The Red Hot Chili Peppers formed in 1983 and are a pop/rock group. In middle school I remember being obsessed with Dani California. The original members were Anthony Kiedis (vocals), Michael Balzary aka Flea (bass), Hillel Slovak (guitar), and Jack Irons (drummer). The band didn’t always have the original members though, they went through many different drummers and guitarists. They got really popular because of their live performances such as “sox on cox” where they quite literally only wore a long sock on stage.
Their first album to finally hit the charts was The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. After Slovak’s death in 1988, the group released Blood Sugar Sex Magik in 1991. After this and the release of some top hits like Under the Bridge. This was when they cycled through many replacement band members, but most left due to drug addiction. In 1999, they performed at Woodstock, but that led to riot. In the 2000’s, the released their albums By the Way and Stadium Arcadium. Then more recently they performed the halftime show alongside Bruno Mars in 2014.
Attached below is one of the Sox on cox performances. I apologize if its not appropriate, but things are blurred out.
