We have a strong desire to jump into that deeper on the next record. I think we’ve just scratched the surface. But I don’t think we’ve explored the sonic possibilities of turntables combined with live instruments. The possibilities are endless, so it’s just a matter of personal taste. “I think it’s more of a challenge personally than sonically. That aspect of it can be annoying because it’s so far from the truth.” What are some of the challenges of integrating a DJ into guitar-based compositions? That’s such a manufactured, synthetic observation. There’s this notion that he does it for the purpose of riling up these young girls. He just doesn’t like to wear a shirt! He gets hot and sweaty and he wants to take his shirt off. I have video tapes of us when we were 15 years old and him taking his shirt off and performing. For some reason that’s become a really big deal. Sometimes people shift the topics of conversation or emphasis from music to the way Brandon looks or dresses or how he takes his shirt off while we perform.

There’s so many hot girls at our shows it’s ridiculous … The only person who gets annoyed with it is him. How annoying is it to be in a band with a singer who many worship as a sex symbol? Tuesday Where: Verizon Wireless Amphitheater Ticket price: $25 Ticket information: (913) 721-0001. What: Incubus, 30 Seconds to Mars When: 7:30 p.m. I get paid money to do what I would do anyway, and what I would idealistically be doing. It does take a lot out of you and it does wear you down, but honestly it’s like … most people have to go to work and put on a certain type of outfit and sit in a cubicle or an office all day long and type on a computer. “Who says that I don’t go insane from all the touring? Just knowing that I’m going to get to go home and sleep in my bed at the end of it. What’s one of your personal tricks for not going insane from all the touring? Songwriter and founder Einziger took time before a London gig to talk about the perils of sharing a tour bus with a girl-magnet lead singer, his one-time experience trying out for Alanis Morissette’s group and why Incubus is such a dopey band name. And really helping matters is frontman Brandon Boyd whose distinct vocal control is matched only by his boyish good looks a condition that has led to his image being plastered on dozens of layouts for prominent magazines. Helping matters is the incorporation of turntable expert DJ Kilmore into the mix, whose eccentric sounds help separate Incubus from the modern rock pack. With two multiplatinum albums to its credit that feature perennial singles such as “Nice to Know You,” “Wish You Were Here” and “Drive,” the five-piece has found a melodious way to put a new spin on a weathered style. Since forming in 1991 while merely scruffy high school students, Incubus has gone from a commonplace funk-metal outfit to one of the more ambitious rock acts to achieve radio dominance.
