Before Incubus graces the Convocation Center’s stage with its presence tomorrow night, The Music will warm up the crowd with its blend of guitar riffs and dance grooves.

The four-member band from Leeds, U.K. is on tour supporting its sophomore release, “Welcome to the North.” Recently, Weekender conducted a telephone interview with guitarist Adam Nutter, trying hard to understand his accent and picking up his favorite six-word phrase: “If you know what I mean.”

Weekender: So where are you right now?

Adam Nutter: I am in … uh? Where are we? We are in Tulsa, Oklahoma right now and I am on the bus, sitting in the corridor.

WE: Describe an average tour day.

AN: Wow. Get up, sit around the bus, maybe get a shower at the venue, get some food, go back to the bus, sit around until the gig, do the gig, get on the bus and go on to the next city. It’s a lot of sitting around on the bus and watching films and playing on the computer.

WE: What was it like going on tour when you were 18?

AN: It’s every teenager’s dream, I guess. I finished school and went out on the road, do you know what I mean? To play music and get paid for it, it’s the best thing in the world.

WE: Care to share a good road story?

AN: One day, we were on our tour bus driving down the freeway and the ‘check engine’ light came on, so we pulled over and found out that the engine had failed. So we sat on the back of a tow truck for about five hours covered in blankets speeding down the freeway in the middle of the night. Come to think of it, that’s really not funny. It was more stressful, if anything.

WE: So I noticed in your press kit that one of your mottos is ‘no goals.’ Can you explain that?

AN: I don’t know why that’s in the press kit because that was said years ago, do you know what I mean? And we haven’t changed over the years. What the motto meant was we didn’t really have any intentions and we still don’t. Do you know what I mean? We’re just making music because it sounds good to us. We didn’t start this band to become big rock stars and we’re not doing this for anyone except ourselves, do you know what I mean? We’re still in our own little bubble and it’s not really about anything other than that, do you know what I mean? So we don’t really pay attention to the press or what people say about us.

WE: What’s the stupidest question you’ve ever been asked?

AN: It all depends on what you mean by stupid. No question is stupid. It’s all about who’s asking it, do you know what I mean? We get asked about the name ‘The Music’ a lot and that’s not stupid, but we’ve heard it enough that we just want to say ‘f— off’ every time someone asks it. People ask why we don’t all dress alike like other bands, but it’s not about the fashion. We are just normal people and some people can’t get over that. We just want to be musicians, but people want to get into it on a more massive scale and that’s cool, do you know what I mean?

WE: Who do you think the next big music act will be?

AN: I don’t know who the next big thing will be. I can tell you that Queens of the Stone Age are the most impressive live band that I have ever seen, but they split up. We toured with them in Australia on the Big Day Out Tour and I watched them play every day for three weeks straight and that was amazing. Do you know what I mean? They were mind-blowing to watch.

WE: Why should Incubus fans come out to see The Music when you open for them tomorrow night?

AN: I think Incubus fans will really understand what we are doing because we are a powerful guitar band with a vocalist who has an amazing voice. I think the fans will appreciate it, if not love it, and I think they will respect us and what we are doing as well.
