Red Hot Chili Peppers Announce 2023 Global Tour

Tickets On Sale Starting Friday, December 9th at 10am Local at  RedHotChiliPeppers.com

For approved artist images and hi-res tour art, please download  here ..

Today, acclaimed rock band  Red Hot Chili Peppers  announced their  2023 Tour , in support of their two #1 studio albums that were released in 2022,  Unlimited Love  and  Return of the Dream Canteen.  Following a recent Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song for “Black Summer,” the band will embark on a 23-date global trek that kicks off on Wednesday, March 29th at BC Place in Vancouver, BC with stadium shows and festival stops across North America and Europe in Las Vegas, San Diego, Houston, Lisbon, Madrid, Vienna and more before wrapping up on Saturday, July 23rd in Glasgow, UK at Hampden Park. The Strokes, Iggy Pop, The Roots, The Mars Volta, St. Vincent, City and Colour, Thundercat, and King Princess will join the band on select dates.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers 2023 Tour comes close on the heels of the band’s largest 40-date stadium tour to date, which included massive sold-out shows in London, Paris, Los Angeles, and more. Notable artists such as A$AP Rocky, Anderson .Paak, Beck, HAIM and more joined the band on the road through 2022. After completing the wildly successful tour across North America and Europe this year, Red Hot Chili Peppers continue into January 2023 with 8 dates across New Zealand and Australia, featuring Post Malone. 

TICKETS:  Tickets go on sale starting Friday, December 9th at 10am local time at  redhotchilipeppers.com .

Please note, the Red Hot Chili Peppers show originally scheduled for Summer 2022 in Glasgow, UK will now take place on Sunday, July 23, 2023 at Hampden Park Stadium. Existing tickets remain valid, but will be re-issued for the new date. Limited tickets remain and will be available during the general on sale.

As a result of the two album releases this year going #1, Red Hot Chili Peppers notably stand out as the first rock band in 17 years to achieve the feat. Moreover,   Return of the Dream Canteen  bowed at #1 on the  Billboard  Top Album Sales Chart —just like its predecessor  Unlimited Love  did back in April. Both albums were produced by longtime collaborator and creative confidant, Rick Rubin. Plus, it reached #1 in numerous countries around the globe. 

The Red Hot Chili Peppers recently took home the prestigious Global Icon Award, and delivered a show stopping performance at the MTV VMAs. Their No. 1 single “Black Summer” also won the award for Best Rock Video. This year, the band also garnered an MTV Europe Music Award nomination for Best Rock and scored three  American Music Awards  nominations for “Favorite Rock Artist,” “Favorite Rock Album” for  Unlimited Love  and “Favorite Rock Single” for “Black Summer.”

Red Hot Chili Peppers Launch North American Tour: Set List, Video

Red Hot Chili Peppers launched their 2024 Unlimited Love North American tour on Tuesday night in Ridgefield, Washington.

The band played several of their best-known hits — "Scar Tissue," "Californication," "By the Way" and others — as well as song selections from more recent albums, like "Whatchu Thinkin,'" "Black Summer" and "Eddie." A cover of Funkadelic 's "What Is Soul?" was also included.

You can view fan-filmed footage from the show, plus a complete set list, below.

Where Are Red Hot Chili Peppers Heading Next?

Tuesday night's concert marked RHCP's seventh show of 2024, but they have a busy couple months ahead. Their next performance is scheduled for May 31 at the Gorge Ampitheatre, also located in Washington state.

From there, they'll travel down to their home state of California and then head westward for shows in Florida, Ohio, Ontario and more, concluding the tour on July 30 in St. Louis, Missouri.

The title of this year's tour comes from the first of RHCP's two 2022 albums, Unlimited Love , which was followed by Return of the Dream Canteen . Both were produced by Rick Rubin .

"When all was said and done, our moody love for each other and the magic of music had gifted us with more songs than we knew what to do with," the band said in a statement at the time. "Well we figured it out. Two double albums released back to back. The second of which is easily as meaningful as the first or should that be reversed."

The show was epic and totally rocked! It was a hairy mess getting into and out of there, but well worth it. It felt so great to be there, like being part of something important. Seeing something that will be talked about for decades and hopefully broke down some barriers between cultures. RHCP was spreading love and understanding and put on a fantastic show, which they also transmitted live to the world (which I think is unbelievably generous for a band of their stature to send out for free to everyone on the planet with an internet connection)! I’ve been a long time fan but haven’t seen them since 1992 at Lollapalooza in Michigan. Honestly, the band played better than ever matching or bettering the albums. Anthony’s voice was absolutely perfect. Chads drumming perfect, Fleas bass was stellar and energetic. Joshs guitar tones were so very interesting I’ve spent hours since looking up on the internet all of his eqpt. My wife and I will never forget the show and cant wait to see them again. Oh yeah, the merch tables ran out of shirts so we bought some online. -Merk

On June 22, 2017 the Red Hot Chili Peppers played the First Ontario Center in Hamilton, Canada. The Chilies are Rock and Roll Hall of Famers and they deliver every time. The same cannot be said for the opening acts.

Jack Irons came out first and played a non-offensive drum and synthesizer set. It was very yawn worthy.

This was followed by Deerhoof. If you have never seen this four person band, your not missing anything. Their music is heavy on drums and guitar, who are both pretty good, but the vocals are terrible. The vocals remind me something Yoko Ono would have come up with in a drug induced haze. I have seen countless musical acts and I can say without a doubt Deerhoof is the worst ever. I actually got up a left the show for 30 minutes to escape the assault on my ears.

If your going to see the Chili Peppers and you have seats, grab a few more beers and save your ears from the opening acts. These opening acts drained the energy from arena and the Red Hot Chili Peppers would be better served to either find new opening acts or skipping opening acts all together and simply playing their set. The RHCP always deliver, but the opening acts failed.

Really good concert! There some really great lights that hang from the ceiling and move up and down, as well as change colors depending on the mood of the song. I actually read somewhere that there's about 800 lights-the biggest in any tour ever. The visuals on the big screen behind the chili peppers are really cool too-basically the visuals are outstanding. Now on to what really matters; the music. The chili peppers (as you may have expected) deliver really high energy and fun songs through the concert, from old hits like "suck my kiss" to newer songs like"dark necessities" the concert was really great and it seemed everyone had a good time. Highly recommend!

"I went over to John's house, and he just started sobbing and said he wanted to do it": The story of the Red Hot Chili Peppers album Flea thinks is the best they ever made

The Red Hot Chili Peppers were unravelling, but they pulled together, kept it together, and recorded their masterpiece album: Californication

"Are you more of a rock band now than funk?” I asked Anthony Kiedis as we sat having lunch by the pool at the Sunset Marquis hotel in Los Angeles. He looked at me askance. “We see ourselves as this hardcore, bone-crunching, psychedelic sex-funk band from heaven,” the Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman replied, like, ‘duh’. 

It was 1990 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers had finally broken through to the mainstream with their fourth album, Mother’s Milk : their first gold album in the US; first hit single in the UK with Taste The Pain . But their audience was essentially white, rock/alternative, punk/indie fans. The Chilis had even spawned a musical progeny: funk-metal. 

Indeed the 90s would soon be festooned with multiple variations of the funk-punk-metal theme, from real-deal trailblazers like Living Colour and Rage Against The Machine , to ‘thrash funk’ fusiliers like Primus , to an ocean of close-but-no-cigars like Dan Reed Network and Fishbone. 

But where the Chilis boasted genuine funk cred – their second album Freaky Styley was produced by Parliament/Funkadelic legend George Clinton and featured a pair of James Brown alumni – by 1991 and their 10-million-selling album BloodSugarSexMagik , produced by Rick Rubin , and its attendant worldwide hit single Under The Bridge , their main rivals were now white stadium rock acts like Metallica and Guns N’ Roses . 

I assumed this was all part of the plan, and that Kiedis was being disingenuous about his band still being more funk than rock. But as Chilis drummer Chad Smith told me years later: “After BloodSugar all our plans went out the door.” With them went 22-year-old wunderkind guitarist John Frusciante . And, not long after, very nearly the band itself

For the Red Hot Chili Peppers the rest of the 90s was essentially a washout. With Frusciante – so crucial to their success following the death-by-OD in 1988 of guitarist Hillel Slovak – now also lost to a heroin habit it would take years to recover from, the band foundered through a succession of short-lived replacements before finally settling on former Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro. 

At the time it seemed an inspired choice. Having left Jane’s with his rep sky-high, Navarro had already turned down an offer from Axl Rose to replace Izzy Stradlin in Guns N’ Roses. It was read as a slap in the face at the time – that GN’R simply weren’t cool enough for Navarro. The truth, however, was far less highfalutin, and more worrying. As he later confessed: “I was immersed in my drug addiction.”

Did the Chilis know they would be replacing one junkie with another junkie when they brought him in? Or were they fooled, like the rest of us, by the too-perfect match? On the surface, 26-year-old Navarro was a prestige appointment. With his hot Latin looks and extravagant tatts, he looked as good with his shirt off as Kiedis and bassist Flea did. He was also a tremendously talented guitar player, whose main influences were Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page . 

However, a deeper divide between the new bandmates became apparent from their very first show together, headlining the 1994 Woodstock festival. Obliged to join the others in donning a huge pantomime light bulb on his head for the opening number, Navarro was the first to jettison the get-up. Kiedis, who came up with the idea, thought it looked great, but allowed: “It was daunting for Dave. With a light bulb on your head you can’t see the frets, and if you’re in a new band you want to see what you’re playing. Plus it’s hard to look cool with a light bulb on your head.” 

Then there was the light bulb now flashing in the singer’s head. Unlike Frusciante, who’d been a huge fan of the Chilis before joining, Navarro’s interest in their earlier music hovered around zero. He wasn’t funk-friendly. And pranks and leaping around having fun was an alien concept. He didn’t even like jamming. As Rick Rubin put it, Navarro was the only Chilis guitarist “who had no relation to the band’s former sound, and really came in with his own trip”. 

Inevitably, in retrospect, the album they made together, One Hot Minute , released in 1995, despite again being produced by Rubin and featuring a handful of standout tracks, was a bring-down. Recorded against a backdrop of Kiedis’s own re-emerging heroin habit and Flea’s virulently anti-junkie stance following the drug-related death of his friend actor River Phoenix, Navarro’s lack of musical empathy left the process “very unfocused”, said Rubin.

One Hot Minute was another multi-platinum hit, but still sold barely a quarter what BloodSugar had. Of the five singles released from it, only one, Aeroplane , was a hit, and a minor one. By the time they returned home from tour in July 1996, they were so fractured it would be 18 months before they tried working together again. By which time Navarro’s own recurring issues with heroin had also resurfaced. 

Kiedis, who had successfully been through rehab in the buildup to BloodSugar , knew what he had to do to keep the band alive. But when he and Flea, best buddies since high school, tried to talk Navarro into entering rehab, he flat-out refused – and was fired. 

“Anthony says it was because I tripped and fell over an amp while on drugs,” Navarro complained. “I say that he was on more drugs than me at that point. We both had a loose relationship with reality.” 

That relationship became even more tenuous after both Kiedis and Smith were involved in separate motorcycle crashes. An exhausted and spooked Flea took off for Costa Rica, where he spent his time reading a biography of Che Guevara and laying around in a hammock near the beach. 

A frustrated Smith (“You can’t sit around playing drums on your own like you can a guitar”) actually hooked up with Navarro and Marilyn Manson bassist Twiggy Ramiro in a new band they called Spread, and a 17-track demo was made for a planned album tentatively titled Unicorns & Rainbows: The Pelican . 

For Kiedis there were no quick-fire solutions. Instead he spent the next six months travelling around Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, “to get my mind, body and spirit working together in preparation for something I didn’t even know was going to happen”. Following the hippie trail to India, he swam in the River Ganges to try to cure his ills. He visited the Dalai Lama in his Dharamsala monastery. One story has him undergoing an Eastern drug detox. Until he discovered that “what I was looking for was in my own backyard”. 

Which was? 

“My friends.”

Late summer ’98. With Kiedis back in LA, Flea made one last desperate attempt to keep the band together by going to Frusciante and trying to persuade him to re-join. Ironically, the guitarist had just come out of rehab. More than five years of serious smack addiction had left the 28-year-old a complete wreck: rotting teeth, ruined veins, his body ravaged by cigarette burns and self-inflicted scars. 

“I would try to hint to him and Anthony about accepting the other one, and both of them were like: ‘Nooo.’ But when John was in the hospital, Anthony visited him and they started becoming friends again.” He added: “I went over to John’s house, and he just started sobbing and said he wanted to do it.” 

In the interim, Flea had begun writing material for a solo album, “all sensitive guitar and me singing”. That plan was hurriedly revised when Frusciante and Kiedis appeared on his doorstep one day. The fact that Frusciante was holding a guitar was symbolic. He’d pawned all his guitars to buy heroin. 

“It was such an incredible sight,” said Flea. “I thought: “Fuck the solo record, it’s time to do this.” 

They began small, no big announcements, just jamming in Flea’s garage. 

“I became just giddy with joy, really, hearing that combination of musicians playing together,” Kiedis recalled. “It was kind of miraculous."

Once they were all finally in the same room again together, things immediately started to fall into place. With Navarro out of the picture, Flea had originally suggested they record an electronica album somewhere between U2 ’s Zooropa and The Prodigy ’s The Fat Of The Land . That idea was jettisoned after both William Orbit (fresh from creating Madonna’s Ray Of Light , the biggest album of 1998) and David Bowie turned down the job of producer. Working as a four-piece again, out of Daniel Lanois’s El Teatro studio, they began to revert to musical type: alt.rock with punk-funk influences. 

Frusciante, though, was deep into the gloom-minimalism of Joy Division , Fugazi and The Cure . Kiedis was revisiting childhood trauma on a major scale. The young smartass who wrote Party On Your Pussy was now 36, back living alone after the break-up of his long-term relationship to 23-year-old New York fashion designer Yohanna Logan. 

Combined with Frusciante’s rich new otherworldly guitar playing, and the fresh injection of dramatic energy it inspired in Flea and Smith, Kiedis was finally putting his truth into poetry. Like the extraordinary Scar Tissue . What would eventually be the first single from the album, Scar Tissue is so beautiful, so musically and lyrically refined, it shimmers. The same forlorn guitar as Under the Bridge , but seven years and a million miles further on. As Kiedis recites his brittle verses: ‘ Soft spoken with a broken jaw, step outside but not to brawl/And autumn’s sweet, we call it fall, I’ll make it to the Moon if I have to crawl… ’ 

On This Velvet Glove , the heartbroken singer addresses Yohana tenderly as the band provide a lush rippling backdrop: ‘ Your solar eyes are like nothing I have ever seen, somebody close that can see right through/I’d take a fall and you know that I’d do anything I will for you… ’ 

Around 35 new numbers were sketched out this way, including the bones of a Frusciante instrumental inspired by Carnage Visors , a doomy 27-minute instrumental by The Cure for the 1981 soundtrack to an obscure animated short film of the same name. After Flea and Smith had built it into a musical cathedral, and Kiedis spilled his blood verses, it became a modern musical odyssey titled Californication . Nevertheless, it was only at Kiedis’s insistence that the track wasn’t scrapped, and Frusciante found his final riff only two days before recording it. 

What’s different is the commentary, the street polemic, the focus on the big picture, all the way down the dirty boulevard. The band reaching for suitably hellred crescendos at each increasingly tortured turn: ‘ Space may be the final frontier, but it’s made in a Hollywood basement/And Cobain, can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station To Station?/And Alderaan’s not far away, it’s Californication …’

Kiedis was later quoted as saying the point behind Californication was to “tell tales of wandering souls who’ve lost their way searching for the American dream in California”. But that sounded like a made-up quote from a press release. 

Most of the material was inspired by unmistakably autobiographical events: Porcelain came from Kiedis meeting a young single mother at the YMCA who was fighting addiction while trying to raise an infant daughter. He recalled: “The mum’s in a haze, strung-out on heroin, but the little girl’s this beaming wide sun-ball of an angel. The juxtaposition of their energies [was] profound.” The juddering melancholic Emit Remmus , with its references to Leicester Square and Primrose Hill, was inspired by Kiedis’s short-lived relationship with Melanic C of the Spice Girls. 

Similarly, Frusciante felt free at last to fully express his split musical personality. On Get On Top , his starting point is the ultra-funk zap of Public Enemy , while that knotty, angular guitar solo was formed from listening intently to Steve Howe ’s undulating solo on Siberian Khatru from the classic 1972 Yes album Close To The Edge . His room-full-of-mirrors guitar effects on Saviour – Kiedis’s heartfelt tribute to higher power – were “directly inspired by Eric Clapton ’s playing in Cream ”. 

The psychedelic-sex-funk was still in evidence on Around The World, Get On Top, I Like Dirt, Purple Stain and Right On Time . The other 10 tracks on Californication leant far more towards the melodic. Tracks like Scar Tissue and the equally moody Otherside were less about jamming and more about structure.

Recording time was booked at Cello studio on Sunset Boulevard, and for eight weeks from January 1999 the three Harley-Davidsons belonging to Flea, Kiedis and Smith were lined up by the back door. All four members played their instruments and recorded together in real time. 

Rick Rubin returned to oversee production, and was surprised to find the band on time each day, unfailingly professional, and, shock-horror, sober. Gone were the “day-long pot sessions or sexual indulgences” that had slowed work on previous albums. The Red Hot Chili Peppers now moved fast, and had all the basic tracks laid down in five days. 

Not everything went smoothly, however. The new drug-free détente tested badly when the band vetoed a Kiedis favourite, Fat Dance , off the album. “It talked about the beauty of ass,” Kiedis shrugged. It would be several years before anyone got to hear it. 

Meanwhile, the low-riding groove of Easily was a track that Rubin and Frusciante had to fight to get on the album. Which was a bizarre situation, given how immediately catchy the tune is. A number like album closer Road Trippin’ reignited that good feeling, though. It’s a song of summer featuring Beatles-esque acoustic guitars and lush pop orchestration, about how surfing with your best friends is better than any drug.

Released in June 1999, Californication was an instant, globe-straddling success, going straight into the US chart at No.3 and hitting the UK top five. In the US it eventually stayed glued to the Billboard chart for 101 weeks and was certified seven-times platinum. In the UK it stuck around even longer, staying on the chart for 169 weeks, and was eventually certified four-times platinum for more than 1.2 million sales. 

And while UK music weekly NME sneered: “Can we have our brain-dead, half-dressed funkhop rock animals back now, please?” almost everybody else bent the knee for the album Flea considered to be “the best record the Chili Peppers have ever made”. Rolling Stone described it as “epiphanic”. Even the eminent Village Voice critic Robert Christgau got on the good foot, characterising the band as “New Age fuck fiends” and citing Scar Tissue and Purple Stain as personal highlights. 

“Because we were starting afresh, it was like being back at album number one again,” said Kiedis. As such, Californication lifted the Red Hot Chili Peppers out of the blinkered cultural ghetto One Hot Minute had left them in, and elevated their status to that of eventual inductees into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, where they duly landed in 2012. 

Indeed the long-term influence of Californication went way beyond the music. It’s a late-90s masterpiece that served as a better segue into what the 21st century was going to be all about than any other record of its era, whether funk, metal, rap, rock, or sock. 

“The art of the Red Hot Chili Peppers is first and foremost that of our music, and we never change our music as a compromise for anybody’s desires or tastes,” Kiedis had insisted during our long-ago lunch in LA. “This is showbusiness, and we are here to entertain. We like to entertain people. But there’s a lot more to it than that. People who are truly interested or concerned will find that out eventually.” 

We certainly did that.

The Russian Red Hot Chili Peppers? This Band Only Writes Songs About Life In Southern Nizhny Novgorod Oblast

By Rob Ryder | September 18, 2023

You’ve heard the songs, you’ve seen the videos, you’ve probably even heard the interviews. Anyone who hasn’t lived under a rock for the past 30 years knows The Red Hot Chili Peppers are from California. But let’s face it. Southern California is bullshit. Songs about celebrities? Plastic surgery? Softcore porn? Using heroin under a bridge? All bullshit. But thankfully for us, there’s an alternative to this sugar-coated, sun soaked hippy cry fest.

BTR may not have the same name recognition, but this tight unit of musicians from Arzamas, Russia has written 82 songs, five whole albums, about their beloved home, Southern Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. The home of the BTR-80 amphibious armored assault vehicle the band takes its name from, Arzamas serves as the unofficial Los Angeles of West Coast Russia. Okay, fine, for the geography nerds in the back, there is no “west coast” of Russia. But I hear the Ural Mountains are pretty brutal, so I guess that’s something.

What the band lacks in geographic water features, they more than makeup with obsessiveness about their Oblast. Songs like ‘Gorkyfication,’ ‘Polina Nizhny Novgorod,’ and ‘Under the Over-the-Horizon Radar Array,’ express the solitude, lack of future, and the menacing government presence looming over everyone in the region.

Granted, my own Russian Language skills are a little lacking, but that doesn’t really hurt the overall effect. Russian dialogue might as well be a Chili Peppers song anyway. Lead singer Ivan Porzivki might be singing about a magical evening spent with his soul mate. Or he could be rapping about banging a 14-year-old…honestly, I’d never fucking know the difference. The language barrier may be difficult at first, but endless lyrics about one’s hometown, no matter how interesting they may think it is, do eventually make you want to kill something, which is a rather handy skill to possess if one is to live in Mother Russia these days.

The future for BTR, like most bands with this much street cred, is pretty bleak, to be honest. Ivan says it’s a combination of touring schedules, record company demands, and Russian draft notices to ship the whole band to the front lines of the Ukraine conflict. Honestly, if I were you, I’d get into this band sooner rather than later.

Former Red Hot Chili Peppers Guitarist Josh Klinghoffer Pleads ‘Not Guilty’ to Vehicular Manslaughter

Josh Klinghoffer, the former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist who went on to play for Pearl Jam and others, pleaded “not guilty” to a misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence in a California courtroom Thursday.

Klinghoffer did not attend the hearing in person but entered the plea through his lawyer, Blair Berk. The criminal charge, filed quietly in August, stems from a deadly crash on March 18, 2024, in the city of Alhambra, just east of Los Angeles. Klinghoffer, 44, was driving a black 2022 GMC Yukon when his vehicle struck pedestrian Israel Sanchez in a crosswalk. Sanchez, 47, was pronounced dead at a hospital later that day from blunt force trauma.

Sean Combs' History of Controversies and Allegations

Sanchez’s family filed a wrongful death and negligence lawsuit against Klinghoffer in July, claiming he was on his cellphone and driving a car with no plates when the incident occurred. The lawsuit claims video suggest Klinghoffer “was likely driving while distracted” and that he “made no braking or slowing motion until after he fatally struck” Sanchez.

A source with knowledge of the investigation tells Rolling Stone that “no criminal intent is alleged” and a review of the evidence determined “there was no phone involved.” A lawyer representing Sanchez’s family tells Rolling Stone that he disagrees. Speaking after the hearing on Thursday, attorney Grayson Yoder said Klinghoffer passed in front of a business “seconds” before the crash and “appears to be holding a phone.”

“If they have exculpatory evidence, it’s never been presented to us,” Yoder tells Rolling Stone . “All I can see is what I see on the video. If he says he’s not on his phone, fine. But it’s the middle of the day, he’s coming into an intersection and there are no brake lights on his vehicle, none, not until a man is hit in the crosswalk. I’m skeptical of exculpatory evidence, and I can’t speak to the DA and their charges, but at the end of the day, in broad daylight, he had many, many opportunities for this not to have happened. There’s no other word for it besides negligence. We allege that it’s gross negligence.”

“I miss my dad,” Sanchez’s daughter, Ashley Sanchez, said after the hearing. “We’re seeking justice here. I don’t know why Josh is getting just a misdemeanor. It’s not okay. My father was a very great father.”

Klingoffer’s criminal case is due back in court on Oct. 31. The civil case, which is seeking medical costs and damages for pain and suffering, has a hearing set for Oct. 18.

“This was a tragic accident,” Klinghoffer’s camp told Rolling Stone in July. “Josh immediately pulled over, stopped the vehicle, called 911, and waited until police and the ambulance arrived. He is fully cooperating with the traffic investigation.”

Klinghoffer has been a name in the alt-rock world for some time. In 2009, he joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers, replacing his friend, guitarist John Frusciante, but was fired by the band in 2019 when Frusciante returned. He is currently on tour with Pearl Jam as a supplemental musician (he also contributed to the band’s latest album, Dark Matter ) and also works with his own band, Pluralone.
