Collaborations

[edit]

Take Remedy

[edit]

Take Remedy was a new collective on the New York City scene featuring Alice Love, THEE PAUSE, and Billy 'Vapor Eyes'. They have been described as a "combination of the alternative organic sound meets digital chaos".[7] THE PAUSE is a bassist, and programmer and provides backup vocals. Lead vocals are provided by Alice Love. Billy Vapor Eyes plays drums, keyboards, and rhythm guitars.

Their debut EP Hello successfully charted on two individual Hype Machine Top 100 singles charts without major label promotion, EyeView, and Lines, unusual for a new band with a debut EP.

Hello, the five-track debut EP originally only available on 12" red limited edition vinyl via Projecting Nothing Records, is now available worldwide digitally via Organic Intelligence Records.[8]

Announced March 24, 2012, THEE PAUSE began recording with artist Nikki Noir with producer DJ Alex J of Digable Planents fame for a late-2012 CD and digital release on Projecting Nothing Records titled Of The Echoes.[9]

The Daisy Kids

[edit]

In March 2013, THEE PAUSE joined forces with Scott Putesky, former lead guitarist and co-founder of the band Marilyn Manson, to form "The Daisy Kids". The Daisy Kids was an American hard rock group consisting of former Marilyn Manson guitarist Daisy Berkowitz and producer, multi-instrumentalist, and bass player THEE PAUSE. Guest vocals on the Mr Conrad Samsung EP were provided by Justin Symbol of Nursing Home fame[2]. Numerous rough demos were recorded, including a yet-to-circulate four-song CD entitled The Samsung Sessions. That four-song CD/demo was shelved due to legal issues regarding the use of uncleared samples, and only one track from those recording sessions has surfaced to date.

Tracks known to have been recorded include:

With legal issues resolved, November 20, 2015, saw the release of the Mr Conrad Samsung EP, which had been delayed since 2013 and is the final released recording featuring guitarist and vocalist Scott Putesky prior to his passing in 2017.[11]
