Live music is back in the States and Chip Z’Nuff is one of the first out on the road. With the soon to be released ‘Never Enuff’ Box Set just about to drop there’s also 40 vintage Enuff Z’Nuff Demos for fans to savor.

For those that know me, they’ll know home much I love Enuff Z’Nuff who over the years have put out some wonderful albums. Both Chip and Donnie of course still continue to make great music and it’s always a pleasure to catch up with them. We managed to get hold of Chip a couple of days ago as Enuff Z’Nuff were preparing to hit the stage with Faster Pussycat from Fort Worth on the Quarantine Tour. We got to talk all about what it’s like to be back on the road and also about the new collection.

Check out the review of ‘Never Enuff’ HERE, the album hits August 27th!

From the vault of bassist Chip Z’nuff and vocalist Donnie Vie comes this long buried treasure of early ’80s demos that chronicle the very birth of melodic glam rockers Enuff Z’nuff. Never Enuff – Rarities & Demos, officially scheduled for release on August 27, features high-quality studio recordings consisting entirely of unreleased, original material written by Z’nuff and Vie as they honed their songcraft in the years leading up to their 1989 Atlantic Records self-titled debut album, which featured the massive hit singles “New Thing” and “Fly High Michelle.” All of the band’s elements were present in these early days – the Beatles-esque melodies, the dynamic harmonies, and the feel-good, hippy-vibe energy – all of which have served to make Enuff Z’nuff one of the longest lasting acts to emerge from the glam metal explosion. Just give a listen to the melodic rocker “Bye Bye Love” that the band shares today on digital platforms. No, it’s not a cover of The Everly Brothers well-known song but its melody is just as effervescent and unforgettable, and but a taste of things to come!

The Never Enuff box comes in both physical formats, as either a 3CD set or 4LP vinyl set with spectacular psychedelic colored vinyl. Both formats include a deluxe booklet featuring numerous rare and unseen photos of the band, many of them shot by veteran photographer Paul Natkin, as well as fan submitted photos from over the years. The booklet’s liner notes were penned by Z’nuff and Vie themselves sharing details about their early struggles in making a name for themselves, defining and refining the band’s sound, and surviving their hard-partying youth!
