James Hall is American rock singer and guitarist best known for his gothic-style lyrics, distinctive voice, eccentric behavior and eclectic compositions.

Early career:
Before launching his solo career in 1990, James Hall was the singer for Atlanta band, Mary My Hope, which released one full-length album entitled Museum in 1989 and one EP, 1990's Suicide Kings, both on RCA/Silvertone. An expanded version of Suicide Kings appeared at the same time, called Monster Is Bigger Than The Man. This contained, in addition to the unreleased material and Museum album cuts, two live tracks recorded at the Princess Charlotte in Leicester (UK). In 1993, Hall's My Love, Sex, and Spirit was put out by Daemon Records, Indigo Girl Amy Ray's co-op effort. Three singles were released from My Love, Sex & Spirit, each containing non-album tracks. Subsequently, he signed to Geffen Records, and in 1996 his album Pleasure Club was released.

Pleasure Club:
It wasn't until 2002 that further evidence of Hall appeared with a new band named Pleasure Club. This band featured Hall on vocals and guitar, Micheal Jerome on drums, Grant Curry on bass, and Marc Hutner also on guitar. They released two albums, Here Comes The Trick and The Fugitive Kind. Here Comes The Trick has since been re-released as a double with a live album entitled Live: Out Of The Pulpit accompanying it. Pleasure Club have since disbanded and Hall has returned to his solo work.

Current projects:
Hall has recently formed a working relationship with singer Jimmy Gnecco of the band Ours, and has collaborated on at least one song: Hall's "Consenting Adults." It is rumored that Hall will be featured on the upcoming Ours album.
