Don’t know anything about this band – any info would be much appreciated.
Were in among the Rich Rags, Silver Hearts glam scene. I lived with Steve the Hearts’ drummer and he was always on about them. Might have even played for them for a while.
Hey, this is Dave Ashe, guitar player from the Victims…who are you?
Hey Dave, thanks for the message. I’m just the fellar that put all the stuff up here from old Metal mags. Hope it’s ok to include PV. Dunsy.
Just found this :

“In 1989 Dru, together with Primal Trash frontman Jez Miller, decided that London was the place to be for up and coming rock stars. Breaking away from the rest of the Primals, they headed south to form The Pleasure Victims”
Nice one, many thanks!

Check this link for an insight into a Pleasure Victims gig at Oxfords (The Hellfire Club – later became Metros) on Tottenham Court Road, written by vocalist Jez, who performed a gig with Gunfire Dance years later after Gunfire singer Ant commited suicide.
Thanks again for the info John – they had the Kill City Dragons drummer? didn’t know that.
The Pleasure Victims did have Danny from the “Lords” play with them , circa 90…and Steve (his predecessor) now plays drums for the Tango Pirates( danny sings)…small world. I think Danny plays on thishttps://soundcloud.com/ashe3000/greatest-thing-1-1?fb_action_ids=279875715418967&fb_action_types=soundcloud%3Alisten&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=%5B10150659524005561%5D&action_type_map=%5B%22soundcloud%3Alisten%22%5D&action_ref_map=%5B%5D&fb_collection_id=10151549409496799&ref=profile…I played guitar and it was a BLAST.Danny is DEF on the second song.
