THE RED ASTRO BAND 

A Funkadelic Tribute to the Red Hot Chili Peppers

Buckle up, Earthlings. THE RED ASTRO BAND isn’t just a tribute — it’s a full-blown interstellar funk mission, fueled by love, chili-pepper passion, and a dangerously high dose of musical rocket fuel. Born under the same sonic stars as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, this band is here to take your soul for a ride through the Milky Funk Galaxy and back again.

THE COSMIC CREW 

🎤 Charlie - Vocals (a.k.a. Captain Cosmic Funk)
Channeling the raw magnetism and barefoot wizardry of Anthony Kiedis, Charlie is a frontman from another dimension. Equal parts poetry, energy, and primal scream therapy, he doesn’t just sing — he summons the spirit of RHCP into every venue. Expect high kicks, stage dives, and sweat-levels that defy physics.

🎸 Lucas - Guitar (a.k.a. Frusci-Astro)
Lucas blends the soul of John Frusciante with the versatility of a digital-age rock shaman. A mind-melter on guitar, he’s also a killer video producer and a YouTube content machine. Seriously, if RHCP and a media studio had a lovechild, it would be Lucas — armed with a Strat and an editing timeline.

🎸 Kris - Bass (a.k.a. The Low-End Prophet)
Every RHCP tribute needs a Flea, and Kris delivers the funky fury with enough slap to make bass gods weep. With influences from Led Zeppelin to Thundercat, he doesn’t just play bass — he converses with it. His fingers speak fluent funk, fluent punk, and occasionally fluent alien dialects.

🥁 Derek - Drums (a.k.a. The Vanilla Gorilla)
Thundering behind the kit like Chad Smith after a double espresso, Derek brings the power, precision, and primal punch that keeps the galaxy in rhythm. They call him The Vanilla Gorilla for a reason — massive beats, maximum chaos, and unstoppable groove. Oh, and he might wrestle a bear on stage. No promises.

Influences From Planet Rock

Sure, RHCP is their spirit animal — but these guys also worship at the altar of Dave Grohl, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Mars Volta, and Funkadelic. Basically, if it melts faces or moves hips, they bow to it.

 FOR THE LOVE OF THE STAGE

THE RED ASTRO BAND doesn’t just play shows — they launch live experiences. Big stage? Yes, please. Stadium? Let's go. Backyard party with three dogs and a trampoline? Only if the trampoline's been tuned to cosmic frequency. They live for the energy, the crowd, the love — and to bring the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ electrifying spirit to every performance.

Get ready to sweat. Get ready to scream. Get ready to orbit the Funkiverse.
