What Are These Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam Members Recording?

What happens when the Red Hot Chili Peppers' current guitarist and founding drummer get into the studio together? 

We're not really sure yet, but we're excited to find out. Over the weekend, Northern California's Prairie Sun Recording Studios posted a photo on Instagram of RHCP's Josh Klinghoffer and the band's founding drummer (who also recorded two albums with Pearl Jam) Jack Irons recording together. 

"We get a lot of interesting cats that come through the Sun but its not everyday that we get the opportunity to share Studio C with 2 (count 'em!) Rock N Roll Hall of Famers and the engineer who gets their ideas out to the world!" the post's long caption begins. "This week Josh Klinghoffer, the extraordinary multi-instrumentalist who has worked with Beck, Gnarls Barkley and has been playing guitar for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers for many years now took up residency in Studio C. The youngest member of the Hall Of Fame (inducted with the RHCP at 32 beating out Stevie Wonder for that title) came to fulfill a 20-year desire to record where Tom Waits did Bone Machine all those years ago."

"He brought engineer Eric Palmquist who has worked with the Mars Volta, Bad Suns and Thrice, amongst many other eclectic groups with him to run the Neve and make the audio magic happen," the caption continues. "It was the addition of local resident Jack Irons to the mix that gave us our second HOF member. Jack has an interesting viewpoint having been a founding member of the @chilipeppers and a member of @pearljam and the guy who passed the demo tape to Eddie Vedder and helped Pearl Jam become a reality. Jack has played with Pery Farrell, Les Claypool and a host of other eclectic artists as well. It's been a thrill having these incredible creative minds feeding off of and contributing to the Prairie Sun magic and according to Josh we'll be seeing them again here soon..."
