Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... Upstarter.com has called the debut CD "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 or get The Real Deal Old-Fashioned Three Dimensional CD, including a beyoootiful 15 page color booklet at ..cdbaby.com/cd/tpomc...

Influences
Drawing 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
