Sick Pleasure

It was 1980-81 and SF's The Tools had just broken up leaving guiarest Mike Fox without a band. He teamed up with skateboarders Sal Paradise and Dave Chavez and the infamous Niki Sicki. A nihilistic mother fucker who formed Sick Pleasure with no moral or political goals in mind. Thus the great Sick Pleasure was formed. Sick Pleasure toured occasionally. Nikki Sicki recalled a story; at one point while on tour in Wisconsin, he (Nikki) farted so bad that bassist Dave Chavez "quit the band", got out of the van and began to walk home. The band had to convince him to get back in the van and Nikki promised to yell a warning before he let off another one like that. Sick Pleasure went on for a while until 1982 when it just "wasn't fun anymore". At this point Sick Pleasure had no material on wax and it seemed as if they would go down in history as another forgotten band of the hardcore era. The three members aside from Nikki went on to form Code of Honor and Nikki went on to form Verbal Abuse in Houston. In later 1982 after Code of Honor had established themselves they released a split with the now deceased Sick Pleasure. The A-Side was 'Fight or Die' by Code of Honor and the B-Side was 'Dolls Under Control' by Sick Pleasure. The record is a classic with solid songs on both sides. A year later Subterranean (Mike Fox's label) put out yet another Sick Pleasure release, further establishing their place in hardcore history, this self-titled EP was faster and more hardcore than the LP, but still retained the same snotty attitude as the previous release. Sick Pleasure is now remembered as an infamous nihilistic, snotty, fuck-all punk rock band, and rightfully so. The goal of this myspace is to hopefully expose more sick individuals to the lewd legacy of Sick Pleasure.
