full time. On April 16, 2007, a MySpace
bulletin was posted with a statement by Alec Püre who said "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 Elijah's solo project.
On September 11, 2008, Renn Hawkey apparently left the band in order to concentrate on carpentry and family life. "It was too rough-and-tumble a lifestyle" said the man who has become Renn Hawkey again, full time.
As of February 2010 Elijah has claimed "Deadsy is sleeping at the moment" although the true state of the band is still questioned by many. In the mean time he is focusing on his art which was premiered at the Kantor Gallery on February 24, 2010.
"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." – Elijah Blue
The lyrics and imagery of the songs sometimes focus on many subjects in either sexual, religious, magical or popular culture contexts. Occasionally one notices obscure references to pedophilia, Secret Societies, The Urantia Book
, Star Wars
, the novel Dune
, by Frank Herbert
and even Disney's
101 Dalmatians
.
Many of the multi-color ideas were influenced directly from the 1955 film This Island Earth. Elijah has even stated he took his alter ego
name from one of the leading characters of the story, Exeter.
