The Red Hot Peppers
The Red Hot Peppers were a rock/pop group who formed in Hamilton c.1975. Initially they comprised Robbie Laven (multiple instruments), Marion Arts (vocals) (both formerly of 1953 Memorial Society Rock'N Roll Band), Mike Farrell (guitar), Phil Baxter (bass) and Jim McMillan (drums). Hans Laven replaced Farrell on guitar while still based in Hamilton. During this time they released the album Tojours Yours and the single Dreams to Come.
After their initial releases failed to sell in large quantities, The Red Hot Peppers disbanded in early 1977. However, they soon reformed (late 1977) in Australia, comprising R. Laven, Arts, Farrell, with new members Vaughn Mayberry (drums) and Pete Kershaw (bass). Three further singles and two albums were released. More information can be found here: [1]
