The Shock of Pleasure originally formed in 2004. The group was created by singer/songwriter Robert Romano of Dallas' Stranger than Fiction along with veteran drummer Brent Irish and bassist Shelley Gaither (who was replaced this year by Josh Curry).
In 2005 the group was joined by Kelley Christian as featured vocalist. In addition to being a classically trained singer, Kelley is also a model and actress in the DFW Area and Los Angeles. Her angelic voice has brought the Shock of Pleasure to the forefront of the Dallas music scene.
The Shock combines trip-hop and down-tempo grooves to create this eclectic mix of textures and sound. This is Electro-Lounge Music - a soundtrack to life in the city.
SOP have just completed their debut CD, 'It's About Time,' with producer David Castell (Blue October, Burden Brothers, Pallor). The first single, 'This is a Test' has been featured on the ABC Family Channel's 'Wildfire' and has garnered regular spins on Commercial Radio Specialty Shows across the country, most notably 102.1 KDGE (Dallas). The CD reached 12 on the CMJ (national college radio chart) in February 2008.
On September 16th 2008, 'It's About Time' will be released nationally via the Universal Music Group's Fontana Label.
I see your player has two open slots--might I suggest '15 Minutes' and 'False Positive'?
Although, there is a video for '15 Minutes' on your page already...how 'bout 'Tript'? It's been a while since THAT one's been on your page.
And I like the new sound on 'Spooky'--is this a studio version? It's different from the last version on your player--perhaps a 'taste of things to come'?
Just got an earful of the new track--sounds like one more to dominate my iTunes 'Most Played'.
You guys are so friggin' awesome--I think you're the only band that I haven't eventually stopped listening to--you've even beat Sara Bareilles on that count.
By the way, 'False Positive' is up to 564 plays (365 from the EP track and 199 from the CD track) in iTunes, and will forever be my 'most listened to' track.
Thanks for the heads up--I'll rush home as soon as I get off work for a listen. By the way, any chance 'It's About Time' will have any new tracks when it's re-released, like 'Spooky' or '15 Minutes'?
Thanks for adding me and thank you for the signed setlist. Tuesday's my 40th Birthday, and since I've never had a band autograph anything before, and never had a set list...makes a perfect birthday gift for me and one more thing I can cross off my bucket list....tomorrow it's getting that first tattoo!
Thanks for the add! Great tracks. Our new album, Unbearable Bliss, is available via: iTunes, (US, Aus/NZ, UK/EU, Japan and Canada), as well as Rhapsody, Napster, eMusic, GroupieTunes, Amazon MP3 and Lala.
