"Finding songs that seem to want to join hands with
others is a special task that require the right people... and the right
songs!" said RHCP guitarist Josh Klinghoffer. "Some songs seem to
have a lot more of an agenda than others. Some songs play well with others and
some songs need more attention and a little extra care. Here are some songs
that seemed to want to pair up and take a later train. Keep your eye on them,
they're up to something..."
Each of the nine seven-inches will feature cover artwork by
Kelsey Brookes (www.kelseybrookes.com). Brookes' well-documented background
in microbiology, surf culture and folk art combine in explosive prisms of
raucous color, bold imagery and timeless motifs. His work has appeared in
countless group shows, art fairs, and magazines such as GQ, Modern Painters,
Juxtapoz, Beautiful Decay and Dazed and Confused.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are currently on a world tour in
support of I'm With You, and playing sold out arenas around
the globe.
