I had the pleasure of talking to Chip about the new record and the current Hair Nation tour. This is how it went -
I know you are releasing DIAMOND BOY this week. Tell us more about it, what do you want your fans to know?
Chip: It's rock, it's pop, it's heavy metal. A potpourri of what we stand for. It was recorded in IL on 2" tape...old elements and very tedious. It only took two months.
We are on Frontiers Records with Journey, Night Ranger and others. They are terrific, a strong label. I feel like we are with the "godfather"....real veterans.
You have a new tour coming up. The Hair Nation Tour that starts in September:
Chip: This is the brainchild of Eddie Trunk. Bringing back the Sunset Strip feel. This tour is reasonably priced, $20-30. Everybody will come out to do a meet & greet.
We'll be on the road with our good friends JACK RUSSELL'S GREAT WHITE. They are the headliner and they should be the headliner. We are lucky to be out with them and our friends, THE BULLET BOYS.
We've sold over 20M records between the three bands. Absolutely love Jack, he's a big brother, we have toured together.
It starts in San Diego in September at the House of Blues, and then off to the East coast, the Midwest - 40 dates, it's exciting for all of us!
What do you like most about it being 2018 instead of 1984 again?
Chip: The internet, social media...makes it easier. The fans come out. But, in 1984 you could sell more records...it is more challenging now!
Who would you most like to play with, dead or alive?
Chip: Queen, The Who, Frank Zappa, The Struts, Greta Van Fleet, Foo Fighters...
What makes you tick Chip? You have such a style, such a look...people don't forget you.
