Red Hot Chili Peppers announce new guitarist

added: 4 Jan 2010 // by: newsdesk 

30-year old Los Angeles guitarist and producer Josh Klinghoffer is the replacement for John Frusciante in Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Klinghoffer was a member of short-lived L.A. experimental band Ataxia that also included Frusciante as well as Fugazi bass player Joe Lally. Klinghoffer was the drummer in that band.

He has played as a session musician over the years with Beck, Butthole Surfers, PJ Harvey, Gnarls Barkley and the Chili Peppers.

He also worked on Frusciante's solo albums so he is a well-qualified replacement in the Chili Peppers.

John Frisciante left Red Hot Chili Peppers a year ago but only made it known officially in December 2009.

Red Hot Chili Peppers have been working on their next album since October, 2009 and it will be released in late 2010.

There first show with Josh will be on January 29, 2010 when they pay tribute to Neil Young at MusiCares.
