This Is The Show

"This is the Show" is the third studio album from Pluralone the project of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Josh Klinghoffer. As former guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and a current member of both Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder's Earthlings alongside a lengthy resume of past contributions (Gnarls Barkely, PJ Harvey, Ataxia) Klinghoffer has been performing and recording music for most of his life. However Pluralone is the first time that he's truly showcased his many talents in one place as the sole songwriter and primary performer on every track. "This is the Show" was produced by Klinghoffer's Dot Hacker bandmate Clint Walsh who also performs on the album with appearances from Eric Gardner (Dot Hacker) and Eric Avery (Jane's Addiction). The record is an expansive step forward. A student of history Klinghoffer channeled the thematic anxieties of modern times and the tension of the post-World War II era while interpersonal relationships are dotted throughout.
