Free show with Austin's Pollen Rx and Pleasure Venom
Pollen is back early this year with a new release, mostly about products and how we in the world deal with them. It's raw as fuck music, both in terms of its no frills, no bullshit approach and for its true garage band sound, and single "Supply Chain" is one that'll get pounding around in your head for a while. It's a little bit old NYC dancepunk with a bit of D.C.'s The Evens, plus some Austin awareness and DIY that work pretty well together, with that "Coca cola, co-coca cola," "Motorola, Mo-motorola" hook just refusing to leave the brain once it gets in there. See what we mean below, and keep these guys on your radar if you like your music to say something about society while also givin' you a beat to move your feet to.
Pleasure Venom debuted in October of 2014 at a Halloween house party in Austin, TX. After front-woman Audrey Campbell moved to Austin and began singing back-up and playing trumpet in Danny Price & The Heist, she soon met Trevor Mason (bass). She grew tired of joining other projects and decided to pursue a solo project with the help of Mason under the moniker ‘A Band Named Audrey’.
Along the way, the duo met Thomas Valles (drums), Anna Charlock (guitar, back-up vocals) and Austin Reynolds (guitar) and naturally over time the project transformed from a solo project into a full band with each new member becoming strong musical additions. While their music can most certainly be described as Post-Punk, members pull their influence from all different genres of music — helping them to bring an eclectic sound that is both catchy and heavy.
