Ready for Quiz #5?

It’s time!

.

Quiz Rules/Format
(Same as last year, feel free to skip to the quiz if you know the rules already)

Your Task: Name the mystery Artist, ideally with as few clues as possible.

Correctly guess the artist on the first clue? 500 points.

After scrolling down to the second clue? 400 points.

Still don’t know after the fifth clue? 0 points, but a crisp high-five for participating.

I’ll use google translate to put the correct answer at the bottom in Arabic (if you read Arabic, that’s fantastic, but no cheating by reading ahead!) and you can translate it back to the language of your choice to confirm your answer.

In the comments, please enter your POINTS earned (not the artist name) and I’ll keep track of the running totals in a spreadsheet.

In addition to eternal bragging rights, the winner at the end of the year may even get something as prestigious as a digital certificate.

Here goes!

Artist of the Week #5
Record POINTS Earned (Not Artist Name) in the comments
(scroll down for additional clues)

For:

500 points………………..American band, formed in 1983, still active today; its bassist (birth name Michael Peter Balzary) is also an actor, perhaps most prominently in his role as the peer pressuring “Needles” in Back to the Future II & III….

.

.

.

.

.

400 points………………..though this band’s funky bassist tends to go by his small-flightless-insect stage name (and this band’s drummer bears an uncanny resemblance to the actor Will Ferrell)

.

.

.

.

.

300 points……………….Even if it may seem like singer Anthony Kiedis name-checks his home state in every song, on their 1999 album, Californication, somewhat surprisingly, the prefix “Californi-” only appears in 4 tracks

.

.

.

200 points…………….My attempt at recreating this spicy-sounding band’s logo (and By The Way, My Friends, this art is free, I Give it Away!):
