PURPLE RHINESTONE EAGLE, STLS, FOREVER, DJ PERMANENT WAVE (Backspace, 115 NW 5th) The three ladies of Purple Rhinestone Eagle are embarking on a mammoth tour that takes them the full distance across this country and beyond, for their first series of European dates. It's only fitting that the sludge-stoner riffage of the Rhinestoners is going global; they've released their first full-length record, The Great Return, on Stankhouse Records, and it's a whopper. With righteously heavy riffs, thunderous drums, and banshee wails, Purple Rhinestone Eagle have bridged the not-so-huge divide between Black Sabbath and Sleater-Kinney, all while creating a sound that's wholly their own. The record rocks, to be sure, but it's also primordial in the way that the best psychedelic music can be, transporting the listener to imagined lands deep inside one's headspace. NED LANNAMANN
