After taking time to work on various other projects, the "supergroup" Chickenfoot is now gearing up for a new album. The band, made up of former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar (vocals) and Michael Anthony (bass), solo guitarist Joe Satriani and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, has begun the early stages of the group's second effort. The follow up to its 2009 self-titled debut, Chickenfoot's new album will make use of a recently installed 1608 in Hagar's home facility, Red Rocker Studios.
