Chilis Are Back

I meant to post this earlier in the week, but I must've had a brain fart or something.

The Chili Peppers have just released some details about their upcoming record. It is tentatively titled Stadium Arcadium, and will be released sometime in April. Keeping with tradition, RHCP have once again utilized Rick Rubin to produce. These days Rubin is everywhere, from Shakira to the most recent Neil Diamond release, 12 Songs.

The follow-up to 2002's By the Way has been a long time in the making, as the Chili Peppers -- Kiedis, Flea, guitarist John Frusciante and drummer Chad Smith -- wrote and rehearsed for seven months before entering the studio with producer Rick Rubin.

The band is now in the mixing stage, but Flea said there's quite a lot to mix. "We recorded a huge quantity of music," he said. "We're so in the middle of it, so it's hard to step back and look at it, but we think it's the best stuff we've ever done."
