Twice is enough no female lead vocalist and a whole lotta Thievery which isn't all bad but we just saw Thievery so come on at least Deadmau5 saved the night and that was like what 5 months ago ?

Shock of Pleasure plays smokey, sexy, evening-out music. Think slinky dresses, dirty martinis and that little hum of coolsville that fills the room. I recommend seeing them whenever you can.
