The Shock of Pleasure formed in 2004. The group was created by singer/songwriter Robert Romano of Stranger than Fiction along with veteran drummer Brent Irish and bassist Josh Curry.

In 2005, the group was joined by Kelley Christian as featured vocalist. Kelley is classically trained and started out singing jazz in the local Dallas circuit. Her voice has truly given meaning to the name Shock of Pleasure as she effortlessly glides through the ambient fabric of beats and intersecting melodies.

The Shock has quickly risen to the forefront of Dallas’ entertainment scene with it’s rare form of Electro-Lounge Music. A favorite at Stout, Absinthe Lounge, Kismet, The Draelion Lounge, Kinki and Sambuca. The group’s live set is dotted with obvious influences: Thievery Corporation, Portishead, Dido and Depeche Mode.
