Being in a band is tough. Just ask bassist Dirk Lance (Alex Katunich), who left his previous band, Incubus, at the peak of its success. “It's like being married to four other people,” Lance told Bass Player. “When your band makes its living touring and you spend 10 months out of the year together, it gets trying.”
After 12 years of touring and recording, Lance says Incubus reached a point where the writing was on the wall. “We were going in different directions, personality-wise and musically. If there was ever a time to get off the rollercoaster, it was going to be at the top.
