The to foundind members chose the moniker one day while talking on msn messenger due to they're current position in the Arizona desert and they're want for a representitive animal.

We don't play live yet, but we possibly might in the near future.

It can be a double edged sword. It helps the unknown get discovered, but it hurts the already major artists in terms of record sells.

Possibly.

D.E. was formed in late 2005 by Gordon Beaver and Shawn Paul Islas. It was they're mutual friendship and liking for the Hip-Hop/Rap styling of music that made them decide to start recording songs of they're own. And it was Shawn's (a.k.a. Tall Tee) ear for the Houston, Texas underground scene that set off the group as a freestyle rap project at first. They continued on as a duo until they started yearning for a new, third member. They were originally looking for someone who could sing more R&B/Urban style hooks and chorus lines. That Was when Eddie Gonzales (a.k.a. Tall Shasta) was recruited into the Eaglz. That formed the base music group that still stands to this day. Presently, there are D.E. side projects galore. Incorporating their mutal love for skateboarding, they have started a loosely based skate crew that consist of several talented Gilbert locals (AJ Cardoza, Brandon Foutch, Killian Kelly). Skating has also become a major theme in the music. Video production has also become a big branch off. Musical side projects include justpasteight and the short-lived Beaneath Dying Skies. All in all, the Desert Eaglz continue to grow in both recognition and musical talent as time passes, all while branching off into other fields of intrest.

Our influences are many in number, but to name a few musical ones would include Lil' Flip, Underoath, Lloyd Banks, Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes, D12, Bring Me the Horizon, Thrice, Bless the Fall, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Between the Buried and Me, Pharrel Williams, Royce da 5'9, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, Ne-Yo, Anthony Hamilton, Cute is What We Aim For, The Academy Is..., Panic! At the Disco, The Police, Metro Station, The Maine and many, many other artists and bands. Skatewise our influences include Paul Rodriguez, Chris Haslam, Abdias Rivera, Daewon Song, John Motta, Johnny Layton, Nick Trepasso, Chris Cole, Kevin'"Spanky" Long, Andrew Reynolds, Terry Kennedy, Brandon Westgate, Eric Koston, Mike "Mo", Jim Greco, and many, many other skaters.

For music hands down The Booth. Skating would be Pecos Skatepark, The Slab, and other local Gilbert spots.
