Chickenfoot, the supergroup comprised of Joe Satriani, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, has announced details regarding the release of its self-titled debut album. Specifically, the disc will be released by earMUSIC in Germany on June 5 and in the U.K. on June 8, with a Best Buy release in the U.S. scheduled for June 7. The album will also be available at iTunes.
The members of Chickenfoot came together last year during jams held at Hagars club, Cabo Wabo Cantina, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
"We were just having fun," recalls Michael Anthony. "After Sammy and I left Van Halen, we'd get together with musicians, and certain people seemed to really gel. Chad came down and we got on well with him. Gradually, we started talking about doing something more serious, but we needed a guitarist. Somebody smokin' - somebody who could take us to the promised land."
Enter Satriani, who was looking to fulfill his lifelong dream of being part of a big time rock band.
After just a few songs, it became stunningly obvious that we shared an overall musical agenda, the guitarist says. [I felt] an immediate connection unlike anything I'd ever experienced before.
The album, which Satriani has characterized as like early Led Zeppelin, will come packaged with heat-sensitive artwork that displays photos of the band members when you place your hand on the CD inlay. The release will coincide with a European tour consisting of outdoor festivals and intimate indoor shows.
