Pink Pills was the second album from the Mavis's, the band out of Ballarat, Victoria, and Mushroom put it out in April 1998, two years after Venus Returning. Becky Thomas sings and plays keyboards, her brother Matt Thomas plays guitar and sings, Andrea Vendy drums, Nick Gill adds a second guitar and Josh Alexander holds down the bass, and together they turn out bright, sugar-coated pop with a sly bite.
It was a busy record for singles: "Naughty Boy", "Cry", "Lever" and "Puberty Song" all got the call, and the synth-driven "Cry" climbed to No. 13 on the ARIA singles chart and made Triple J's Hottest 100 for 1998. The album itself reached No. 12, picked up ARIA nominations for Best Pop Release and Best Cover Art, and "Puberty Song" later earned Kalju Tonuma an Engineer of the Year nod. The band's next album, Rapture, was still years away.
