And of course there’s — my favorite — the prurient, synth-laden dance pop of Fly Golden Eagle, whose latest, BoreUs, features enough contagious riffs and exhilarating, feel-good vocals to make even the most austere of music fans wiggle their respective rumps - Nashville Scene
I’ll be honest, I have seen Fly Golden Eagle before and I wasn’t all that into it. They played with Jensen Sportag some time ago and despite grand claims from Mercy Lounge Champion Drew Mischke, I just couldn’t get into it. Then I was told that the bands new EP, The Island Galaxy, was one of the better local releases of the year by DPR over at The Cream. So, with those recommendations in mind, I made sure to arrive on time for their NBN set.
Second chances often provide notable improvements and this is a prime example of that. Most importantly, the band was very engaging to the crowd – lots of banter, lots of amusing quips and lots of evidence that they enjoy what they’re doing. All too often bands look bored on stage or overly into what they’re performing, as if its a put-on for the crowd. I didn’t get that vibe from ole Fly Golden Eagle – they were into their catchy, dancey, spacey dance songs and really just want you to be as well.
The record is a bit more controlled than the performance but that’s often how it should be. You can snag the entire thing, for free, over on their site. - We Own This Town
Eagle’s new EP “The Island Galaxy” is just too good for me to not tell people about, and it is free! So if you want to do yourself a favor go to Fly Golden Eagle’s blog and download the album - SnowCat Press

Bio
One morning when the Western part of the Northern Hemisphere was just beginning its customary trip around the Sun, four Interns meander through the opulent center of Capitol Square. As they pass through the shadow cast by the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Weirdness, people hustle to make lemonade offerings after an evening spent at the local Bingo Parlor.
They glanced to their left at what critics describe as a perfect scene: a voice unwarrantingly sweet was duplicated twelve times over by a stack of television sets from the window of the electronic store. It was a 24/7 Breaking News anchor excitedly talking about cartography and the latest advances in the field of News. He signed off with a meaningful smile that begged for no questions.
In that moment, the quiet, delicate substances of the imponderable began grinding between their teeth. Some things in life are too big and too magnificent to be accurately discussed with any precision, like summer, the cosmos, and Sprite. They are merely trying to occur, testing the old rotten floor of reality to see if it will hold them, but they quickly retract, fearing to lose their authenticity in the fraility of realization.
Thanks to 24/7 Breaking News, from then on, these four Interns have something to sing about.
Here's to mo' noise!
The last thing we need is another song. There are enough songs out there to last the rest of time.
In the future there will be machines called computers. They will make music and sing songs that humans can move to. Fly Golden Eagle is the present. Man and Machine's warm embrace. Sounds that bite, kick, pull, groove, soothe, and move ears and eyes alike. Tomorrow is not here yet, so today we will dance to the melodic sounds of the digital underground.
Nashville's own Fly Golden Eagle is an electronic/pop/garage band consisting of vocalist and guitarist Ben Trimble, keyboardist Mitch Jones, bass guitarist Rick Alessio, and drummer Richard Harper. Fly Golden Eagle is Majestico member Ben Trimble's attempt to create an equally cohesive ensemble of talented Tennessee artists. Trimble's ability to create familiar catchy rifs and addictive drastic beats surpasses current understanding of the power of the pop song. With astute candid lyrics and unabashed exuberance, Fly Golden Eagle is Nashville's foremost entity pushing this aesthetic. Fly Golden Eagle recently released a full length album Bore Us and are planning a tour of the west coast.
