news: Thursday 26th March 2009

Chickenfoot is the name of the new rock supergroup comprised of drummer Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), bassist Michael Anthony (ex-Van Halen), guitarist Joe Satriani and vocalist Sammy Hagar (ex-Van Halen), have announced the a solitary date in the UK.

The band's self titled debut album will be released in the UK on Monday 8th June. The album coincides with a European tour that will consist of outdoor European festivals, plus the intimate indoor rock show at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on Thursday 25th June.

"People have this idea of what this band is about, or what Sammy Hagar is about as a lyricist and a vocalist," says Joe Satriani. "We manage to get each guy to up his game in a non-confrontational way. When I play with Chickenfoot, I want to give them more all the time, and I don't hold anything back. I think the rest of the guys feel the same way."

"Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers is from Detroit and he can play the hell out of funk, but he's a rocker," says Sammy Hagar. "He plays hard and he's balanced. Chickenfoot wouldn't exist without his groove."

Tickets for the London 02 Shepherd's Bush Empire show go on sale at 9am tomorrow, Friday 27th March.
