There’s a famous quote in music journo land that goes like this: “I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”
Its origin? Nick Cave, and in the 25 years since he said it, it's been equally praised or derided depending on your particular point of view as to whether rock + funk should ever have become ‘a thing’.
