RHCP performed for the US democrats again…
Red Hot Chili Peppers performed at one more US democrats’ convention, this time in Santa Monica last night. Here’s the snippet of the article from Daily Bruin: A mini-demographic shift then took place as the sound of Flea’s bass guitar drove some of the audience’s older members away and brought the younger members toward the stage. Lead singer Anthony Kiedis came on stage wearing a vintage Super Bowl T-shirt, which he promptly removed before the end of the first song. The band played a variety of songs, including two new ones. A touching moment occurred when Flea, the bass player, commented that Clinton had “pretty eyes,” to which Kiedis responded,…

Esquire House benefit
Beverly Hills rocked Thursday night as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Perry Farrell played a backyard party at Esquire House to raise funds for both the Autism Coalition and Surfers Healing, a non-profit that teaches autistic children to surf. Surfers Healing founders Danielle and Israel Paskowitz had brought out the star power. “I’m a dear friend of the Paskowitz family, and a surfer from way back,” Farrell said before spinning a set as his alterego, DJ Peretz. Farrell also performed two Jane’s Addiction songs, “My Time” with Flea and John Frusciante, and “Oceanside” with Flea and Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt.

On show in Boston…
Thanks to Universally Speaking! BOSTON — A little rain couldn’t dampen the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The band completely rocked Wednesday night in a concert sponsored by The Creative Coalition and the Recording Industry Association of America — easily the biggest and best party so far during the Democratic National Convention. While everyone else in attendance had the upcoming presidential election in mind, the Los Angeles-based band made only a couple of vague political statements. “The next four years in this country can be a more peaceful world,” said bassist Flea, typically shirtless and sinewy on a stage erected outside the upscale Louis Boston clothing store. “Do what you gotta…

Thanks to xfm.co.uk and Universally Speaking… The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ recent shows at Hyde Park in London set a new world record as the highest grossing concert event at a single venue in music history, bringing in an astonishing $17 million.
