Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers were one of the main British Pub Rock groups of the early '70s playing a laid-back mixture of rock & roll, R&B, country, and folk. Managed by Jake Riviera (formerly Andrew Jakeman), they reached their peak as part of the infamous "Naughty Rhythms Tour" of 1975, along with other stalwarts of the same scene, Dr. Feelgood and Kokomo, each band alternately headlining on different dates.
[edit]History
The band has its origins in a folk-rock duo formed by ex-Junior's Blues Band members Martin Stone and Philip C. Lithman a/k/a Snakefinger. Lithman moved to San Francisco in the late '60s, leaving Stone to play with Savoy Brown and Mighty Baby. The duo reunited in the early '70s, recording Kings of the Robot Rhythm with vocalistJo Ann Kelly and various members of Brinsley Schwarz. The album was released in 1972; the same year, the duo expanded, adding Paul "Dice Man" Bailey, Paul Riley, and Pete Thomas to the line-up.
During the next two years, Chilli Willi & The Red Hot Peppers became a popular live act in Britain, and recorded two John Peel Sessions for BBC radio, on 9 April 1973 and 25 July 1974. In 1974, they released their final album, Bongos Over Balham, which sold poorly; the band split in 1975.
After the band's breakup, Pete Thomas became the drummer for Elvis Costello's backing band, The Attractions, Paul Riley played with Graham Parker, Paul Bailey formed Bontemps Roulez, and Martin Stone played with the Pink Fairies before quitting the music business. Phil Lithman moved back to San Francisco where he began to work with his former associates, The Residents, under the name Snakefinger.
