Super Chicken

Before even releasing their self-titled debut on June 9th, new rock supergroup Chickenfoot have already sold out all nine road-test concerts they had planned for May. The quartet — which features former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar and Mike Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani — posted on their official site, “Beyond our expectations, the public on-sales for the nine road-test shows sold out all tickets in record time. The band was blown away by your response and can’t wait to take the show on the road!”
