Behind the Sun hails from Atlanta, and band members are determined
to "fly the freak flags high" and encourage audience members to do the
same. This group of four is comprised of members from three previous
bands with different backgrounds and styles of music. But one thing
remains constant: members' ever-growing appreciation and love for the
incredible music that comes from the RHCP.When asked why this talented group of musicians decided to become a tribute band, they simply stated:"We
figured out if you look up the definition of tribute, it's all in
there. A tribute (what I feel we are doing for them, with them) when
you tribute something it is something that is done out of respect and
admiration. We are giving mad respect to them. This is how we can
acknowledge that to them."Being in a tribute band is no easy
task. You not only have to learn the songs accurately in every aspect,
from the bass lines to the guitar solos to the vocals, but you also
have to emulate the characteristics of the band members.Lead
vocalist Rev. St. Pierre owns the stage, serving up the deep, smooth
sounds just like Anthony Kiedis in songs such as "Give it Away" with
its quick, challenging lyrics and one of my personal favorites, "The
Zephyr Song." Bassist Chris Horne has to play the bass just as Flea
would, and I have to say, he does it with the absolute force similar to
the original bass-master himself. And that is not so simple to do."Their
shows are always a sexual funk show. It's all about having a good time
and being totally obnoxious on stage
