Peppers fans will lap it up." --Publishers Weekly

moment in music history, Out in L.A. captures the spirit of the Red
Hot Chili Peppers's music in all of its rambunctious
glory."--Foreword Reviews

side." --Kirkus Reviews
"Out In L.A. is a detailed look at the nascent stages of the Red
Hot Chili Peppers' illustrious career. There's insight on the band
members themselves, their peers and fans, as well as the thriving
underground scene they helped to create. Done in a unique,
gig-by-gig, blow-by-blow style, Hamish Duncan's comprehensive
research and attention to detail brings not just the band's early
history to life, but shines a light on the wildly unique party that
L.A.--and Hollywood, specifically--was in 1983. This is a must-read
for Chili Peppers aficionados, but also for anyone interested in
rock 'n' roll history." --Pleasant Gehman, author of Rock 'n' Roll
Witch: A Memoir of Sex Magick, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll
"This is as close as you will ever get to experiencing the
formative year of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. With unparalleled
insight, Out in L.A. transports you back to the clubs where the
band made their name, and puts you front and center as four young
brothers set about changing the musical landscape forever. A truly
remarkable achievement." --Ben and Sam Townsend, Universally
Speaking: The Red Hot Chili Peppers Podcast
"A must-have for any serious Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. A level of
detail exceeding even Bob Spitz's work, Out in L.A. is a
single-year focus on the formation and on-goings of the Chili
Peppers when they were boys navigating the chaos of 1980s Los
Angeles. Deeply informative, deeply entertaining." --Dan Bogosian,
author of Red Hot Chili Peppers FAQ
"Hamish delivers the most comprehensive look at the Red Hot Chili
Peppers' first year together. His account of each show takes you
back in time and makes you feel like you are in the small L.A.
clubs watching a new band grow in front of your eyes." --Keith
Rothschild, RCA Records Executive
