Formed around the unlikely and undeniable chemistry between acclaimed singer-songwriters Lachlan Bryan and Catherine Britt, The Pleasures have carved out a sound that is raw, raucous, and real—fuelled by unflinching songwriting and a potent blend of bluesy cool, country soul, and rock 'n' roll. Joined by the powerhouse rhythm section of Brad Bergen and Damian Cafarella, the band first struck gold with their 2023 debut, The Beginning of the End, an album that launched a two-year touring odyssey across Australia and beyond.
Since then, The Pleasures have graced stages at major festivals including Port Fairy Folk Festival, Groundwater Music Festival, Out on the Weekend, Riverboats, Gympie Muster, Nannup, Dashville Skyline, and Maverick Festival and Shrewsbury Folk Festival (UK)—not to mention official showcases at both Folk Alliance International and AMERICANAFEST 2024 in the US and nominations for Best Band and Best Album Awards for CMAA – 6 times now. Add to that ARIA Chart Positions, landing on the Best Album Lists of 2025 and a swag of effusive reviews.
With sophomore album Enemy of My Enemy, The Pleasures doubled down on their signature grit, offering up a collection that’s both unflinching and full of heart. With worldwide acclaim under their belts and a committed touring schedule in Australia and overseas, the band are performing world–class shows. Their new live performances are equal parts celebration, catharsis, swaggering guitars, and unfiltered Americana grit.
