ENUFF Z’NUFF – New Album To Feature Recordings From Late Guitarist Derek Frigo; Audio

On a new episode of Talking Metal, Mark Strigl talks with Chip Z’Nuff of Enuff Z’Nuff.  Topics include Howard Stern, Mancow, Donnie Vie, Blue Island, his work with Kanye West, upcoming tour dates opening for Ace Frehley, the Tweaked album, Enuff Z’Nuff’s issues with drugs, his recording studio, his autobiography and producing Jessie Camp’s band.

He also reveals that the forthcoming Enuff Z’Nuff album Clowns Lounge will feature the late Derek Frigo on guitar. Frigo died in 2004 from an apparent drug overdose at the age of 37.

Rock icons Enuff Z’Nuff will release a brand new studio album in the fall of 2016.

Wrongly lumped in with the disposable pop-metal bands of the late '80s, Enuff Z'Nuff are a truly gifted act. Founded in Chicago in 1984 by Chip Znuff, Enuff Z’Nuff arrived with their self-titled debut in August 1989, scoring a couple of hit singles with "New Thing" and "Fly High Michelle”. The follow up was 1991's Strength album, where the band had noticeably toned down their image and turned up their creative ambitions to deliver a masterful '90s take on the crunchy power pop sound of Cheap Trick and Badfinger.

As of today, Enuff Z’Nuff is still going strong and continues touring the globe. Singer-songwriter Johnny Monaco now fronts the power-pop trio along with co-founder Chip Z’Nuff and drummer Erik Donner.

Chip Znuff says, “We are very excited with this new deal with Frontiers, thanks to old friend who discovered us, Derek Shulman. The new record is pure ROCK and features a couple rockstar friends, most notably James 'JY' Young (Styx), and the late great Jani Lane (Warrant) singing on one of his last recording sessions.

“The band will be touring through 2016, worldwide. A few of the titles on the new Enuff Z'nuff record are: "Good Luv", "Radio", "Nothing", and "The Devil Of Shakespeare".

“Wishing everyone a prosperous 2016 and may the BEST thing that happened to you last year be the WORST thing that happens to you this year!”
