Red Hot Chili Peppers 1984 Tour was a concert tour by Red Hot Chili Peppers to support their 1984 debut album, "The Red Hot Chili Peppers".
 Following the band's brief first tour the previous year, original members, Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons left the band to tour and record with their own band, What Is This?
 who had also obtained a record contract shortly before the Chili Peppers did.
 Slovak and Irons considered the Chili Peppers a side project and What Is This?
 to have the brighter future.
 In late 1983, auditions were held and Irons was quickly replaced by Cliff Martinez, best known for his work with The Weirdos, The Dickies and Captain Beefheart.
 Dix Denney, Martinez's Weirdo's bandmate was close to becoming the band's new guitarist however after a few rehearsals they felt Denney's style didn't match what the band wanted.
 Through further auditions it came down to a guy named Mark Nine and Jack Sherman.
 The band had no clue as to who Sherman was or how he got to the audition but knew he was the best fit because he instantly clicked musically with bassist Flea and Martinez.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers 1983 Tour was the first-ever concert tour by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
 Originally formed as a joke band called "Tony Flow And The Miraculously Majestic Masters Of Mayhem" by bassist Flea, guitarist, Hillel Slovak and drummer, Jack Irons, all friends from high school.
 They asked fellow high school friend, Anthony Kiedis to join them onstage for their first-ever show at the Hollywood, California venue known as The Rhythm Lounge.
 Kiedis had previously been a MC to introduce his friend's former bands.
 However, this time Kiedis was asked to sing.
 With one song, a made-up rap Kiedis created called "Out In L.A.", the band took to the stage as an opening act for Neighbor's Voices.
 The club owner was so impressed by their performance he told them to return the following week with another song.
 The band quickly wrote "Get Up and Jump" and played it at that second show.
 In early March 1983 the band made the name change to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
 The band first made a name for themselves on their local club scene when they played the famous Kit Kat Club by doing their now famous socks on cocks routine (this would become a trademark for the band and something they would do on occasion for many years).
 After this performance, Lindy Goetz decided to be their manager, a role he would hold until 1999.
 The 1983 tour consisted of shows mostly in the band's homestate of California except for one show in Nevada.
 A 10-song demo tape was recorded with Spit Stix, drummer for the punk band Fear, which Flea was briefly with.
Silverlake Conservatory of Music is a nonprofit educational organization formed in California.
 It was founded in 2001 by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist, Michael "Flea" Balzary and Keith "Tree" Barry (longtime touring musician with the Chili Peppers) to foster music education, with Chili Pepper's member Anthony Kiedis also on the board.
 The facility organizes an annual "Hullabaloo", one of which featured performances by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eddie Vedder and Charlie Haden, and the Chili Peppers raised $1 million for the Conservatory during an August 24, 2011 performance at Club Nokia.

 While the band has not formally announced a breakup, in June 2016 Smith said that he had doubts about the band touring or recording again due to the busy schedule of each band member.
