This is the official MySpace profile of the most extravagant glam rock band in the world:
THE PLEASURES
The Pleasures aren’t simply a five-piece glamrock band from Hamburg, Germany, born of a love for all things outrageous and gender-transcending. This is the most exuberant, gaudy, arresting onslaught of glam n roll you could ever imagine.
Founded in 2004 by Dancette (vocals & synths) and Lord (vocals & guitar), The Pleasures created an explosion of glitz and glamour from the very beginning. Now a tightly-knit crew fuelled by a shared passion and energy for flagrant glamrock and doing things their way, the guys describe the band as “pure life without limitsâ€.
Priding themselves on their gregarious, trashy, gender-straddling image, they create infectious hardglamrock, oozing with addictive hooks, searing riffs and some face-melting vocals. The voices of Dancette & Lord compliment each other radiantly, striking against the dramatic backdrop of thick, screeching guitars, a booming bass and throbbing drums.
The Pleasures are a passionate, hard-working band. Lord is not only guitarist and second vocalist, but has also produced all of the bands’ recorded material. Their first release came in June 2005; a five track EP entitled ‘Cuming Out’. This was succeeded a year later by the 16 track debut album ‘Greatest Hits’, which sold out of its first few thousand copies within just six months. A single release in April 2007, ‘Some Like It Rock’, precedes the upcoming second album – a double album - ‘Oh Yeah’, which is set for release in late summer 2007.
After playing shows with the likes of HANOI ROCKS and the legendary T-REX and securing a strong fan base in Germany, the band set their sights on spreading the pleasure throughout Europe. They embarked upon their first UK tour in July 2006, stunning a multitude of Brits with their mesmerising live shows and earning a gaggle of brand new fans. An equally raucous and triumphant tour of Italy in April 2007 has left the band thirsty for more, and plans are afoot to storm Japan, Scandinavia and the U.S.
The Pleasures will also return to the UK in July 2008 for a third tour, including a slot in Nottingham’s infamous Trash-Stock weekend together with ROBIN BLACK.
