JOE SATRIANI Issues CHICKENFOOT Update

March 13, 2009

Guitarist Joe Satriani has issued the following update on CHICKENFOOT, his new supergroup also featuring singer Sammy Hagar (ex-VAN HALEN),bassist Michael Anthony (ex-VAN HALEN),and drummer Chad Smith (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS):

"Chickenfoot. Chickenfoot? Chickenfoot! Yes, the band CHICKENFOOT, featuring Sammy Hagar, Chad Smith, Michael Anthony and yours truly, is about to release its first CD, called 'Chickenfoot', of course.

"It was one year ago this last February that we first got together in Vegas for a little jam in front of a few thousand people, and decided to make a go of it. I'm glad we did.

"Thinking back, it seemed kind of crazy to join a new band just as I was about to release [the latest Satriani CD] 'Professor Satchifunkilus'... and launch its world tour. All the hard work paid off, though.

"Our 'Live in Paris' DVD from that tour will be released this year in all its psychedelic glory, and the CHICKENFOOT CD should be out in about a month or two. As a new band, CHICKENFOOT will do a few CD-release party gigs in May to kick things off, then it's off to Europe for a few weeks of summer festivals. We are looking towards a headlining tour in the USA this fall.

"I'm so excited about bringing our new band and music to the stage. The energy this unit puts out is incredible, absolutely amazing. CHICKENFOOT rocks!"

A short promotional video clip from CHICKENFOOT can be viewed below.
