In 2007 we won the "Union Blues Cup" at the Notodden Blues Festival, and the following year we released our debut album "Hotter Than Georgia Asphalt" with special appearances by Norwegian guitar virtuoso Vidar Busk. The same year we also did several concerts with Vidar at Moldejazz, a festival that has since greeted us with open arms and sold-out crowds in both 2009 and 2010.
These days we're releasing our brand new EP "My Arrival" , with excerpts being listenable on this very page. We sincerely hope you all enjoy it!

Red Hot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fully loaded, we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town, it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost anywhere in the U.S.A.
Let's go get lost, let's go get lost
Blue, you sit so pretty west of the one
Sparkle light with yellow icing, just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
So much as come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads and let us check the surf
Staying high and dry's more trouble than it's worth in the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
In Big Sur, we take some time to linger on
We three hunky dory's got our snake finger on
Now let us drink the stars, it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost right here in the U.S.A.
Let's go get lost, let's go get lost
Blue, you sit so pretty west of the one
Sparkle light with yellow icing, just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for
The song "Road Trippin'" is a nostalgic ode to the freedom and joy of hitting the open road with good company. The opening lines set the scene: the singer is traveling with their two "favorite allies," with all necessary supplies, and they're eager to "get lost anywhere in the U.S.A." The repeated refrain of "let's go get lost" emphasizes the sense of adventure and spontaneity that comes with a road trip.
As the song continues, the focus shifts to the beauty of the California coast. The line "Blue, you sit so pretty west of the one" refers to Highway 1, which runs along the Pacific Ocean and provides stunning views. The imagery of "sparkle light with yellow icing" suggests a sunset or sunrise, and again emphasizes the beauty of the natural world.
The song's chorus ("just a mirror for the sun...these smiling eyes are just a mirror for") is more abstract, but likely refers to the idea of reflection and the way that the sun and the natural world can provide a sense of perspective to those who immerse themselves in it. The lines "so much has come before those battles lost and won/this life is shining more forever in the sun" suggest that despite the struggles and hardships of life, the beauty of nature endures and provides a sense of hope and renewal.

Folks Lyric Meaning :
1. "...This song is about a trip Anthony Kiedis took in rural California with John Frusciante and Flea: "Road Trippin with my two favorite allies." This trip consolidated their friendship in this new phase of The Red Hot Chili Peppers. The song reflects a more mature Kiedis, who wrote about this friendship triangle in "Under The Bridge" when he felt left out."
2. "... like the line "these smiling eyes are just a mirror for [the sun]"
it's an alternate way of looking at the value we place on ourselves as individuals. We look out from our eyes and see the world as though we were the center of it, and as though the world revolves around us. We are the main character in the story. But in this, our eyes are so much more insignificant. Simply mirrors for the sun.
It's humbling- but not debasing. I think the intent is not to say that we are worthless, but to say that we are small. Juxtaposed with the rest of the song, we need to let go because we are small and not significant, and must make the most of what we have. For them, it is hitting the surf. For another, it might be devotion to ones family, or religion, or the environment, or cooking if they love that- but do what is important to you, and remember your eyes are just a mirror for the sun."
3. "...to me this song means getting away with the people that mean most to you and it doesnt mater where you go, as long as the company is right your'e gonna have a good time and get away from your problem for a while"
Song Fact :
~ This is one of the few Red Hot Chili Peppers songs with no drums. Drummer Chad Smith appears only briefly at the end of the video, arriving in a boat
~ The Peppers used a Chamberlin Organ on this song to get the sort of orchestral sound. According to Anthony Kiedis and Chad Smith's interview on Music Express, the original intention was to get legendary Led Zeppelin musician John Paul Jones to arrange that part. They decided against it after seeing how much it would cost them.

That's true. A good drummer
knows when to play and when not. This song wouldn't be the same if there was drums in it
