3 LEGGED DOGG, the band featuring Chas West (ex-BONHAM) - vocals, Carlos Cavazo (ex-QUIET RIOT) - guitar, Brian Young (DAVID LEE ROTH) - guitar, Jimmy Bain (ex-RAINBOW, DIO) - bass, Vinny Appice (ex-BLACK SABBATH, Dio, HEAVEN AND HELL) - drums, have issued their debut album, Frozen Summer, via Perris Records.

The entire album is streaming at this location.

Appice commented recently about the group’s chemistry: “It works great. Carlos has a lot of ideas, a lot of riffs and different things we tried. Jimmy comes up with - out of nowhere - different changes and certain riffs that he wrote himself. We just basically try them and if we like them, we keep working on them. Chas hears a vocal line, then we'll keep working on it and develop it into a song. And then Brian Young is more of a bluesy/rock player - he's got a lot of different riffs.”

The group plans to hopefully play their first-ever live gigs sometime in 2007 – which may prove tricky, since Heaven And Hell (which includes Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler) is slated to tour for much of the year. The band intend to do 3LD video in February with Perris Records and if there are any breaks in the Heaven And Hell tour schedule, they may book some dates.

Despite the tricky scheduling, Appice is confident that 3 Legged Dogg will continue on, and begin work on their sophomore effort soon. “We're all talking about that. We got a good response on the first one. I think what we'll do is start getting together and write some stuff for the next CD.”
