Pleasure Dome is an exciting new band made up from some familiar faces in the melodic rock world. Ted Poley (vocals), David Tsien (guitars), Charlie Calv (keyboards), Ed Avila (bass) and John Hummel (drums) have collectively sold over 1 million records, toured over 500 cities
in 15 countries and have played more then 5,000 shows…and they just got started!
Ted first commanded the stage from the drum throne for progressive rockers Prophet on their debut release in 1985 but is probably best known for fronting the chart topping band Danger Danger (Sony Records) on hits like “Naughty Naughty” and “Bang Bang”. Charlie and Ed first blasted onto the scene with the critically acclaimed debut Shotgun Symphony CD released in 1993 and have continued to provide their talents to a host of acts through the years like Intruder, Message, Melodica, Skin Tag, Arcara and The Way. This is the second time
Dave joins Charlie on a project, first working in Skin Tag together following Dave’s successful stint with Shoot the Doctor (MCA Records). And John is the true road warrior, first becoming the live drummer for Shotgun Symphony after the release of their last CD “
Their debut release “For Your Personal Amusement” is a tight power-pop roller-coaster ride of soaring melodies, crafty guitars and colourful sounds that is destined to become another classic to add to their arsenal of works. From the rocking opener “Trapped”, the haunting
melodies of “The Aura That Surrounds You” to the ballad “Praying For A Miracle” they are able to switch gears in an instant without missing a beat. Pleasure Dome first tested the waters in 2004 with the recording of “Always Tomorrow” and “One and Only”, the latter which can be found in it’s earliest inception on the Melodic Rock.com CD 2 - The Beast Inside. They would continue to work on and off between other
projects and tours during 2005 and 2006, but it would not be until 2007 that they would kick it into high gear and put on the finishing touches. The CD was produced by keyboardist Charlie Calv in the bands home turf of
Pleasure Dome are a powerful melodic rock band that will certainly gain your respect, this is one release that won’t disappoint.
