Influences
nature, wizardry of many stripes, our friends bands, mother eagle and her talons of love, the symphonic faint technicolor web, other tough ass ladies who make sweet tunes, rock n roll
Like three ancient sorceresses rubbing their gnarled hands over a slowly boiling cauldron, Purple Rhinestone Eagle continues to craft their uniquely heavy, ferverish sound.

Some press on us:
"After crowning themselves Purple Rhinestone Eagle, there is little doubt these women possess an epic sense of humor. In their recent music video, PRE execute their heavy serenade, "In the Shelter of Your Love," in the presence of a spastic wizard puppet whose eyes shed bloody tears from smoking too much ganja. Don't be fooled though, these girls can rock. Purple Rhinestone Eagle stirs up a black cauldron, mixing obscure psyche bands from the '60s with sexed-up call-and-response vocals similar to the Third Sex or The Woods-era Sleater-Kinney. In an attempt to demystify their highly decorative band name, PRE's bassist, Morgan R.D., addresses its theoretical context: "Sometimes certain images or phrases need to be recaptured, casting aside preconceptions and arbitrary values... Why should the eagle be resigned to a cartoonish emblem for capitalism or a rhinestone seen as worthless? The eagle is majestic and fierce and I'll take a rhinestone over a diamond any day.
" - EM BROWNLOWE, Portland Mercury
Of all the things I miss, I miss the Eagle the most. Godspeed and Rock 'n Roll! ps: I'm moving to Portland in roughly a year and will be there once a month until then! Sooo, that means I'm making sauce and we're having dinner. Tell all your friends!
Holy Shit! I seriously cant convey how much I hope you ladies are loving your experiences bringing the awesomeness to the unknown! You're like some kind of fantastic nymph warrior legends who chop people's heads off with rock music! Holy shit!
