The Shock of Pleasure originally formed in 2004. The group was created by singer/songwriter Robert Romano of Dallas' Stranger than Fiction along with veteran drummer Brent Irish and bassist Shelley Gaither (who was replaced in 2007 by Josh Curry). In 2005 the group was joined by Kelley Christian as featured vocalist. In addition to being a classically trained singer, Kelley is also a model and actress in the DFW Area and Los Angeles. Her angelic voice has brought the Shock of Pleasure to the forefront of the Dallas music scene. The Shock combines trip-hop and down-tempo grooves to create this eclectic mix of textures and sound. This is Electro-Lounge Music - a soundtrack to life in the city. SOP ompleted the debut CD, 'It's About Time,' in 2007 with producer David Castell (Blue October, Burden Brothers, Pallor).
