2) Pleasure is a Norwegian funky pop band, led by Fred Ball. One hit single was released, 'Don't Look The Other Way', which featured Justine Frischmann (former lead singer for Elastica) on vocals. The song in particular stood out amongst other releases of 2003 for having a dubious 1980s sound to it, which extended to its video. A new album was released in 2007, called Pleasure 2, featuring vocals by Brett Anderson from Suede.
