission, that should really help your chances. In closing, I can't make the show even if I did win because I have to travel somewhere else that weekend for work. I just get tired of seeing people beg all the time and figured I would say something this time. Sorry for being rude. Thank you Incubus for making great music. Please do not stop any time soon.
I REALLY WANT TO GO!!!!
I can't believe this!!! the money it is not everything in this world!!!! i really love them!!! my love for the band is more important than the money to travel to L.A so please change the rules!!!!
one question
can i speak in spanish on th e video?
i will try it i want that ticketss
Guys :(
why?
thats impossible r.r
what else can i do?
i want to go
wow
this is unfair for all..

UNFAIR
This is unfair. It means that only Americans can win those tickets or a rich person.
Tickets for a plane from my city to LA cost fortune! I cannot afford it although I earn a lot of money...but it is still not enough to buy the tickets.
You've disappointed me guys...
I'm rich.
Okay I'm not rich. And this is ridiculous. I live in Helsinki, tickets to Los Angeles would cost me more than.... let me think... no, I don't have the money.
Mikey you have money, give me some.
Oh, by the way, I was way too close to meeting the guys at their Helsinki gig. A friend of mine works for The Voice, a finnish music channel, and he'll be editing the Incubus interview. I just didn't realize it until an hour before the gig so he couldn't do anything about it. You should have seen me, I just flipped.
But this is just unfair. I want to participate so bad!
pandapple, go ahead, sell your kidney. I'll sell my soul.
PS. I think Mike laughed at me when they played here, I don't know why, it might be because I was one of the few who knew all the lyrics, or then because my hair is bigger than his.
lyk.srsly
Maybe I wanted to see that(what the thing is about) and they couldn't give me a plane ticket!!
What a shame.. -.-
--
uh-huh
i know, right?
it's an unfair contest when money over rules creativity.
are they really serious about not providing
plane ticket and accomodation?
i still feel like it's a joke.
as if this is some kind of a test.
and yet ideas about what i wanna do for
my vid is swirling like crazy in my head.
dammit, man! if they wanna see how
die hard we are, i'll show them!!! XD
OMG
YOU ARE SO RIGHT, MILK!
Maybe Incubus hates us normal people. x_x'

inappropriate
what kind of a contest is this?
"we can’t fly you here, put you up, or feed you."
what?!?!?! way to go all the way through.
so, fans that can win this thing are the rich ones?
i have the feeling that something is wrong here..
like they're playing games with us.. lol.
moo
That would be kinda boring to go see though!
It's not the band we all see in concert. x_x

:p
I really have to go to this, its gonna be (mst prob) AWESOME but I’m soooooooooo broke.
So if anyone needs a kidney … I’m selling

There are pandas. There are apples. And, then there's pandapple !
=(
I wish I could go, but I don't have the necessary money to go to LA
