Deadsy

Deadsy formed in the summer of 1995, when Elijah Blue Allman (son of Cher and Gregg Allman) started recording a handful of demos (including "Flowing Glower", "Dear" and a cover of Pavement's "Texas Never Whispers") with Alec Puro on drums and producer Josh Abraham. He later sent a Juno 106 keyboard to his longtime friend from prep school Renn Hawkey (Dr. Nner) as an invitation to join the band.{{cite web|title=Deadsy Biography|url=http://www.playityet.com/artists/deadsy/about|work=playityet.com|access-date=September 4, 2011|archive-date=February 3, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170203114611/http://www.playityet.com/artists/deadsy/about|url-status=usurped}} The three members evolved their sound in the studio and sought out a record deal out of, among other things, "adolescent necessity".{{cite web|title=Elijah Blue Allman Deadsy Interview Uncensored!|url=http://www.robbrink.com/2005/07/12/elijah-blue-allman-deadsy-interview-uncensored/|work=Stance|access-date=September 4, 2011|archive-date=March 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304115058/http://www.robbrink.com/2005/07/12/elijah-blue-allman-deadsy-interview-uncensored/|url-status=dead}}{{cite web |last1=DeRiso |first1=Nick |title=How Gregg Allman's Sons Forged Their Own Musical Paths |url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/gregg-allman-sons-music/ |website=UCR |date=May 30, 2017 |access-date=September 23, 2021 |archive-date=September 24, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210924091934/https://ultimateclassicrock.com/gregg-allman-sons-music/ |url-status=live }}

While Deadsy shopped for its first record deal, Seymour Stein, President of Sire/Elektra Records, signed the band. Because they had no bass player at the time, Jay Gordon (of Orgy) was asked to play bass for their short self-titled album.{{cite web|last=Quelland|first=Sarah|title=Dawn of the Deadsy|url=http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/05.02.02/aural-0218.html|publisher=MetroActive.com|access-date=September 6, 2011|archive-date=March 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304131240/http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/05.02.02/aural-0218.html|url-status=live}} After the album was recorded and released for promotion, the band temporarily relocated to New York City. Deadsy performed an impromptu showcase at Coney Island in 1997. Deadsy's self-titled album was slated for a release in the Spring of 1997, but due to Sire Records separating from Elektra Records, Seymour Stein halted plans for the release, and the band continued recording with Abraham. They also contributed the song "Replicas" to the Gary Numan tribute album Random on Beggars Banquet Records. London Records absorbed Sire Records and folded the label, leaving Deadsy at Warner Bros.{{cite web|last=D'Angelo|first=Joe|title=Korn's Jonathan Davis Sings On Deadsy Track|url=http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1445500/20010730/deadsy.jhtml|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130205164555/http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1445500/20010730/deadsy.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 5, 2013|access-date=September 4, 2011|publisher=MTV News|date=July 31, 2001}} They gave the band the option to leave with full ownership of their master recordings.{{cite magazine |last1=Morris |first1=Chris |title=Sire To Become Stand-Alone Label Again |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mA0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA3 |magazine=Billboard |date=May 3, 2003 |access-date=September 26, 2021}}{{cite web |last1=Pollack |first1=Marc |title=London-sire's Burning |url=https://hitsdailydouble.com/news%26id%3D275660%26title+LONDON-SIRE%27S-BURNING |website=Hits daily trouble |access-date=September 26, 2021 |archive-date=September 27, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210927235850/https://hitsdailydouble.com/news%26id%3D275660%26title+LONDON-SIRE%27S-BURNING |url-status=live }}

In February 2007, a short statement from Allman confirmed that the band was taking a hiatus. Carlton Bost then joined The Dreaming full-time. On April 16, 2007, a MySpace bulletin was posted with a statement by Alec Puro, who wrote, "As you all know we are going to be taking a short break from Deadsy so Elijah can make a solo record and I can continue scoring projects I wasn't able to do from the road". In early 2008, Elijah Blue and the Trapezoids was revealed as the name of Allman's solo project, though as of 2016, the project has yet to release anything more than three demos on its MySpace page.{{cite web |title=Elijah Blue Allman Vermögen – Das Hat Elijah Blue Allman Bisher Verdient |url=https://www.androidkosmos.de/elijah-blue-allman-vermoegen-das-hat-elijah-blue-allman-bisher-verdient/ |website=Android Kosmos |date=October 5, 2020 |access-date=October 21, 2021 |archive-date=October 22, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211022025157/https://www.androidkosmos.de/elijah-blue-allman-vermoegen-das-hat-elijah-blue-allman-bisher-verdient/ |url-status=live }} He also was reported as following a career in visual art.{{cite web |last1=DeRiso |first1=Nick |title=How Gregg Allman's Sons Forged Their Own Musical Path |url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/gregg-allman-sons-music/ |website=UCR |date=May 30, 2017 |access-date=October 21, 2021 |archive-date=September 24, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210924091936/https://ultimateclassicrock.com/gregg-allman-sons-music/ |url-status=live }}

Allman stated, "We wanted to make something that was transcendental, really rule-defying, and very against the grain and when people listened to it at first, it would just feel very like a sense of foreignness, almost like watching a David Lynch film.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}}

The lyrics and imagery of the songs sometimes focused on many subjects in either sexual, religious, magical or popular culture contexts. Occasionally, there are references to esoterica, secret societies, The Urantia Book, The Holy Mountain (1973 film), the novel Dune by Frank Herbert, and even Walt Disney's 101 Dalmatians.

Allman has often called the band an "art project" complete with a manifesto and visual iconography. The band was once described as "monied prep school secret society crossed with teenage fascist group."{{cite book|author=Tommy Udo|title=Brave Nu World|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hFUUAQAAIAAJ|year=2002|publisher=Sanctuary|isbn=978-1-86074-415-0}} Each band member represents one element or "entity" that drives human society. Each entity is also represented by their own color and unique appearance. Many of the multi-color ideas were influenced directly from the 1955 film This Island Earth. Blue represented International Klein Blue and academia, Puro represented green and leisure, Hawkey represented yellow and science and medicine, Bost represented grey and war, and Riker represented red and horror. The band members also carry a white plastic chain accessory.{{cite web |last1=Milligan |first1=Kaitlin |title=Deadsy to Perform at San Quentin State Prison With Queens of the Stone Age |url=https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwmusic/article/Deadsy-to-Perform-at-San-Quentin-State-Prison-With-Queens-of-the-Stone-Age-20181114 |website=Broadway World |access-date=October 25, 2021 |archive-date=December 6, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221206123449/https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwmusic/article/Deadsy-to-Perform-at-San-Quentin-State-Prison-With-Queens-of-the-Stone-Age-20181114 |url-status=live }}
