   The Pleasures of Merely Circulating: General Info
Member Since10/21/2006
Band MembersJeanne Sinclair, Robert Halpern & Chris Cessac.
InfluencesDrawing from varied influences--Jeanne (Robert Johnson, The Slits), Chris (Minutemen, Buddy Holly), and Robert (Beatles, Mahavishnu Orchestra)--The Pleasures channel a line of freakishly high energy flowing from Bo Diddley to The Stooges, Husker Du and beyond.
Sounds Like"Though it's highly unlikely that Bo Diddley ever hung out with Sid Vicious, their ghosts share the room when Marfa, Texas outfit The Pleasures of Merely Circulating plug in their amps. ... kinetic, freewheeling, and a little bit dangerous a pleasure to the ears." Local IQ

"Smarmy female vocals join up with fuckable guitars in a dangerous chemical reaction ..." Smother Magazine

“fast, galloping stuff, born of punk’s fury and biting political overtones… from a breathy whisper into a howl of heartbreak” -Big Bend Sentinel

“garage punk that's raw yet very melodic” -Albuquerque Tribune

   About The Pleasures of Merely Circulating

The Pleasures of Merely Circulating - The Pleasures of Merely Circulating The debut CD is here! Upstarter.com has called it "13 tracks of love, loss, pining and rollicking all tinged by their southern rock roots. The songs are peppy and short and chock full of energy and guts. The music rings out in that raw yet urgent way that only a finely tuned three-piece can muster."

Download it now at iTunes by clicking above on the pic of the cover.

The Real Deal Old-Fashioned Three Dimensional CD, including a beyoootiful 15 page color booklet is available at cdbaby.com/cd/tpomc.

Or, you can pick one up now at superior record shops such as Waterloo Records in Austin and Sig's Lagoon in Houston.

Hello,
the band has been heartbroken and so we posted a new song called "Five Foot Deep". Sing along if the spirit moves you!

We also have a new version of "Tormented Dancefloor" up that you might be digging.

Steady be.

very nice article in the austin chronicle. congratulations. I wish they had mentioned 'empire' which is my favorite song of yours. (nor did they mention a beautiful tatoo of roses over the west texas highway).

the history of the south reminds me of vintage X, which is a good thing...

you're not even from sweden.

keep up the good work.
