The Winery Dogs Releases New Video ‘Stars’ From Their Album ‘III’
As Kotzen explains, “During our last West Coast tour leg, we had a few days off in my neighborhood. Mike suggested we film another music video on one of the days off. Our crew brought our gear up to my house, and we set up right on the driveway and used the mountains as our backdrop. I was happy to do a video of the song ‘Stars,’ because I feel like it’s one of the songs that really showcases what’s special about the band, and that is our ability to improv during solo sections and feed off of each other. Even though it is a studio recording, you can really get a sense of how we interact when we’re recording and writing together. It’s great to have a visual to go along with our composition.”
“Stars”
It’s from their critically acclaimed and aptly named third album, III, which was released February 3 on the band’s Three Dog Music label (via Burnside Distribution/The Orchard) and is available on all digital formats. Three videos have previously been released from III: “Breakthrough,” “Mad World” and “Xanadu.” The hard rock supergroup consists of bassist Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, David Lee Roth, Talas), guitarist/vocalist Ritchie Kotzen (Poison, Mr. Big), and drummer Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) all possess top-level chops, creativity, and the power to knock down walls.
Sonically, III is an enthralling blend of hard rock glory, hit-single hooks, and the kind of soulful songwriting that puts TWD light years beyond a typical bash-it-out trio.
Vintage Guitar calls III, “…a killer album where potent songwriting meets upper-echelon virtuosity.”
Now that they’ve wrapped the third paw of their “202III World Tour,” which included sold-out shows throughout the U.S., Mexico and Latin America, they’ll head out for the fourth paw which will take them throughout Europe beginning October 3 in Newcastle, England. Ticket and VIP package info can be found on the band’s official website.
