## Collaborations
### Take Remedy

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". 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.

### The Daisy Kids

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:
* "White Knuckles", featuring Justin Symbol of Nursing Home on lead vocals,
* "Thrift",
* "Let Your Ego Die",
* Square In The Minor the only commercially available CD and digital release.
