Nine new photos of CHICKENFOOT recording in the studio shot by photographer John Cuniberti can be found at the bottom of this page. Producer Andy Johns (VAN HALEN, LED ZEPPELIN) is pictured with the band which features former VAN HALEN singer Sammy Hagar, guitarist JOE SATRIANI, former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith.

As previously reported, Chickenfoot’s self-titled debut CD will be released in either April or May. The first single might be either 'Oh, Yeah!' or 'Bitten By The Wolf'. The tour will kick off in May, warming up in smaller venues (possibly clubs) in the USA followed by a few weeks in Europe during the summer. Then the band will return to the USA for a larger headlining tour this fall. The band is planning on performing the entire CD as well as songs from each of the band members careers.

Joe Satrianai recently described Chickenfoot’s music to Billboard.com as, “High-energy, kick-ass rock’n'roll. We all bring to the table some unusual influences and then we also share a lot of roots. And I think that’s where a true color of a band comes out, just how we react to each other. So, it’s definitely rock music. We haven’t brought each other together to do a techno record.”

He described the music as “Funk, blues and experimental. The material is really slamming, and anybody who has ever been around Chad knows that he is a very huge personality, a very high-energy guy and his drumming in person is explosive. This band really gives him carte blanche to go crazy. I think it’s the best of what you’d expect, that’s the best way to put it. No one is acting out of character.”
