Out in L.A.: The Red Hot Chili Peppers, 1983 - Hardcover
by Hamish Duncan (Author)
The Red Hot Chili Peppers were going to be a one-time act for a friend's album release party.
Forty years later the funk rock band is one of the best known and the longest running in the United States. Everything that happened in 1983 set the course for the rest of the band's career. The scrappy band quickly rose to scene-wide fame, playing all over Los Angeles and gaining fans and media attention wherever they performed. Before the year was out, they had played approximately thirty shows, put together an early, beloved repertoire, recorded a blistering demo that secured them a recording contract with EMI/Enigma, and lost two of their founding members to a rival band. Out in L.A. is an attempt at finding out exactly what happened during that first year and exploring what it is that makes the Red Hot Chili Peppers so compelling and fresh, even as they continue on their musical journey today.Hamish Duncan is the founder of the Red Hot Chili Peppers Sessions Archive website (rhcpsessions.com) and editor of Red Hot Chili Peppers Live Archive (rhcplivearchive.com).
