Red Hot Chili Peppers
Biography
Soloist Anthony Kiedis, bassist Michael Flea Balzary, guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons formed the band called Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1983. The band caught the eye of the public, when it performed the song Out In LA in the club Rhythm Lounge - soon after that it was signed to the EMI studio. Around the same time, Slovak and Irons played in the What Is This? group and left Red Hot Chili Peppers when What Is This? signed a profitable contract to MCA. Drummer Cliff Martinez and guitarist Jack Sherman replaced them. The debut of the rockers was called The Red Hot Chili Peppers and saw light in 1984, but did not have any success. Besides, Sherman exited the band - luckily, around that time Slovak came back and substituted him. In 1985, the sophomore attempt Freakey Stiley followed. The album was not a success either, but its material had a strong resemblance to the Red Hot Chili Peppers firm style - the combination of alternative rock and funk, spiced up with elements of punk and psychedelic music. After this release, Martinez left the collective, and Irons replaced him - he just came back.
