The Pleasures are headed into 2025 with a full head of steam and the promise of a new record!
In recent times they’ve put out three brand new singles in quick succession, enjoying plenty of streaming-platform playlist-joy along with support on radio from Double J, ABC Country, Edge of Country, Saturday Night County and a raft of community stations. They’ve also been recognised by their peers with a nomination in the Group of the Year category for the 2025 Golden Guitar Awards (winner to be announced in January).
Today The Pleasures release a surprise Christmas song – an exquisite cover of Mary Gauthier ‘Christmas in Paradise’ and new tour dates!

Their debut record ‘The Beginning of the End’ was released to much acclaim last year, and it has kept them on the road for most of the past fifteen months.
Alongside a string of headline shows in the USA, UK and Europe the band have also found time for barnstorming sets at Port Fairy Folk Festival, The Gympie Muster, Out on the Weekend, Groundwater, Maverick Festival (UK) and Shrewsbury Folk Festival (UK). This year they were official showcase artists at both Folk Alliance International (Kansas City) and Americanafest (Nashville).
The band, fronted by the dual forces of Catherine Britt and Lachlan Bryan, always deliver a mash of high energy tunes and delicate pin-drop moments, sibling-like harmonies and sharp wit. Their sound personifies the eclectic nature of Americana – drawing on country rock, blues and folk music – with a good pinch of punk attitude. Reviewers seem to agree that the four-piece has one of the most dynamic live shows right now.
