Enuff Z’nuff is a living, breathing example of what a rock/ pop group should be. The band was formed in 1984 in Blue Island, Illinois. Its first release, "Fingers On It," gave the band some initial recognition when the track was featured in the 1986 cult movie Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.
By 1989, original members, Chip Z'Nuff and Donnie Vie were joined by guitarist Derek Frigo and drummer Vikki Foxx. The band had signed with Atco/ Atlantic Records that same year and released their debut self-titled album. The album spawned two HIT singles that would change the course of the band's history, ‘New Thing’ and ‘Fly High Michelle.’ Both songs were played constantly on the radio and gained heavy rotation on MTV spending over 60 weeks in the top 10, and they’re still playing these songs today!
1991 saw the band release its follow-up, Strength. The album had more of a rock overtone, and following its release, the band became regulars on shows like David Letterman and Howard Stern and was featured in Rolling Stone’s hot issue as ‘The Next Big Thing.’
In 1993 the band left Atco records and signed to Clive Davis’s Arista Records, releasing the album,’ Animals With Human Intelligence.’ The album gained lots of critical acclaims, and was considered a masterpiece to their peers.
Still a major force after 20+ albums, Enuff Z’nuff still has a legion of loyal fans, and has continued to tour relentlessly worldwide!
