Red Hot Chili Peppers (lebih dikenal RHCP) adalah kelompok musik rock berbasis di California yang didirikan oleh vokalis Anthony Kiedis, bassist Michael Balzary (dikenal sebagai Flea), almarhum gitaris Hillel Slovak, vokalis dan drummer 'Cho' Laws, dan drummer Jack Irons pada 1983. Saat ini anggotanya terdiri dari Kiedis, Balzary, gitaris John Frusciante dan drummer Chad Smith. Mantan-mantan anggota termasuk Dix Denney, Jack Sherman, Cliff Martinez, Dwayne "Blackbird" McKnight, D.H. Peligro, Arik Marshall, Jesse Tobias, dan Dave Navarro.

RHCP telah mengeluarkan sembilan album studio, sembilan #1 modern rock hits, dan telah menjual hampir 50 juta keping album di dunia (37 juta terjual untuk ketiga album Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Californication dan By the Way).

Sejarah

Red Hot Chili Peppers (mulanya Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem) didirikan pada 1983 oleh alumni Fairfax High School Michael "Flea" Balzary (bass), Anthony Kiedis (vocals), Jack Irons (drums), dan Hillel Slovak (guitar) mulanya hanya untuk 1 kali pentas. Setelah menjadi terkenal di Los Angeles, mereka menandatangani kontrak rekaman dengan EMI.

Irons dan Slovak menganggap band tersebut sebagai proyek sampingan, dan meninggalkan RHCP sebelum album perdana mereka untuk menekuni band asal mereka What Is This?. Album Red Hot Chili Peppers diterbitkan pada 1984 dan direkam dengan Jack Sherman pada gitar dan Cliff Martinéz pada drums dan produser Andy Gill dari Gang of Four namun tidak berhasil secara penjualan. Karena pertengkaran dalam tur, Sherman hengkang dan Slovak masuk kembali.

George Clinton dari Parliament-Funkadelic menjadi produser album kedua mereka Freaky Styley pada 1985. Martinéz dipecat setelah album ini keluar dan Jack Irons bergabung kembali pada 1986. Pada saat ini mereka mulai menggunakan narkotika.

Album mereka selanjutnya, yang masuk ke Billboard Top 200, adalah The Uplift Mofo Party Plan pada 1988 dengan produser Michael Beinhorn. Ini adalah satu-satunya album dengan keempat anggota awal. Dalam tur, Slovak semakin kecanduan obat-obatan dan ia akhirnya overdosis heroin pada 25 Juni 1988 dalam sebuah tur di Eropa. Jack Irons kembali cabut dan bergabung dengan Pearl Jam dan Eleven.

Setelah pengganti sementara drummer Dead Kennedys D.H. Peligro dan mantan gitaris P-Funk DeWayne "Blackbyrd" McKnight, mereka akhirnya menemukan Chad Smith dan John Frusciante untuk merekam album selanjutnya, Mother's Milk, yang diterbitkan pada Agustus 1989. Album ini mencapai #52 di AS, yang tertinggi bagi mereka saat itu.

Pada 1990 mereka pindah ke Warner Brothers Records. Rick Rubin menjadi produser album kelima mereka Blood Sugar Sex Magik, yang menghasilkan banyak hit dan terjual 7 juta keping di AS. Single "Give it Away" memenangkan Grammy award pada 1992 untuk "Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal", dan single-single lainnya adalah "Breaking the Girl", "Suck My Kiss", dan "Under the Bridge". Blood Sugar Sex Magik masuk ke nomor 310 dalam daftar Rolling Stone magazine The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, dan pada 1992 mencapai # 3 di AS.

Masalah obat-obatan kembali menghadang mereka dan Frusciante keluar dari band pada Mei 1992. Setelah menggantikannya dengan Arik Marshall dan Jesse Tobias dari Mother Tongue, mantan gitaris Jane's Addiction Dave Navarro digaet untuk merekam album One Hot Minute. Album ini juga terjual 5 juta keping dan bertahan di tangga album selama 55 minggu.

Setelah Navarro dipecat pada 1997, John Frusciante kembali dan mereka merekam Californication. Album ini lebih berhasil daripada BSSM dan terjual 15 juta keping. Lagu-lagu hit dari album ini adalah "Scar Tissue", "Otherside", dan "Californication". Pada 2001 mereka menerbitkan By the Way pada 9 Juli 2002. Album ini terjual 700.000 keping pada minggu pertama dan menghasilkan lagu-lagu hit "By the Way", "The Zephyr Song", "Can't Stop", "Dosed", dan "Universally Speaking".

Mereka merekam dua lagu baru "Fortune Faded" dan "Save the Population" untuk album Greatest Hits dan pada 2004 album live mereka yang pertama , Live in Hyde Park. Pada tahun 2006 mereka mengeluarkan Stadium Arcadium yang merupakan album ganda.

Jenis musik

Teknik bermain bass Flea dipengaruhi oleh funk dan blues, terutama pemain bass Bootsy Collins dari Parliament-Funkadelic dan John Paul Jones dari Led Zeppelin. Kiedis mencampurkan lagu dan rap (terutama dalam album-album sampai Blood Sugar Sex Magik). Lagu-lagu mereka membahas berbagai masalah seperti persahabatan, seks, politik, sosial, obat-obatan, alkohol, dan kematian.

MxPx are a Christian punk rock[4] band from Bremerton, Washington. The band recorded eight studio albums, four EPs, four compilation albums, a live album, a VHS tape, a DVD and released 20 singles.

All the former members of the band are Christians, and this is reflected in some of the band's songs. However, they preferred not to be called a Christian band.[5]. On the topic of their faith Mike Herrera was quoted saying "We are Christian. It’s not a cult or something. It’s part of our story and I guess it’s different and controversial. But it’s a personal thing. It’s what we choose to believe. That’s all there is to it. We don’t preach to anyone." [6].

The band's lineup included Mike Herrera on bass guitar and vocals, Tom Wisniewski on guitar, and Yuri Ruley on drums. The band only had one major lineup change, early in their career, when founding guitarist Andy Husted left the band after the release of their first record and was replaced by Wisniewski.

History

Early

MxPx began with the name Magnified Plaid. Initially, they started playing music inspired by Descendents, NOFX, Black Flag and other Southern California skate punk bands. The trio—Mike Herrera, Yuri Ruley, and Andy Husted—were classmates at Central Kitsap High School in nearby Silverdale, WA and were 15 years old when they formed. The name was a tribute to the original guitarist's fascination with plaid shirts but did not fit on the band's posters. Consequently, the name was abbreviated to M.P. But in Yuri Ruley's handwriting, periods appeared as "X"'s, and since he made up the show posters for the band, the four-letter moniker stuck.[7]

Tooth & Nail Years

MxPx caught the attention of Tooth & Nail Records when they played a showcase for the label in 1993 in Herrera's parents' back yard. Mike Herrera had practiced so much before the first show that he lost his voice.[citation needed] Their first major album, Pokinatcha (1994), was released while the band members were still in high school. The album, though classified as christian punk, incorporated the quick styles of hardcore punk.

Guitarist Andy Husted soon left the band and was replaced by Tom Wisniewski. MxPx released two further albums with Tooth & Nail: Teenage Politics in 1995, and Life in General in 1996. They then received a major distribution deal with A&M Records. This deal first saw a re-release of Life In General. MxPx then released two more studio albums jointly distributed by Tooth & Nail and A&M: Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo in 1998, and The Ever Passing Moment in 2000. Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo would be last album to incorporate hardcore punk for some years and with the release of The Ever Passing Moment, the band used frequent pop punk styles. MxPx had fulfilled their contract obligations with Tooth & Nail and decided to part ways.

Changes

Before Everything & After in 2003 was released exclusively by A&M, and marked a radical departure from their old sound.[citation needed] In 2005, MxPx was dropped by A&M, signed with SideOneDummy Records, and released their seventh full-length album Panic.

In September 2006, MxPx and the City of Bremerton started a marketing effort revolving around the band's song "Move to Bremerton". Bremerton's Community Renewal Agency secured rights for the song to be played in a promotional website for the city, and MxPx played a concert at the downtown Admiral Theatre on September 16, 2006 with local bands The Divorce and Ruxton Towers. The band was also given keys to the city by Mayor Cary Bozeman in recognition of their contributions to Bremerton.[8][9]

MxPx spent the majority of 2005 and 2006 touring in support of their 7th album Panic. On November 21, 2006, Tooth & Nail Records re-released "Let It Happen", an earlier rarities compilation, in a "Deluxe Edition" which included a bonus DVD featuring 12 music videos, new artwork, and two new songs.

Let's Rock, MxPx's second rarities album, was released on Side One Dummy Records on October 24, 2006. The album consists of many previously unreleased songs, re-recorded b-sides and acoustic demos.

Return to Tooth & Nail

In March 2007, MxPx played at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival in Austin, Texas. From May through June they headlined the Tooth and Nail Tour, also featuring Hawk Nelson, The Classic Crime, The Fold, Sullivan, Project 86, and Run Kid Run. In the same year their eighth studio album, Secret Weapon, was released. It marked the band's return to Tooth and Nail Records, as well as the first album to use a hardcore punk sound since Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo nine years earlier. In an interview with Christianitytoday.com Herrera said the band was now free to get back into more of the Christian Market.[10] In promotion for the album MxPx was featured on the labels of 120 limited edition Jones Soda bottles.

Drummer Yuri Ruley told ThePunkSite.com that MxPx planned to start writing and recording a ninth album in January 2009,[11] but Mike Herrera more recently stated that there were no immediate plans to do so.[12]

A six-song EP entitled Left Coast Punk EP was released on November 17.[13] A Christmas album, titled Punk Rawk Christmas, was also released on December 1, 2009.[14][15]


MxPx All Stars

In late 2009, Mike Herrera teamed up with frontman of The Ataris, Kris Roe and the drummer of The Summer Obsession, Chris Wilson (formerly of Good Charlotte) for the MxPx All Stars tour in Japan and South East Asia. The ensemble toured cities like Tokyo, Yokohoma, Nagoya, Osaka, Kuala Lumpur and Bandung.[citation needed]
