Chickenfoot Debut Almost Ready

The band that is currently known as Chickenfoot is well underway with its debut album, reports Planet Rock.
The band, which features Joe Satriani, former Van Halen alumni Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony and Red Hot Chili Pepper Chad Smith, has recorded nine songs for their album.
Speaking to Billboard.com Joe Satriani says that the idea for the new band came about in February when they played together for the first time.
"We were very excited about that show," tells said. "We had never played together before and when we walked off stage, we looked at each other like, 'Wow, there's a connection here. We should do something about it.' So last week we were together for five days and we recorded nine tracks.
"As soon as Sammy and myself finish touring our separate solo tours we'll reconvene in Northern California and finish the record," he continues. "We hope to mix the album in January, have it ready for April and then we'll follow it up with a tour."
He added that the band’s current name of Chickenfoot was simply something that Sammy Hagar had come up with and will not be the actual name that the band use.
And what can we expect from rock’s latest supergroup? "We'll draw from funk, blues and experimental. We know what we want to get out of it,” he told Billboard. “We want passages in songs that develop and we want everyone's personality to be able to come out. So, it's going to be expansive but it's going to be rough."
