Enuff Z'Nuff is an American rock band from Blue Island, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago), founded by Donnie Vie (vocals, guitar & keyboards) and Chip Z'nuff (bass & vocals). Their main influences include Cheap Trick, Off Broadway, Pezband, The Raspberries, Badfinger, Elvis Costello, Queen, and The Beatles.

Formed in 1984, the band soon grew a local following. Soon after, they had recorded their first demo songs, many of which would be released only much later in their careers. The band's first single, "Fingers On It," was featured in the 1986 movie Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer, however, the song was not available commercially until 1994.

By 1989, Enuff Z'Nuff had released their first major label offering, a self-titled debut album on Atco Records, with founding members Donnie Vie and Chip Z'Nuff being joined by guitarist Derek Frigo and drummer Vikki Foxx. They had two minor hits that year with the psychedelic-flavored pop rock songs "New Thing" and "Fly High Michelle," which both received steady airplay on MTV. The band's heavy glam rock appearance in their videos was later parodied on MTV's Beavis & Butthead.

For their follow-up album, 1991's Strength, the band tried to tone-down their glam image. It was released in 1991 to strong reviews, including Rolling Stone magazine calling the group "The hot band of the year." There were videos for the singles "Mother's Eyes" and "Baby Loves You," as well as an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. This follow-up album did not sell nearly as well as their first.

The band filed bankruptcy and left Atco Records, but soon after was picked up by Clive Davis' Arista Records for their 1993 album Animals With Human Intelligence. The album, much like "Strength," received some critical acclaim, but ultimately failed commercially. After the band was dropped from Arista, Derek Frigo decided to leave due to creative differences. However, the band has continued touring and recording up until the present, releasing albums on several indie labels, and finding a solid fanbase overseas. The band had also made regular appearances in the mid-90's through 2005 on the Howard Stern Radio Show, and there is a chapter on Chip Z'nuff in Howard Stern's book Private Parts.

Lead singer and songwriter Donnie Vie stopped touring with the group in 2002 to embark upon a solo career. Enuff Z'Nuff continued to tour in his absence as a power trio with their lead guitarist Johnny Monaco also serving as the band's frontman. In 2006, former lead-guitarist Derek Frigo died from an apparent drug overdose at the age of 36. Later that year, the existing original members reconvened to shoot a pilot for VH1's reality based show Bands On The Run. The show's pilot episode never aired. However, during that time, the band held recording sessions for their 13th studio album tentatively titled "Lost In Vegas." No estimated release date for the record has been revealed. In 2007, long time drummer Ricky Parent died of cancer. During this timeframe, bassist Chip Z'Nuff performed worldwide with Adler's Appetite, which features former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler.

It has been revealed that in early 2008, via Donnie Vie's myspace page, that Donnie (with Chip Z'Nuff) will once again be performing live as a member of Enuff Z'Nuff. Tour dates have yet to be revealed.

The Guilty Gear series of fighting games, notorious for its hard rock and metal nomenclature, features a character named Chipp Zanuff, an obvious reference to the band and its' bassist.

The last name Z'nuff is referenced on Homestarrunner in one of Strong Bad's e-mails, entitled "band names", where he cites it as an example of deriving a band name from a really cool last name of one of the members (among other examples such as Van Halen and Dokken).

Chip Z'nuff's stage name is a punctuational distortion of the phrase "Chip is enough."

In the band's earliest years, their name was spelled "Enough Z'Nuff."
