Incubus & Deftones 2015 Tour with Special Guests Death From Above 1979 and The Bots

• The Incubus legacy: across 20 hard-rocking, genre-bending years, the band has landed four #1 hits on the Billboard Alternative charts (including “Drive” and “Love Hurts”) and six studio albums that went Gold, Platinum, and multi-Platinum
• The Deftones legacy: seven critically acclaimed albums, 10 million records sold, and a distinct type of hard rock that “thrives on conflict and chaos,” according to The New York Times
• Trust Fall (Side A): the latest EP of new music from Incubus that guitarist Mike Einziger says is “pretty indicative of where we are now. This is what the band sounds like in 2015.”
• Koi No Yokan: Deftones’ latest release, which incorporated elements of shoegaze and psychedlia, and was hailed as one of the top albums of 2012 by both Spin and Revolver
• Rolling Stone’s take on dance-punk duo Death from Above 1979: “Returning a decade later, they’re still crushing violent, angular riffs, but they’re also writing catchier songs. A throwback to a throwback that’s better the second time around.”
• Rolling Stone’s take on garage punkers, The Bots: they named the duo “Most Likely to Succeed in 2014” after their head-turning set at Coachella

Third Eye Blind

• How you know them: from a string of hits that includes “Jumper,” “Semi-Charmed Life,” “How’s It Going to Be,” and “Never Let You Go,” all of which helped the 20th century end on a high note
• What the band has done since then: released the fan-favorite records Out of the Vein and Ursa Major; primed an upcoming album that frontman Stephan Jenkins says will be their swan song
• Motto that 3EB says best defines said upcoming album: “BORN IN SHADOW. MADE OF LIONS. LOUD AS [FUDGE]”

• What’s coming up next: in spring 2015 the group will release their first studio collection in over six years

Dashboard Confessional

• Their breakout hit: the emotionally wrought “Screaming Infidelities,” which yielded their first gold certified album and peaked at #5 on the Billboard Top 200
• Their debut album: The Swiss Army Romance, which PopMatters praised by saying “One is reminded of Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks, only stripped down to the bare essentials”
• How their last full band tour culminated: a sold out performance at New York City’s Madison Square Garden
• A sample of their accolades: one platinum album (MTV Unplugged), and three gold-certified albums (Swiss Army Romance; The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most; and A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar)

Shellac Polish: An Indestructible Allure

Select salons offer Shellac polish, which can last—chip-free—for weeks. Read on for our look at this resilient manicure style.

After five years of testing and development, CND unveiled its secret weapon. It was virtually impenetrable—a veritable suit of armor. And it was just waiting to fall into the right hands. Dubbed Shellac, CND’s new nail polish could last 14 days—336 hours—without a chip or smudge. The formula itself was a hybrid of regular and gel nail polish, combining the thick, durable layers of gel with the easy, brush-on application of ordinary lacquer. Between each of four coats, a special, low-watt UV lamp cured the Shellac, hardening it and leaving it dry within seconds. After a single appointment, customers could leave the salon with a gleaming manicure that could last for weeks.

Available in more than 45 shades, Shellac polish is no longer new technology, but only trained technicians in a certified salon are eligible to apply it. The UV curing process—safe for the skin—is so effective that Shellac polish must be removed at the salon using strong acetone, most often by slipping a special soaking pad over each finger for a few minutes. Although the polish may not last on dry or flaky nails, healthy fingers generally retain their shine, only losing their color as the roots of new nails start to grow in from the cuticle.

Greenville, South Carolina: Booming Downtown and Natural Beauty in the Upcountry

Red maples and willow oaks fringe Greenville’s historic downtown, creating a lush canopy over Main Street. This idyllic setting serves as the backdrop to a roster of outdoor concerts, art festivals, and cycling races throughout the year; all the activity helped earn it a spot on Forbes’ list of America’s Best Downtowns as well as a mention in Outside Magazine’s Best Towns list of 2013. Dine alfresco at a gastropub or shop at locally owned toy stores and boutiques to take in more of the thriving downtown, or visit the world’s largest public collection of Andrew Wyeth watercolors at the Greenville County Museum of Art.

A short stroll from downtown lies Falls Park on the Reedy, where a pair of waterfalls spill into the Reedy River. You’ll get the best view of the falls from Liberty Bridge, which looks as though it’s suspended in midair right above the water. From here, you can hop on the 18-mile Swamp Rabbit Trail for a leisurely bike ride—borrow one from the citywide bicycle sharing program—or walk. Keep an eye out for wildlife; it’s not unusual to spot lizards, squirrels, and birds.
