History

The group released its first demo, Hollywood Squares, in 1985.^[2] Martino left in 1987 and was briefly replaced by Pete Comita and later Alex Kane.^[3][4] By 1988, Kane and Boeski had been replaced by Derek Frigo and Vik "Vikki" Foxx, respectively.^[5] The band adopted the spelling "Enuff Z'nuff" and released its self-titled debut album in 1989.^[1] Strength and Animals with Human Intelligence followed in 1991 and 1993.^[1]

Shortly after recording was completed for Animals with Human Intelligence, Foxx left Enuff Z'nuff.^[6] and was replaced by Ricky Parent.^[7] After a disheartening performance at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, Ca., the group was dropped by Arista Records and Derek Frigo also left the band.^[1] 1985 was released in 1994, featuring recordings from the band's original lineup.^[8] Original lead guitarist Gino Martino returned for 1995's Tweaked, before leaving again shortly after its release, leaving Vie, Z'nuff and Parent to record 1996's Peach Fuzz as a three-piece.^[1] Shortly after the album's release, Johnny Monaco joined Enuff Z'nuff in 1996 as the band's new lead guitarist.^[3] He also took over lead vocal duties when Vie left in 2002.^[9] The "classic lineup" of the band reunited to record ? in 2004.^[10] A full reunion was rumored, however Derek Frigo died on May 28 that year.^[11]

Later in 2004, Parent became unable to perform when he was diagnosed with cancer.^[12] He was initially replaced by Randi Scott, and later by Erik Donner, who remained until spring 2006.^[3] Chad Stewart and Greg Potter later filled in as temporary members, before Scott returned to the band.^[3] Parent later died as a result of his condition in October 2007.^[7] Johnny Monaco left the band as Vie returned in 2008, bringing new guitarist C.J. Szuter from his short-lived project, L.A. Smogg, for a few shows.^[13] Shortly after, Szuter was replaced by Tory Stoffregen.^[3] By May 2013, Vie again left the band with Johnny Monaco returning as the group's frontman.^[14] A year later, both Stoffregen and Scott left Enuff Z'nuff on "amicable terms", with Johnny Monaco and Z'nuff opting to continue as a three-piece with returning drummer Erik Donner.^[15]

Johnny Monaco left the band for a second time in January 2016 while Z'nuff signed a new recording contract without informing him.^[16] Z'nuff subsequently took over lead vocal duties, and the band released Clowns Lounge later in the year with returning members Stoffregen and Donner, plus new rhythm guitarist Tony Fenelle.^[17] By October, Donner had left again with Daniel Hill taking his place.^[18] The new lineup released its first album Diamond Boy in August 2018.^[19] In March 2019, Fenelle quit the band and was replaced by former member Alex Kane.^[20] Fennell returned in 2021,^[21] but left in 2023 and was replaced by Jason Camino.^[22]
