September 8, 2009 - Frontiers Records proudly announces the release of WINGER’s fifth studio album entitled “Karma” on October 16th in Europe and October 27th in the USA.

WINGER reunited after more than a decade in 2006 for the release of the successful come back album entitled “IV” a record that pushed forward the boundaries of WINGER classic sound to new heights. Dealing with the concept of the military life and what it was like to be a soldier, from a soldier’s perspective, leaving politics at the door. “After Winger IV we toured the United States, Europe, Australia and Japan during which made a live record” says Kip Winger. “When the chance came up to do a new Winger record, I envisioned a upbeat totally rocking record that was a cross between the 1st Winger album and Pull. So Reb and I sat down and wrote all the music in a month or so. I worked for 6 months to finish it in the classic Winger style”.

The result is an amazing new record  where the four band members: Kip Winger (bass and vocals), Reb Beach (guitars now also in Whitesnake), Rod Morgenstein and John Roth shine with an incredible instrumental and vocal prowess at the service of superb Hard Rock songs but with an uncanny sense of melody. The title itself “Karma” represents Winger completing its full musical circle as Kip Winger explains “We were discussing the very interesting path the band has had and we have all been through so much together. So we went for “Karma” as this is a word that truly sums up the experience of being in the band”.

WINGER debut album in 1988 on Atlantic achieved platinum status in the United States, and gold in Japan and Canada sporting such hits as "Madalaine", "Seventeen" and "Headed For A Heartbreak". In 1990, the band was nominated for an American Music Award for "Best New Heavy Metal Band". Shortly after, WINGER released its second album "In the Heart of the Young", which went platinum in the U.S. and gold in Japan. The album included WINGER's biggest hit "Miles Away", who topped at #12 of Billboard charts in the USA. Their third and last studio album, "Pull", was recorded in 1992/93 as a three-piece band, following the original keyboard / guitar player Paul Taylor's departure. Produced by Mike Shipley, on the following tour John Roth was called in to replace Paul Taylor.


Usually Winger fans don’t "expect" anything because they know we do what we feel like doing artistically” explains Kip. “It is not a commercially driven band. I can say that the songs are very upbeat”. Reb Beach adds: “It's a very up-tempo riff driven rocking record. It has the elements of vintage Winger from ‘89 but has the blood, sweat and tears of years 20 years of writing, recording and touring!

Karma” will be released with the first pressing in limited digipak edition and includes the following songs:

Deal With The Devil; Stone Cold Killer;
Big World Away; Come A Little Closer; Pull Me Under; Supernova; Always Within Me; Feeding Frenzy; After All This Time; Witness; First Ending (Bonus Track). Also included there will be an Electronic Press Kit, with footage filmed in the studio during the recording sessions, that is playable on all computers as an interactive bonus.

Winger also announced their forthcoming European tour in support to the new album’s release.  See Tour Dates on this site or on Kip's and  Winger's websites, myspace or facebooks. 
More dates will follow in 2010 in Europe, USA and elsewhere !

February 16, 2009 - KIP WINGER Honored by United States Government And Military - Multi-platinum recording artist, producer and songwriter Kip Winger was recently presented with an honorary plaque and a historic United States of America flag by The Government of the United States. Winger was recognized for his musical composition "Blue Suede Shoes" honoring the service and sacrifice of the United States armed forces and their families.

In a surprise presentation ceremony during the taping of "Legends & Lyrics", General Harold Cross honored and praised Kip for his work on "Winger IV".

The flag has historic significance as it was the last United States of America flag to fly over Forward Operating Base, Kalsu, located in Iskandaria, Iraq, 20 miles south of Baghdad. Before it was turned over to the Iraqis, FOB Kalsu was the U.S. Army soldier's broadband Internet services facility in Iraq as well as a base to stop enemy activity in the Sunni Triangle.

"Winger IV"'s (Shrapnel Records) concept and emphasis was on our military and what it was like to be solider, form a soldiers perspective, leaving politics at the door. Kip had a vision to support the American troops that are standing ground in Iraq and elsewhere. "I had been doing solo shows at military bases and in speaking with many of the soldiers, their stories touched me," explains Kip. "It was amazing to hear how far-reaching our music was and how many soldiers have been moved by it. I was truly humbled by the stories."

The album artwork was handled by Ethan Van Sciver who wanted to put in his part for our military. Sciver is a renowned DC Comics book artist and penciler who has contributed (among others) to Cyberfrog, new X-Men, The Flash: Iron Heights and Impulse. The "Guardian Of Freedom" album art depicts our military's finest protecting with guardian angels that are representative of our prayers we send.

Kip is currently promoting his latest solo CD, "From The Moon To The Sun", on MVD Audio, and the soon-to-be-released "Blackwood Creek" record. He recently completed his first orchestral piece for ballet choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, director of Morphoses Ballet Co., that will be used for San Francisco Ballet. The musical world premier of "Ghosts" will be with the Tucson Symphony on November 14 and 15. Kip and Reb Beach have also just begun writing material for a new WINGER release.

June 15, , 2007 - Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess' Solo Album to Feature Kip Winger and Bumblefoot
Magna Carta Records has set a September 12 release date for the new solo album from DREAM THEATER keyboardist Jordan Rudess, entitled 'The Road Home'. Having been influenced by classic progressive acts such as GENESIS, YES and GENTLE GIANT, Rudess revisits some of the great songs from those bands with his own special Jordan Rudess touch. He is assisted on the CD by a great group of guests, such as Nick D'Virgilio (SPOCK'S BEARD), Kip Winger (WINGER), Rod Morgenstein (WINGER), Ed Wynne (OZRIC TENTACLES), Bumblefoot (GUNS N' ROSES), Marco Sfogli (JAMES LABRIE), Ricky Garcia (LAFEE) and several others.

 

 

March 30, 2007 - Since the recent release of Winger's Demo Anthology (2 CD set) and the rave reviews, I thought I would let you all know that the Japanse release, due out April 25th in Japan (May 3rd in the States) will have extra bonus tracks included so if you're interested in hearing more tracks, this is a must have.

You can pre-order from CD Japan and Amazon.com. I was hoping that NEH would be carrying this import, but in speaking with them today, they said they are not.
 

March 30, 2007 - Message from Kip Winger:

 

"The Live DVD is Mixed , still editing the Video.

and writing another movement for "Ghosts"

cheers,

From Kip's Official Website

 

March 23, 2007 - Demo Anthology is released!!!  See the main page for order details per country.

 

 

March 15, 2007 - PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD.....PASS THIS ALONG. THANK YOU!

Okay, most all of you know that Winger is my very favorite band and I would love to hear them on the radio. I had been thinking about doing this for awhile now, but since coming off the heels of the Winger tour and seeing all the enthusiasm from everyone, I wanted to get this done.

I am still working out other details as far as getting this (hard copies of the petition and CD's) to the radio stations....I mean I would love to send copies of the CD to ALL the stations but I haven't hit the lottery yet. I will probably send some to various stations throughout the country, but I am hoping with your help, we can work together to spread this petition everywhere and collect a lot of signatures to be presented to radio stations and media outlets everywhere. Winger fans are the absolute best, and most loyal......wouldn't it be awesome to hear them on the radio? Here's hoping for a successful campaign

Please sign and pass along. Thank you!

August 3, 2006 - New photos up.....see Photo section

August 2, 2006 (Courtesy of  MelodicRock.com)

THE FIRST TASTE OF BRAND NEW WINGER!:
Frontiers Records is pleased to unleash all details surrounding the much talked come-back album from
Winger simply entitled IV.
13 years since the release of the critically acclaimed record
Pull, Winger are now a five-piece band comprising of Kip Winger (on vocals and bass), Reb Beach (on guitar), Rod Morgenstein (on drums), John Roth (on guitar and keyboards) and the new addition, Cenk Eroglu (guitar and keyboards).

The new album, according to Kip Winger is the result of my chemistry with Reb Beach. "Songwriting and composition are the most important thing to me", says Kip, "In my opinion good songs are a combination of life, experience and accident. On Winger IV all of those things came together. Reb and I are more comfortable with each other now and our musical roles with respect to each other are more clearly defined.  

IV is definitely a career-defining album for the experienced musicians that created it. This was a very magical record. I gave it everything I had, I thought of the overwhelming support I've had over the years by the die hard fans and really wanted to give them something worth listening to", says Winger.
The record has a very diverse feel the aggression of tracks like Right Up Ahead, M16 or Livin Just To Die, the mystical elements Disappear, the lyricism and sheer melodies of Blue Suede Shoes, On A Day Like Today and the political elements of Can't Take It Back and Generica.

The album has something for everyone.
"Several songs on this record" reveals Kip,
"were inspired by my experience performing at a few military bases, after meeting some of the men and women who are in the line of fire. I wrote songs like Blue Suede Shoes, Right Up Ahead and M16 as a way of giving something back to the soldiers who sacrifice themselves for the rest of us to live free."
Winger's return album will be unleashed on the markets on Frontiers Records on October 20 with a Japanese release on King Records with the following final track listing:
Right Up Ahead; Blue Suede Shoes; Four Leaf Clover; M16; Your Great Escape; Disappear; On A Day Like Today; Livin' Just To Die; Short Flight To Mexico; Generica; Can't Take It Back.
