The Getaway

By Zoe Camp

Warner Bros.

June 20, 2016

Anthony Kiedis has had enough of your jokes, jeers, and general bullshit–and can you blame him? 30-odd years after his band formed, the Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman can’t catch a break. While we’re all sitting on our asses, cracking jokes about his hospitalization and his best friend’s rendition of the National Anthem , he and his pals are out there hustling—spreading love and #posivibes to stadiums worldwide, rescuing babies while doing Carpool karaoke with his bandmates , and getting inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame. Music isn’t a game to him–neither are carefully-placed tube socks. Appropriately, then, the Peppers’ first single from their eleventh album The Getaway, “Dark Necessities,” is no cheerful comeback celebration–in fact, it’s downright confrontational. “You don’t know my mind,” he sneers on the chorus, “You don’t know my kind.” Fueled by this self-awareness (subservient to a broader desire to shush the haters), the Peppers have come to set the record straight. ( Take that, Mike Patton .)

Like*  2011's  I’m With You , ____The Getaway* marks a changing-of-hands in the Peppers camp: it’s their first album since 1989’s Mothers’ Milk without Rick Rubin behind the boards. While the producer's absence hasn’t stirred up the same anxiety among acolytes as John Frusciante did when he left the group at the end of the '00s, its significance can’t be understated. Sure, Frusciante's guitarist’s showy solos and funk prowess certainly played foundational roles in the Peppers' halcyon days, but as far as arrangements, engineering, sequencing, and overall sound were concerned, Rubin deserves equal credit for crafting the sonic blueprint that turned four horny goofballs from Los Angeles into kings of the global stadium circuit: crisp, crunchy, crass–and immediate.

Rubin's playbook has blessed the Peppers with a quarter-century of successful chart showings and tours, but it’s also left them sock-deep in a creative quagmire for the past several LPs, dragged down by blaring, untextured mixes and a fatal lack of boundaries in matters of alpha-male kabuki. Good thing they picked the right duo to help them clamber out of the pit on The Getaway : pop-smith extraordinaire Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton produced the record and co-wrote five of its tracks, with longtime Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich handling the mixing. If Rubin's uniform racket is engineered to tickle the reptile brain, then Burton’s approach to rock production–best illustrated by his recurring collaborations with the Black Keys–seeks to unite a divided audience through commonalities, developing frisson through the simultaneous overlaps and juxtapositions between genres, textures, and patches of negative space.

Unsurprisingly, The Getaway easily stands as the Peppers’ lushest album to date, a welcome reprieve from 25 years of cramped, inert, (and in the case of Californication , occasionally unlistenable) mixes. While their sonic tropes haven’t changed–what would a Red Hot Chili Peppers album be without Flea’s slappy solos, Kiedis’ staccato raps, or full-band funk breakdowns?–Burton's foggy, psychedelic palette marks a drastic shift in the presentation of those motifs, widening the gulf between the band's funk-metal past and their hang-loose, jam-band present. The producer’s usual cinematic flourishes (fervent strings, accentuated flange, melancholy keys) reveal his influence immediately, and occasionally excessively; The inert trip-hop arrangements showcased on “Feasting on the Flowers” and “The Hunter” (both co-written by Burton) could have come from the cutting-room floor after one of his Broken Bells sessions, while closing track “Dreams of a Samurai” suffers from a severe case of atmospheric bloat.

The Getaway proves far more successful when Burton steps back and lets the band funk around (with a little extra supervision, of course). Employing an organic approach similar to his winning strategy on Radiohead’s A Moon Shaped Pool , Godrich staggers the tracks so the band's grooves can breathe–and more importantly, so their instrumental prowess can be put to use for a change: especially the talents of guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who joined the band after Frusciante’s departure. Whereas I’m With You delegated the axeman to a textural supporting role, The Getaway casts the newest Pepper as a proper successor to Frusciante, ramping up his duties as a soloist and backup vocalist. Klinghoffer's yet to surpass his mentor's technical skill and overall gravitas, but between Kiedis’ puff-chested posturing and Flea and Smith's explosive percussive dynamics, the guitarist's restraint provides a much-needed anchor.

By now, Peppers fans know better than to expect Pulitzer-worthy poetry from a goofy bard like Kiedis: his rapping continues to function primarily as a vocal extension of his bandmates' rhythm section, rather than a thematic vehicle (unless there’s some hidden metaphorical genius embedded in couplets like “Up to my ass in alligators/Let’s get it on with the alligator haters”; I’m certainly amenable to enlightenment). Considering how the Peppers’ hopes of escaping their comfort zone led them to Burton and Godrich in the first place, the album’s lyrical stasis scans as disappointing, if unsurprising. Less than two minutes into the album, Kiedis gives his first shoutout to Call-ee-phon-ya; from there, the perfunctory Golden State worship quickly plummets into The Californians territory. "Driving down Calexico highway,” he croons on “Encore,” “and now I know the signs for sure.” Stuart, is that you? At least he delves into some other topics, including sex with robots (from the silvery highlight “Go Robot:” “You’ve got to choose it to use it so let me plug it in/Robots are my next of kin”) and Brazilians ("I met a girl with long black hair and she opened up so wide,” he boasts on “This Ticonderoga”), Iggy Pop & J Dilla (on a song called–what else?–“Detroit”), and worst of all, a dance Kiedis calls “The Avocado.” He even proffers up a few life lessons, including the following nugget of wisdom: "We are all just soldiers in this battlefield of life.”

Were it not for these  issues and the B-Side's proliferation of yawn-inducing, stoned slow jams, The Getaway could have potentially bested  By The Way as the Peppers’ best work post- Californication.  By tapping into what made the Peppers Rock Hall-worthy–their instrumental potency, their extensive knowledge of funk, their willingness to laugh at themselves (to a point)–Burton and Godrich have gracefully, gently steered the band back on the right track. At the very least, this surprisingly complex album lends credence to Kiedis’ accusations. Maybe we  don't know his mind, or his kind–or at least not quite like we thought.

Red Hot Chili Peppers “The Getaway Tour”

By Steve Jennings

The Red Hot Chili Peppers—Anthony Kiedis, vocals; Flea, bass; Chad Smith, drums; and Josh Klinghoffer, guitar—brought The Getaway Tour to Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., in early March.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers—Anthony Kiedis, vocals; Flea, bass; Chad Smith, drums; and Josh Klinghoffer, guitar—brought The Getaway Tour to Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., in early March. Rat Sound of Camarillo, Calif., provided the complete production package.

“This is my first tour mixing the RHCP,” says veteran FOH engineer Sean “Sully” Sullivan, center, with systems design and engineer Jim Locker, left, and systems engineer and P.A. tech Radek Lesa. “I replaced their longtime FOH engineer Dave Rat, who retired. We have two very different approaches to gear choices, as he was all analog and I am all digital. My point is to always use what you’re comfortable with and what makes you confident to get the job done.

“I’m mixing the tour on the Avid S6L and using AAX DSP onboard plug-ins: Cranesong Phoenix (tape saturation on pretty much everything), McDSP Vintage Comp (parallel comp on drum bus), MCDSP 6050 Ultimate Channel strip (guitar, kick, snares, VX, toms, keys and bass guitar), McDSP ML4000 (Mix Bus), Plugin Alliance SPL Transient Designer (bass guitar, kick and snare), SPL Twin Tube (bass guitar), Maag 4 EQ (lead VX), Sonnox Sony Oxford Reverb (Drum FX, VX FX), Sonnox Supressor (vocals), and SansAmp (hi-hats).

“I used to mix on the Profile, which had eight LED meters built in to the surface that I used for stereo group meters. The S6L has these, but they are tiny and not where I want them, so I had this rack built to house eight Dorrough 280D (inset), which are fed AES outs from a Stage64 at FOH. The source is my eight main groups.”

“Outboard plug-ins are all Waves Soundgrid via Multirack, connected via Avid MADI 192 and Waves MGB using two Extreme servers [one for backup], controlled by an Apple Mac Mini. I’m using onboard channel gates for all drums that are gated, and onboard compressors for vocal comps. Two Dolby Lake Processors for AES and Analog input redundancy drive the P.A.”

“I’m mixing monitors with a DiGiCo SD10, says monitor engineer Mark Vanderwall , left, pictured with monitor tech Carl Popek . “I don’t use plug-ins. I prefer to do everything internal. For outboard gear I have one 8-channel Grace preamp as a line driver for selected inputs.

“We have Shure PSM-1000s for transmitting to the band’s Future Sonic MG-6pro in-ears,” he continues. “Live mixes are sidefills (4x) Arcs, (7) Rat Superwedges, (2) Rat L wedges, Rat Supersub, (2) drum Buttkickers and EAW 12-inch micro wedges all powered by (9) Powersoft X4s.”

Anthony Kiedis sings into an Audix OM7, Flea into an AK OM-7, with an EV-967 for Josh Klinghoffer.

“Rat Sound from Camarillo, Calif., provides the FOH Control and Monitor Package for the whole world tour, and provides the P.A. system for all the U.S. dates. European tour dates were covered by High Lite Touring, Czech Republic,” says systems engineer Jim Lockyer.

“The P.A. system consists of all L-Acoustics products,” he continues. “Main hang is (16) K1 and (4) K2 per side; sub hang is (8) K1SB per side; side hang is (16) K2 per side; 270 hang is (15) Kara a side; Rat Cage is (24) LA-8 amps per side; ground amps are (3) LA-8 a side, (3) LA-12x; ground subs are (18) KS28, a total of 6-blocks-of-3 on end in cardioid. Front fills are (6) Kara; total wedges are Rat Sound SDW-22 4-way Active with 2x 12-inch, 1x 10-inch, 1x 2-inch (mid and high are concentric), powered by Powersoft X-4 amps.”

Guitarist Josh Klinghoffer has a Marshall Major with 1960B, miked with Shure SM57 and Audix OM-7, Fender Tonemaster and Tonemaster 4×12, with an Audix D3. ISO cabinet has a Heil PR-30, and the amp simulator uses two Radial J48 DIs.

Flea uses six Gallien-Krueger 2001RB heads, six cabinets, with Shure SM98 on 10-inch and 2 DIs.

Drummer Chad Smith

’s kit has a Shure 91 and Audix D6 on kick; Shure SM57s on snare top and bottom; toms are Audio-Technica AE3000; timpani is AT-4050 (x3); snare, roto toms and Octabons are ShureSM98s; cowbell and wood block are Audix M-44, and overheads are KM-184s. Pictured above right:

Red Hot Chili Peppers’ The Getaway Is Their Best in Years

Portrait of Craig Jenkins

Even in youth, the Red Hot Chili Peppers sounded old beyond their years. In both its lyrics and gripping guitar performance, “Under the Bridge,” the punk-funk pranksters’ 1991 breakout single, pined darkly for the comfort of Los Angeles, a city that brought them success and drug-addled ruin in equal measure. This same dull ache for lost days has formed the sentimental undercurrent of many of the Chilis’ finest moments on record (see: “I Could Have Lied,” “Soul to Squeeze,” “Knock Me Down,” “This Is the Place”), and as they’ve inched away from the puckish P-Funk stylings of their early years toward a new classic rock, the quality of the music has hinged on how well the band could cut to the emotional quick. The band’s 2011 album, I’m With You, was a miss on a few counts: The writing felt wonky even for a lyricist like Anthony Kiedis, whose best turns of phrase please the ear phonetically but not always conceptually, and the music meandered as the band adjusted to new member Josh Klinghoffer, a tour hand who graduated to full-time guitarist when the Chilis’ off-and-on ax man John Frusciante left again after 2006’s  Stadium Arcadium . This week’s comeback album, The Getaway, sees the Red Hot Chili Peppers foregrounding a grace and maturity the music’s always stashed behind a veneer of irreverence and playful experimentation.

Bubbly as they can still be in their 50s, Kiedis, bassist Flea, and drummer Chad Smith are no longer the spry devils of their 120 Minutes days, a truth borne out last year in a skiing accident where Flea shattered his arm and nearly wrecked his ability to play music. The downtime ended up forcing a discussion over whether the band’s creative process had outlived its usefulness. They stopped writing music by jamming until a riff stuck and took a break from longtime producer Rick Rubin, whose crisp, stark production fit their wiry funk-rock years hand in glove. Taking Rubin’s place is Danger Mouse, the crack Beck, U2, and Black Keys collaborator whose knack for blurring the lines between rock and hip-hop has put him in high demand among aging rock acts anxious to loosen up and embrace the times. The knock about Mouse, though, is that his signature sound — a beat-infused guitar pop introduced to many when he affixed the Beatles’ White Album to a cappellas from Jay Z’s Black Album on the 2004 mixtape The Grey Album — is so specific that his collaborators’ sensibilities can get lost in the bells and whistles.

The Getaway doesn’t take the Chili Peppers’ sound to the chop shop; they’re still crafting agile guitar rock with a funk underpinning. But Danger Mouse does shake up old band habits and draw out an unfussed sweetness this band’s never held across a whole album. There are pianos stacked everywhere, in the swelling intro to lead single “Dark Necessities,” the dramatic coda to “The Longest Wave,” and the lilting breakdown in the sprightly rocker “Feasting on the Flowers.” Chad Smith’s drums aren’t just the band’s limber legs anymore: In “We Turn Red,” they boom like Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham, but the funk jam “Go Robot” keeps them taut as disco-era Prince, while “Feasting on the Flowers” gives them a programmed hip-hop feel. Klinghoffer shows range, too: Check the Hendrix tribute in the quick solo that opens “The Longest Wave” or the Beatles-esque tone he takes ripping one in the back end of “Sick Love.” The Chilis have covered wider stretches of musical ground than this on other albums, but The Getaway , in allowing the mood and subject matter of its songs to mold their production and instrumentation, has variety without resorting to the disorderly sprawl of Stadium and I’m With You .

All of this attention to feel is only as useful as its front man is adept at channeling it. Anthony Kiedis is poignantly self-aware here, from the warning in the lead single’s chorus (“You don’t know my mind / You don’t know my kind / Dark necessities are part of my design”) to smirking in the Elton John and Bernie Taupin collaboration “Sick Love” that “Sick love is my modern cliché.” Though the lyric sheet holds its share of filler bars and kooky sex raps (“Take me to the river where we do a little storming / Hallelujah, I feel it warming”), a pure, questioning sadness colors these 13 songs that transcends any of the occasionally absurd words that populate them, a result, no doubt, of the singer’s breakup with girlfriend and model Helena Vestergaard in the months leading to recording. This is a band whose finest records are essentially wistful glances back at dark times, though. The Getaway burns lifetime best friends Anthony Kiedis and Flea’s individual adversities for fuel and powers the Red Hot Chili Peppers out of a late career rut with their tightest, prettiest collection of songs in more than a decade.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Getaway Tour

Red hot chili peppers in a multimedia jam session.

It was an honour to collaborate on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Getaway Tour. The fruit of this collaboration was revealed in September 2016 with the launch of the Peppers’ arena tour, in Budapest.

Moment Factory had the opportunity to work with TAIT’s kinetic light installation comprised of over 1000 Nano Winches and connected LED fixtures which hang above the band and the audience in sweeping waves of colour. It moves 60 feet vertically and as quickly as 10 feet per second creating 3D shapes, textures and movement.The installation was conceived with the band, TAIT and Scott Holthaus, as a way to bring fans even deeper into the music. So as the audience is surrounded by live sound, they also are immersed in colours and shapes inspired by each song on a new set list drafted each night.

For the largest kinetic installation produced for a tour, Moment Factory’s contribution included the design and creation of the content displayed in the kinetic installation as well as the LED screen behind the musicians. In collaboration with Scott Holthaus and Leif Dixon, Moment Factory designed a multimedia toolbox that crafts a dialogue between the playback and TAIT’s Navigator Automation Platform in order to create shapes on the kinetic installation. This ‘dialogue’ extends the band’s live presence and energy from the stage out over the crowd with an ever-evolving set of surprises.

The result is especially exciting because it creates a unifying, organic link between the installation, the audience, and the band. We were thrilled to contribute to an unforgettable fan experience while developing the next generation of live shows.
