PAUL SCHRAG: THE FUCKING EAGLES CD RELEASE PARTY >>>

It’s a misnomer that eagles fuck while in flight. Eagle courtship does, however, involve elaborate and beautiful nuptial displays, both calls and aerobatics, including swoops and frantic chases. The most dramatic courtship behavior witnessed in bald eagles is called “cartwheeling,” in which the pair of potential lovers fly to a great height, lock their talons together, plunge toward earth, spin out of control, and break away just before they hit the ground. That kind of describes the sound emanating from The Fucking Eagles.

The Fucking Eagles will celebrate the release of their latest bit of wax, Midnight Sour, Friday, Aug. 21 at The New Frontier Lounge. From their official MySpace, “It's called Midnight Sour and it's a concept record! Holy bad ideas! Sheesh”.

The Fucking Eagles are a beautiful blend of garage-punk and groove. If you know the band, and can remember seeing them in concert, you may recall a lot of sweaty people dancing. Some of them lock talons, and many of them plummet to the ground. But they don’t stop moving. Because the Fucking Eagles fucking rule.
