Red Hot Chili Peppers in Florida!!!

Red Hot Chili Peppers Florida Show Postponed.  See Below for New Dates

Florida heats up in January with the return of the Red Hot Chili Peppers!  

The Red Hot Chili Peppers show scheduled for Florida has been postponed until March 30 to Apr 2.  The dates on the band’s upcoming tour are being pushed back because lead singer Anthony Kiedis underwent surgery to remove a crushed sesamoid bone and correct a detached flexor tendon in his foot. He is expected to make a full recovery.

You know you were missing them!  I was too!  It was just a few months ago…  I was reminiscing as I listened to my RHCP playlist!!  The first song on my list is my favorite and the song that put them on the map!   “Give It Away” is the group’s most recognizable song, and has received many awards, including a Grammy for the Best Hard Rock Performance (with vocals).  No matter what mood I’m in, this song wakes me up, cheers me up, and gets me dancin’!  This was followed by the timeless, poignant “Under the Bridge” (live version).  After blowing out the flame on my ipod, I listened to their new album and was pleasantly surprised!  These old men have still got it!  As long as they keep rockin’ songs like, newly released “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie” and “Police Station” …..I’m a life-long fan!

Red Hot Chili Peppers released their 16th album, I’m with You, in August 2011 and will kick off the New Year with the start of their US Tour on January 20 right here in the Sunshine State!  The band has gone through several guitarists and is currently featuring guitarist, Josh Klinghoffer, who joined in late 2009 (John Frusciante left the band to focus on his solo career).

If you’re not familiar with them, RHCP is an incredibly funky rock band who has featured such artists as DeWayne McKnight (from Parliament-Funkadelic), John Frusciante, and Dave Navarro (from Jane’s Addiction).  They have won seven Grammy Awards and sold over 70 million albums worldwide.  They have had nine singles in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 (three in the Top 10) and currently hold the record for most number one singles on the Alternative Songs chart at 13.  They have been named inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and (when their US tour closes, before they go back to complete their European tour) will be inducted on April 14, 2012.
