Not strictly Chili Peppers related but this may be of interest to some
Mikah Sykes, US guitarist, recently recoded an album at John’s LA home studio and is on tour in Europe for the next couple of weeks

Just an update on this post, a photo of a very young Everly Kiedis
Once again, Congratulations to Heather and Anthony
How ironic that song about Western greed and consumerism should become the subject of litigation…
Anthony, Flea, John and Chad are named as the main plaintiffs in an order against US TV producers Showtime’s latest show entitled “Californication”
Anthony claims that by using one of the bands signature song as the shows title “dilutes the value of the name… and for some Tv show to come along and steal our identity is not right”
There is rumour that Mr Smith may be forming a side project
Cosmosquad guitarist Jeff Kollman has formed a new, as-yet-unnamed instrumental group featuring drummer Chad Smith, bassist Kevin Chown, and keyboardist Ed Roth. “The chemistry between us is just really awesome!” explains Kollman. “Everyone comes from a bit of a different place musically. It’s really gelling together as a cool sound. Ed’s got the funk and ’70s R&B thing going on; Chown’s a mix of Detroit rock and Motown, and Chad brings that sick rock/funk groove that’s helped sustain the Chili Peppers for all these years. As for myself, I protect and defend the rock guitar!” The band’s debut album, which is due out in early 2008, has already been recorded and is currently in the mixing stages.
Thanks Peter!
I know there hasn’t been many updates of late but there hasn’t been much news to post about!
I’ve given the blog bit of a new look, with an updated stadium arcadium header (from the old californication header)
Also don’t forget there is an RSS feed for the blog so you can be updated when new posts appear
Not much to report yet but looks like John sat down with Tape Op magazine recently (along with producer Ryan Hewitt) and talked music and Solo X
More details as they come….
Perez Hilton, no not the heiress turned amateur porn-star, but the blogger, is reporting Mr Kiedis and Heather have had their first child today who he believed to be a boy
Congratulations to the both of them!
And so the tour which started last April ends in Leeds…
