If you want to see a full on band giving it their all then The Really Hot Chili Peppers are definately the band to see. These guys are the original Chili Peppers tribute and have stacked up over 500 gigs and still going strong. UK, Europe and Asia have all seen these guys deliver their perfect stage set to the Los Angeles band and with a lead singer just like Anthony Kiedis and a bass as mad as 'flea' from the band they are an outfit not to be missed. Expect high octane delivery from these guys and be sure to be blown away by their stage antics let alone their storming set.
