Catherine Britt and Lachlan Bryan have vastly different musical backstories. Country-loving parents steered Catherine towards Hank Williams and Jimmie Rogers, and by the time she was 16 the twang of her debut record had reached the ears of Sir Elton John. The rock legend not only decided to record a duet with the young singer, but also introduced her to RCA Records in Nashville, to whom she was immediately signed. Over the next decade she toured America and the world with the likes of Chris Isaak, Dolly Parton, Brooks and Dunn, Alan Jackson and Kenny Chesney and won the CMA International Artist of the Year Award, before returning to Australia.
Meanwhile Lachlan was forging a respected career on the sticky carpets of the Melbourne alt-country scene with his band The Wildes. They began to make international dive-bar tours – and it was on one such escapade in Austin, Texas that Lachlan met Catherine and a debaucherous night spawned a now decade-long friendship of sibling-like proportions.
A musical partnership was inevitable – but neither party anticipated the ease with which they would write and work together – supported by the stellar rhythm section of Brad Bergen on drums and Damian Cafarella on bass.
Debut THE BEGINNING OF THE END gathered up the best of both Lachlan and Catherine’s worlds, blending rock’n’roll and classic country in a manner that led folks to describe The Pleasures as “a match made in Americana heaven”.
