The RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS aren’t just a vegetable that leaves your mouth on fire — they’re a hot and funky band to groove to that will be playing at the Graduate tonight in I.V. Their appearance at the Pub last year put the audience in such a frenzy that the panicked bouncers felt a total loss of control (and the police arrested five, one who’d first gone through a plate glass window). With the recent death of their guitarist it’s surprising that a replacement has already been found; but the “Monsters of Sock” tour is in full force (the Chills have a fetish for getting naked and exposing tube-sock-clad members). Also on the bill is L.A.’s BROKEN GLASS and San Diego’s ELVIS CHRIST. Come ready to get sweaty. ramona
