Red Hot Chili Peppers
In their nearly two-decade-long career, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have
demonstrated an instinct for survival that would do any rock band proud.
In the face of countless upheavals in personnel, struggles with substance
abuse, and even death, the band has managed to forge a style — in both
music and performance — to which a legion of groups continue to aspire.
Essentially a frat-style party band given to outrageous antics and an
irresistible blend of punk, thrash, and funk, the Chilis have blazed a
trail, which groups like the Offspring and Sugar Ray have followed.
Moreover, to judge by the interest that continues to accompany the band's
every move, the Chili Peppers' viability as a musical force will likely
continue for many years to come.
The Chili Peppers' beginnings can be traced to Fairfax High School in
Los Angeles, where Michael Balzary (AKA Flea) and Anthony Kiedis met
at age 15. Both were California transplants: Flea was born in Melbourne,
Australia, and lived in New York before moving to L.A. as a teen, while
Kiedis left his mother's home in Michigan at age 11 to come live with his
father, who was a struggling actor. The son of jazz musician, Flea was
an accomplished trumpet player who idolized Herb Alpert and Louis Armstrong.
As for Kiedis' artistic aspirations, he was having sporadic luck auditioning
for small roles in films and television.
At around the same time Kiedis and Flea were getting to know one another,
fellow student Hillel Slovak was busy teaching himself guitar. Slovak's
enthusiasm for KISS and Jimi Hendrix rubbed off on Flea, who, with some
reluctance, took up the bass. By the time the three friends graduated in
1980, Slovak and Flea, along with drummer Jack Irons, had formed a band
called Another School and were slogging it out on the L.A. club circuit.
Meanwhile, Kiedis had begun taking classes at UCLA, although he
occasionally found time between studies to act as Another School's M.C.
After leaving for a brief tenure with the hardcore band Fear, Flea reunited
with Slovak and Irons in 1983. Appropriating a moniker used by
Louis Armstrong's jazz quintet in the 1920s, the trio christened themselves
the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and once again began making the rounds on the
L.A. club circuit. During a particularly raucous performance, Kiedis
joined the band on-stage, and immediately the chemistry between him and the
group was apparent. Within six months, the Chili Peppers — now a foursome
— had landed a contract with EMI.
