Tampa Bay Times previews PLEASURES show

PLEASURES homecoming show tonight at Fubar Downtown! Tampa Bay Times previews the show:

At WMNF’s Tropical Heatwave in April, Sarasota’s Pleasures blasted New World Brewery with a typhoon of digitally twisted prog-rock that blew away the patio. Wanna know what you missed? Catch ’em at 8 p.m. Sunday at Fubar, 658 Central Ave., St. Petersburg. It’s something of a homecoming show for the quartet, which features Sons of Hippies’ Katherine Kelly on lead vocals and guitar, following a short tour behind their latest album F—ed Up Dreams Come True.

Creative Loafing Tampa previews tonight’s PLEASURES homecoming show at Fubar Downtown:

Just like that, Pleasure is back. After a five-week tour that took the greater Bay area psych-rockers through the Sunshine State, up through the midwest and right through the butthole of Texas, frontwoman Katherine Kelly & co. return to the ‘Burg (who cares what the cool kids call it) for a homecoming show that also serves to celebrate the release of their 2016 LP, Fucked Up Dreams Come True, which plays like a variety hour where the devil gets a hold of an MPC while every demented soul he’s been left with in hell fills the figurative studio with strange howling noises all running through a pedal board only an octopod could navigate. The effort is a pure dance party, and it takes all kinds of cajones to go on the road the way Pleasures does, so buy them a shot or three at this rager. Experience that m-fer below.

Exclaim! Magazine premieres SIRES music video “She’s Into Me”

Exclaim! premieres the music video for “She’s Into Me,” the first single from SIRES forthcoming album Soul For Sale, out October 21st from Station 1 Records:

“‘She’s Into Me’ is the first offering from the upcoming record, and on the surface it takes inspiration from a PBS documentary about the Dave Clark Five. The subtext, however, adds much more depth and darkness to the deceptively upbeat sounding tune.”

Erie Times-News features PLEASURES

Fantastic PLEASURES feature in GoErie.com | Erie Times-News by Matt Swanseger:

The band revels in its oddity — it treats audio like a funhouse mirror treats a reflected image. Synth lines bend, crash and wobble like sheet metal put through a conditioning test, and Kelly’s trip-hoppy croons and yodeler-esque yips are altered with more special effects than a sci-fi soundboard. But despite the chaos, it is not without moments of warped tranquillity and even beauty.

San Antonio Express-News recommends PLEASURES’ show

Pleasures

My San Antonio from the Express-News recommends tonight’s PLEASURES show at Hi-Tones:

The Florida band and multimedia project makes what it calls ‘dark and doomy sex music for robots.’ How can that not be good? The band is touring behind the vinyl release of its new album ‘(Bleeped) Up Dreams Come True,’ the genesis of which singer/guitarist Katherine Kelly described as ‘about a recent and specific period in my life where a love interest appeared seemingly out of nowhere and changed my understanding of the abstract world of concepts and binaries.’
