Blasting out of San Francisco, The Pleasure Kills play powerpop
Girl-fronted, with irresistible hooks and bubblegum organ sounds, The Pleasure Kills are unabashedly fun. Their recordings may be pop-perfect, but there's a punk toughness and grit underlying the sweetness. On stage they're wild, playing a fast and furious rock beat with apparently unlimited energy. Lead singer Lydiot's superstar voice, dynamic stage presence, and cover-girl looks make her the quintessential teenage fantasy pop queen. Reviews frequently compare The Pleasure Kills to Blondie, The Go-Gos, Rezillos, Nikki Corvette, Josie Cotton, and Joan Jett
The five week tour in support of the new "Bring Me A Match" album (released June 2010 on LP and CD by Polypore Records) brings the band to all parts of the U.S. in July and August 2010
Their three singles, "Dancing On My Bed" (June 2009, Polypore Records), "Mission Boy" (August 2008, Polypore Records), and “Smash Up The Radio” (August 2007, Polypore Records, sold out) have received accolades from a variety of pundits, and lots of college radio airplay
The band supported Kepi Ghoulie (ex-Groovie Ghoulies) on a full national tour in Summer 2009, and toured the Southwest in Summer 2008. They played Insubordination Fest in Baltimore in 2009 (Dead Milkmen, Dilinger 4, Pansy Division, etc.), the Wild Weekend Powerpop Fest in Austin in 2008 (The Boys, Pointed Sticks, Nikki Corvette, Gentleman Jesse, etc.), and the Slabtown Bender fest in Portland in 2009 and 2008 (Mudhoney, Jack Oblivian, Pierced Arrows). They've shared the stage with bands including The Avengers, Davila 666, Jay Reatard, Riverboat Gamblers, Nobunny, The Rantouls, The Girls, The Cute Lepers, Harlem, Head, Earthmen And Strangers, Lords Of Altamont, Slow Club, Nous Non Plus, and The Tranzmitors
Quickly establishing themselves as one of the leading lights of today's modern powerpop scene, The Pleasure Kills are an absolute must-see for punks and indie rockers alike. The Pleasure Kills are the pop sensation for today's generation
