Los
Angeles, CA…On August 19, Cleopatra Records will release COVERED IN GOLD, the
first covers album ever recorded in the 30-year history of Enuff Z’nuff. The 14-track record honors the diverse
influences that inspired the band, and includes fan-favorite songs often heard
in the band’s live sets.
From
reverent takes on classics from The Beatles (“Run For Your Life”) and Nirvana
(“All Apologies”) to surprising takes on Prince’s “When Doves Cry” and the
blistering “Stone Cold Crazy” from Queen, Enuff Z’nuff demonstrates the core
reason for its longevity in music:
taking cues from exceptional and broad role models and creating an
accessible but unique sound around them.
To that end, the band takes a pop TV theme song, “Believe It Or Not” from
The Greatest American Hero and turns it into a refreshed pop
gem.
In
1989, Enuff Z’nuff released its self-titled debut, and the hit singles “New
Thing” and “Fly High Michelle,” which earned them the first of two Gold records,
huge credibility in the music video landscape, and legions of fans from the pop,
rock, hippie, metal, and glam communities.
Rolling Stone, David Letterman, and Howard Stern have all been continued
vocal supporters of the band. Founder
Chip Z’nuff continues to be the cornerstone, keeping the group active on stage
and in studio with fresh musicians coming into the fold as change required. Twenty albums and countless concerts later,
Enuff Z’nuff continues to deliver melodic, accessible
rock.
In
addition to a new career in broadcasting as a go-to guest on Howard Stern’s
radio show and co-host of “Mancow TV,” Chip is working with Steven Adler (Guns
‘n Roses, Adler’s Appetite) on two albums to be released this year. Both THE DEATH OF JOHNNY ROTTEN JR. and
ADLER’S ENOUGH will feature guest artists like Robin Zander and Dale
Bozzio. A new record of Enuff Z’nuff
originals is planned for 2015.
