Question: Which band was formed first, Red Hot Chili Peppers or UB40?

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. <SEP> 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. <SEP>  The group's musical style primarily consists of rock with an emphasis on funk, as well as elements from other genres such as punk rock and psychedelic rock.  When played live, their music incorporates elements of jam band due to the improvised nature of many of their performances.  Currently, the band consists of founding members vocalist Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea, longtime drummer Chad Smith, and former touring guitarist Josh Klinghoffer.
