drunk pixels - the guilty pleasures

THE GUILTY PLEASURES were the legendary garage punks from the Bloomington/Normal scene...road warrior contemporaries of THE REATARDS, BRIDES, LOST SOUNDS and DIRTBOMBS..... these crazed rock n rollers went on to form a slew of bands we all know and love after the demise of their band, THE PONYS, HOT MACHINES, FRANCE HAS THE BOMB, BASEBALL FURIES, LOVER!, FOOTBALL just to name a few......

they never released more than a 7 inch in their short wild existence, but THE GUILTY PLEASURES did record one awesome lp with JIM DIAMOND (garage rock studio engineer extraordinaire) in DETROIT.  it just never found a home until now.  DUSTY MEDICAL RECORDS has just released their SUMMER STRANGE lp....a classic in yr face slab of loud furious garage punk that TINY GROOVES highly recommends......


in honor of their only album finally seeing release, the Guilty Pleasures reunited for two shows.....one with THE MISTREATERS (their farewell show) in Milwaukee in December ...and one this weekend in Chicago with TIMMY'S ORGANISM (members of HUMAN EYE, CLONE DEFECTS fame)...... it was as if they never broke up.....so much chaotic trashy fun........
