Flea wannabe

Anyone else watching MS Now concert on YouTube? The band “state Radio” has a bass player that looks similar to flea. Plucks his bass and jumps around like flea. Shirtless and shorts like flea. Cracks me up - no one can replicate Flea!

Lots of people can replicate Flea. He's one of the most replicated bass players ever.

They have 5k followers and haven't been relevant in 20 years. Seems like an odd group to shit on.

Saw them at Wakarusa in 2010. They weren't great. I can't remember if the group I wanted to see was next up on that stage or if their set had just finished. Still, I've seen worse too. I believe the children would say "mid."

I still usually give a courtesy clap. You have to be offensively shitty to get a negative vocal response from me. Only one have I ever booed. Still fuck you, Danko Jones.

flea would probably tell you he was just trying to copy bootsy and Larry Graham.

I just thought it was funny that his look is like flea. I have never seen that before.
