 Red Hot Chili Peppers is a funk rock band that is based in Hollywood, California and was formed in 1983. The band initially formed as a joke act, calling themselves Tony Flow and the Miraculous Masters of Mayhem.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication 

Psychic spies from ChinaTry to steal your mind's elation
Little girl from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations

The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It's understood that Hollywood
sells Californication

Glad you made a lens on them. Now I don't need to. Thanks!
I love the RHCPs!! They remind me of home (CA). I tell my kids they can play Parallel Universe at my funeral because "you can die but you are never dead."

Thanks for making RHCP lens. They're one of my favorite bands. Went to their concert when I was still in Australia in 2002 or 2003, I forgot and that was the best concert ever. 5 stars!
