These dates include shows with our label mates Witch's Hat and Gentleman Auction House as well as Holy Fuck and Call Me Lightning. Check out the SHOWS section for more info on that as well as some other rad shows we will be doing in the next few months. That is it for now, go buy HOT SHOULDERS if you haven't already HOT SHOULDERS our new record will hit the streets on 8/21/07, the vinyl version will hit streets on 9/11/07. Hot Shoulders is available for pre-order all over the web, just check it out. We will be doing a huge cd/lp release show at Mojo's in Columbia, MO on 8/25/07 with our friends Haymarket Riot (from Chicago) and Billy Schuh (of the foundry field recordings). There will be free pizza and free beer for the first 100 people. We will follow up the release show with a 3 week tour out west and then a 3 week tour out east (heading to CMJ). Check out the show page for updates on that. We also are pround to be a part of SOLID PR now. Please check out www.solidpr.com. Here are the first reviews of "Hot Shoulders" 1. From: www.Pastepunk.com BALD EAGLE "Hot Shoulders" (Emergency Umbrella) Review by Corey Schmidt A throbbing rhythm section! Funkalicious rock n' roll riffs! Active, scratching-at-the-throat lead vocals! And a rough recording job to match it all! Woo! This is the stuff BALD EAGLE is made of and puts to use on Hot Shoulders, the band's latest release for Emergency Umbrella. Nestled in the vigorous vein of SADAHARU, HOOVER, and COUGARS (minus the horns), this Missouri-based quartet absolutely tears it up on Hot Shoulders. "Those Are Cobras, Man" gets things pumping early on with a bustling, repeated rhythm and truckloads of sick psychedelic riffing. Before the tune comes to an end, there is a brief moment of melodic greatness, and essentially, this mix of styles is what makes BALD EAGLE's sound so distinct. When the band's not performing their signature funky riff-driven tunes ("Lemon Lime Be On Time," "We. Have. You. Did," and "Shady Creepers" are of note), they opt for an unexpected, near-emo type of sound. Perhaps best heard in "Rodents Of Unusual Size," BALD EAGLE removes the propulsive energy of earlier songs in favor of a more relaxed, somewhat atmospheric tone. The same applies for the instrumental tunes "The Lunch Helicopter" and "What's All This Brew-Ha-Ha?" Even though the band's lead vocalist provides a spark whenever he is present, there is something about the simplicity of the abovementioned tracks that makes BALD EAGLE such an intriguing group. Analogies could be made to end this review, but all you need to know is Hot Shoulders is a freaking cool rock record. Dig it. www.emergencyumbrella.com 2. From URB Magazine- Bald Eagle :: Nightlife Emergency Umbrella Reviewed by Lauren Mooney Bald Eagle's bio states that "like a frat boy puking on the shoes of his ineffectual lover, Columbia, MO vomits up the missing number to the world's rock and roll Sudoku puzzle." Citing influences from Minus the Bear to JR Ewing, this rock/punk/funk infusion is a rock and roll explosion. The single "Those are Cobras, Man" from their second LP Hot Shoulders rocks nice and hard. It jams and jams until you think you can't jam anymore, then you jam some more. Rock on. Look out for Hot Shoulders in the late summer or early fall on Emergency Umbrella Records.
We only have about 80 copies of Bacon and Eggs, Dear left. So if you want one get on it. We however have a ton of copies left of Scrambled Eggs (our remix cd), so if you haven't got one of those yet get on that too. |

We just finished playing some really cool shows around here. Now it is time to go record again. At the end of this month (March) and the first part of April we will be heading back to Wisconsin to record our second full length at The Headache House with our good friend Shane Hochstetler (Call Me Lightning). This record will be out late summer/early fall on EMERGENCY UMBRELLA RECORDS. We will start playing more show after the recording is done. See you all soon. Lots of news: We have not broken up, we are however taking a break from playing so many shows. Our 3 week summer tour took us to the East Coast and we reached our goal of playing over 100 shows. Now we've decided it's a good time to just take a break and write some songs for our new record for Summer 2007 on Emergency Umbrella. Speaking of Emergency Umbrella, we recently signed on with them and they will be our label for all future releases. We do, however, have one last self-released treat. We have been working hard on a remix album of "Bacon and Eggs, Dear" with our good friend Dr. Suplex. Look for"Scrambled Eggs" to be released in early December 2006. It will be limited to just 500 copies! Plans for 2007 |

Each show concludes with a climactic performance by the band with a build up that will keep you on the edge of your seat and then at last sink you back into your seat with sweet satisfaction.
