Interview with the band. Enjoy:
What’s the story behind how you started out as a band? Katherine Kelly, singer/guitarist, and Morgan Soltes, bass/synth player, found each other whilst playing in various bands in the Central Florida area and created PLEASURES in the Winter of 2014. The band toured with an original lineup for 2 years before arriving as a three piece with Roger Lanfranchi on drums/synth. This new lineup wrote and recorded the 2nd LP Body Pop in Fall of 2017.
I see you're on tour. Do you have a cool story from your tour that you can share? Well, we just left from Bisbee, AZ where we played the annual "Alice in Wonderland" themed "Alice in Bisbeeland." Bisbee is kind of our fav place to play and spend time cause we have rad friends there and the place kind of feels like home in some strange way. On this last go round we had a day off after the show and ended up doing a little hike, stumbling upon and exploring a cave house built into the rocks and having dinner with our friend Dana who owns the venue we played at. (The Quarry). So yeah.
Oh! Denver was a pleasant surprise - playing to a packed room of young wide-eyed future mega fans brimming with enthusiasm for your shit. You ever see a guy's mind stretch? Pretty cool.
Own Q&A: Make up our own question? Sure. "Hey PLEASURES!" Says us to ourselves while pretending to be someone interviewing ourselves. "Who's that fourth guy you had at the show twiddling knobs on midi controllers back by the merch table?" That's Riley - aka Rye dog, rye toast, catcher in the rye, etc. He does live lights and projections during the set. His tireless work provides an invaluable live audio to visual juxtaposition ensuring a consistent and tangible vibe that PLEASURES shows tend to be known for.
