Biography

Originally known as Slaves, Pleasure Forever was a rock band on Sub Pop Records. Their music is generally dark, and has a somewhat gothic/cabaret feel. Lyrical content (while heavily distorted on Alter) can be vague but is usually concerned with images of hedonism, lust, weakness of man, death and similar themes. Piano, keyboard and synthesizer are very dominant in their sound as well as very fuzzy, soft guitar sounds.

With the exception of Sonny Kay, Pleasure Forever features all the members of The VSS. They released two albums, Pleasure Forever, and Alter. The album “Bodies Need Rest” containing cover songs, compilation tracks and songs from an unfinished album was released in 2007.

Joshua Hughes - Guitars
Andrew Rothbard - Vocals / Piano / Keyboards
David Clifford - Drums/ Percussion

    i mean, all due respect to rabbits, red sparowes, and rothbard's solo stuff, shit they make is remarkable all in all (as was angel hair and the vss), but i believe the chemistry worked best when the three sticked together as pleasure & the forevers, y'know.

    still dont get how this band was able to maintain their quality standard; from the devils pleasures through alter (and bodies need rest), the musique is unique beyond compare. ique. wish they'd reunite one day, just the idea they're around and together again would suffice.

    Not sure why people trash the self-titled album, Any Port in a Storm is massive.

    The s/t is a good record, but Alter is absolutely phenomenal.

    I find that Alter is the only album worth owning by this band. everything else is sub-par. but Alter is quite great in contrast.
