Came here after she was announced as Incubus permanent bass player, so the cool gig is now her permanent job! and she is IN the band, congrats to her, she is a killer bass player. And this interview is a perfect way to get to know her, such a cool and down to earth person, can`t wait to hear what she creates with the band now that there is talk of a new album.

[@darrenwhite8959]

Saw her a couple weeks ago with Incubus. Been an Incubus fan for over 20 years, was stoked to see them, and still feel like she stole the show. She's incredible.

[@gowithelmo]

Love to hear that

[@darrenwhite8959]

@@gowithelmo It was really cool. I had to go back and watch this interview (great job, btw) after. I had thought it'd be Tal still, and Nicole totally won me over.

[@jammcard]

We love Nicole!

[@vessy]

Nicole is amazing, so happy for her. Such a nice podcast, very cool conversation.

[@gowithelmo]

Glad you enjoyed. Nicole is the best

[@toreto41]

I’ve been a huge Incubus fan since Fongus Amongus. Mostly because of them I started playing bass like 20 years ago. Recently I discovered Nicole from other sources without knowing she was playing with Incubus. I found her amazing as a bass player and as a person. Then all came together so I’m really happy.

[@gowithelmo]

She is awesome

[@fadhlirahim]

I just saw Nicole live with Incubus last night. She was awesome! Fit right in with the band.

[@gowithelmo]

Awesome! She's great in the band

[@Denariusjay]

I really like this woman. I know the gig with Incubus is temporary, but she breathes new life into that band that's been kind of lacking in recent years

[@gowithelmo]

She is awesome!

[@tingkagol]

The cat's out. She's now a permanent member

[@nytshift]

Never been excited for incubus since Dirk Lance .finally a finger bass player.

[@cL3v3rM0niK3r]

Saw her two nights ago for the last leg of the Incubus tour and she did amazing!

[@gowithelmo]

I keep hearing how awesome she is doing! Love it

[@glou420]

Omg saw Incubus with Nicole the other day. Immediately bought vip front row tickets (at the Idaho state fair lol) next month. She fuking killed it!!!!

[@gowithelmo]

Nice! Nicole is the best

[@devonm301]

Was there tonight. She definitely killed it

[@cambo6911]

Nicole is really killing it with Incubus, I enjoyed seeing her tonight in Spokane Washington! XOXOXO

[@collectingcasually]

So glad this was on my recommended feed. Saw Nicole and the gang last weekend in KC and loved every minute of it!

[@gowithelmo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm literally here the day after seeing her for the first time in a live concert and I think I'm in love 😆

[@gowithelmo]

Haha yes! Nicole is awesome

Man..I saw her in Berlin last week playing with Incubus.. She was very accurate with all her notes.. Really loved that gig.

She was incredible when I saw Incubus play in the Philippines last Thursday

[@duarteestelita7257]

this was fun. She’s fun. Thank you for the interview. Hope to watch her play in an Incubus gig, in Portugal, sometime. Greatest of luck to her. PS: didn’t know this channel. I’ll definitely be coming back. Congrats ;)

[@gowithelmo]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

[@lovepanic2738]

Love this interview. Sad for you that you never got to see her play with Panic! or experience a P!ATD concert and Brendon and everyone in the bands talent.

[@gowithelmo]

Thank you! Wish I did too. Excited to see her with Incubus though

[@liceana]

Nicole is amazing! Saw her live in Europe tour. It was incredible

[@gowithelmo]

So good!

Saw Nicole at the Hollywood Bowl and she killed it! I miss Ben but this was amazing too. Fun to see a woman in the slot!! ❤❤❤

Really amazing story! Great convo guys! Nicole with Incubus is🔥

[@CC_Babblecock]

She is so chilled and gives off a great vibe!

[@gowithelmo]

Nicole is amazing

[@CC_Babblecock]

@@gowithelmo She should go into life/business/employment coaching as a side gig! She has the personality for it. Calm and chill but experienced a lot and also knows back end boring stuff of running a business with her lessons, so multiple fields of knowledge. She’d be a great person for a TEDX talk as well (sorry, Marketing brain kicking in 😂). Great channel!

[@Ang-nh1ee]

Great interview! Love Nicole and Panic!!

[@andycakesends]

Such a Nicole fan, she’s doin a great job and I hope FOR ALL OF US FANS she lives it tf up 🙌

[@nnn-lz3sp]

Nicole's base is soooo good!!! I'll miss her crazy on Panic at the disco but I should totally check incubus out. I'll do it right after I finish watching this vid

[@gowithelmo]

Yea she's amazing and fits perfectly with Incubus!

[@sephiroth7818]

Dirk set a high pace for Incubus. Sounds like Nicole can fit in a lot of places very well.

[@Bassic778]

A revealing interview with a very skilled and humble musician who I just found out about!!! With her attitude, skill, and resume, she will be busy for as long as she wants to be!

[@gowithelmo]

Absolutely! Glad you dug the interview

[@chriscuthbertson]

I'm loving Nicole's vibe with Incubus. As a bass player who was heavily influenced by Incubus' early material, I always struggled with the change in bass players, but I have to say that I really enjoy Nicole's playing.

[@gowithelmo]

Happy to hear! We love Nicole too

[@kalaalefaio5108]

this showed up in my feed because of all the BASS! 😉 vids I watch. That was a great chat!

My god, I remember seeing her at mi playing that crappy short scale before she got the marcus miller - she was always looking so sullen XD Never realized she was so bubbly - and now she's just killing it - very happy for you!

[@gowithelmo]

Nicole is awesome. Great to see her continual growth!

[@jmaxwell1206]

Ohhhhh my gosh. Her two favs are.... Karma, Come Back and SSLW!!! I'm in love 😍🥰

Love you Nichole. I’m sad that Panic! is done but I get it. Incubus is awesome though.

[@johnoliver6372]

I grew up with Nicole and remember when she was just learning to play bass. We played in a punk rock band together and would play these shows with like 8 people. Here’s a video of one of them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWfKoJKQndB2esksi=QHkePd0ALOKGx6RP It is so amazing to see what she is doing today. Seeing this interview made me happy.

I kept thinking Nicole was sitting in those old school women’s hair dryer chairs with the round object near her head

[@billybutcher4995]

Probably the best the bass in incubus has sounded since Dirk left after Morning View.

[@nytshift]

Amen.

Nicole was amazing in Detroit the other night. She fits right in. Cute as Hell too.

She is a finger style and slap player so maybe more music like SCIENCE in the future??

That would be epic

The "drummer"?" the guitar player"?" the DJ"... she didnt address their names? assuming she might be a fan ? or they have met and rehears together?

Who cares.

[@EnDependance123]

Love this bassist, can't stand Panic and love Incubus, too much Panic talk for me and the past is so overrated

Saw you play at Mornington in Australia. Wow what a vibe you add to the band… Awe inspiring, mesmerizing and refreshing to say the least. P.s. My girlfriend has such a girl crush on you. 🥹

[@christiangibbs391]

Please bring back your old mate "Alex Katunich 🫡🙏🕺❤️ Remember? He was your bass player, when even your personal & creative differences brought tension, instilling a musical chemistry 🧪 now unfortunately long lost, replaced by mediocrity, from a band that was set aside from the "Status Quo" (not the band), a fusion of walking on eggshell musical moments, that defied & defined "Morning View" & every album before. Knowing that this was unfortunately the last album with "Dirk Lance", when you remaster & rerelease this album on vinyl it should adaptly titled "Mourning View" - A Reflection Of Our Inability To Convey Our Genuine Love, Respect, Admiration & Forgiveness Towards Our Musical Brother, Due To Our Lack Of Humility & Emotional Capacity To Convey Our Honest Frustrations & Built Up Resentment, To Put All The Cards On The Table & Work Through Our Issues, With An Intent To Resolve & Restore Our Relationships With One Another, And Continue Our Legacy Beyond Our Malfunctions In A Mature & Masculine Way, Expressing Brotherly Love In A Tangible Way, Rather Than Just A Popular Theory Of Lip Service 😇🙏❤️ #It'sTimeToBuryTheHatcet #Kiss&MakeUp #WeAllMakeMistakes #DirkLanceStadiumTour #PearlJam@It'sNotTooLateToDoTheRightThing #DaveAbbruzzeseIsTheMan #TicketMasterWasTheRealEnemy #950000+"VS"AlbumsSoldInTheFirstWeek #UnconditionalLoveIsn'tConditional #RestorationReconciliationTour2024 #HappyFansSwillMoreCans 😎✌️🍻
