Clowns Lounge is the newest studio album by Enuff Z'Nuff.[1] It is mainly an archival release that features previously unreleased songs of their recording sessions from 1988-1989 in Wisconsin, back when the band was demoing their first self-titled release on ATCO Records. The title of the album is a reference to a strip club they frequented in-between sessions there. The songs mostly feature singer Donnie Vie and bassist Chip Z'Nuff along with guitarist Derek Frigo and drummer Vikki Foxx.[2] One newly recorded song, "Dog On a Bone," has bassist Z'Nuff on lead vocals but with no involvement from Vie.[3] Another song, "The Devil Of Shakespeare," was originally recorded around 2004 and features the late Jani Lane of Warrant on vocals, along with James Young of Styx on lead guitar.[4]

On October 12th, the first promotional song "Rockabye Dreamland" officially appeared on Spotify and other streaming services such as YouTube. A second song, "She Makes It Harder," was also released to streaming services on October 24th, as well as a 3rd track, "Good Luv," on November 7th.

The first video and single, "Dog On a Bone," was released on November 21st.[5]
