...denim and tummy-baring T shirts to take part in a unicorn-drawing contest. Too bad for them. At the behest of guitarist Mike Einziger's unicorn-obsessed girlfriend, a competition to draw the mythical creature was under way. Using a wooden food-service table as his canvas, lead singer Brandon Boyd has laid down a medieval unicorn with wings in thick black marker. Einziger draws something destined for a rainbow-colored sticker. The would-be groupies wait for their turns with the pen and ask for hugs and autographs when they work up the nerve, but mostly they...
...first single off Ready, is a play on viewers’ perceptions and expectations of the music video form. It shows a young, hip, rock band playing on a stage with flashing neon colors, as the group thrashs away on guitars and keyboards. The boyish lead singer dances and sings spasmodically; it could be any cutting edge, industry-created rock band.

...strange consequences of this diversification. The last song on the record, “Aqueous Transmission,” is an eight-minute head trip accompanied by mandolin and fading strings, and sits uncomfortably among the more honest rock songs that comprise much of the album. On View, lead singer Brandon Boyd is at his most introspective. He expresses love, loss, contemplation and joy in a more visceral way than most new metal bands. The album has its share of hits and misses, but it also presents a new, very appealing Incubus—the sensitive, lovable pin-up boys...
Sandwiched between the hustle and bustle of Head of the Charles weekend and the Dispatch concert in Sanders, Rockwell Church, a D.C.-based duo, took the stage of Club Passim for their first of two sold-out shows last Saturday. Lead singer Nathan Church Hubbard asked the audience, “Why do they schedule all this stuff at the same time? It must suck the rest of the year.” Suck the rest of the year or not, Boston was in for quite a treat as Rockwell Church opened its evening at Passim with a solid...
