The Pleasure Elite

We're mixing, yes really mixing the new disc....
TPE is currently mixing and mastering "Arise Awake Destroy". The CD brings the band back to their days playing speedmetal and punk rock in the early 80's a time both the Rev and Luvleggs cut their teeth, a time when Metal and Punk melded together in numerous variations. This CD is a trip down that path, a time when punk was mixed with Metal, when solos were played over punk riffs. Arise Awake Destroy is an homage to our youth and the bands that influenced us, bands like Metallica, Slayer, Voi Vod, Discharge, GBH, and the Clash...

So you wanted Bad Juju, here's your chance...beside we need the dough ...do it. buy it now.
The Pleasure Elite bumped and ground their way across the US and Europe for over a decade and except for maybe a need for rain slickers, they really didn't have much in common with any band from Seattle.
TPE employed a ton of influences and stylistic variations from metal, punk, industrial, hip-hop, and country. Before any character with the initials M.M. and long before Limp Bizkit entered the entertainment consciousness, TPE incorporated more than a handful of seedy elements into their industrial-metallized musical base. The Pleasure Elite, a collective of S&M junkies, offered listeners a much more adult version of shock rock.
The band featured an abundance of rhythmic riffing, fairly straightforward song pacing and the slightly disturbed vocals of The Rev V. Blast. The lyrics often took on very twisted subjects (particularly the bouncy, hoppy "Twist on This", which is a little ditty about a social predator freshly released from a mental institution) as well as a touch of a social conscience ("Media Feed, In The Belly"). The band also knew how to place good hooks in the songs to keep them catchy.
TPE released 3 Full length CD's (Bad Juju - 2 versions), Brutal Tutu (Recorded Live at RKCNDY), Hog Tied and an EP (Pacifier). They were on numerous compilations and put out 2 7" singles (Scapegoat b/w All American Kisses and Guilty b/w Blackmeat).
more soon, you fucks
