Red Hot Chili Peppers bass player Flea will release a solo E.P," Helen Burns" to benefit the Silverlake Conservatory of Music.
Flea explains " Hi people who like The Red Hot Chili Peppers! I love you a lot! Mucho! Just wanted to give you a heads up about this little record 'Helen Burns' I am putting out on the Silverlake Conservatory website. Warning! It is not a Chili Pepper record. It does not have songs that are like the Chili Peppers at all. It is a mostly instrumental, weird and arty record, the music is mostly just me creating soundscapes that are very emotional for me, but certainly not for everyone! Just me tripping out at home. I am putting it out to raise money for The Silverlake Conservatory of Music a community based non profit music school that I am an integral part of. There you have it. See you all soon I hope! "
Downloads of the EP are available at "a name your own price" HERE until August 9th when it becomes available at all digital retailers. Additionally, there will be a limited edition 180-gram vinyl release that will be personally signed by Flea and will come with a piece of one of the bass strings he used while touring. The vinyl can also be ordered HERE
If Flea's description of the recording doesn't take your fancy, contributing to a good cause might. The Silverlake Conservatory of Music is non-profit organization founded by Flea and a couple of friends back in 2001. Their mission is to facilitate basic music education for the youth of the community but anyone is welcome. The Conservatory offers private music lessons at a reasonable cost and grants scholarships to children in need, providing free lessons and instruments. The study of music enriches the life of the student as well as the community and society.
