“The Pause showed up at 100% high energy, loud, and left it all on the stage - what more does anyone want from a live show?”

— Mikal Giancola, Alt Scene NOLA

The Pause emerged from the depths of the New Orleans Craigslist musicians wanted ads to bring you a hot, fast, and definitely-not-loud dance rock experience. Members August Dixon (bass, vocals), Brock Orrett (drums), Colin James (lead guitar, vocals), and Jordan Palka (rhythm guitar, vocals) combine vintage storytelling, Beatles reminiscent back-and-forth dynamics, and raw rock & roll tone to create a unique headbanging experience. What are you waiting for?  Just play, ‘Our Best One Yet!’ to see what the Pause are all about.

When it's rock & roll night in New Orleans, you always need more cowbell! The Pause delivered that cowbell during their electric performance at Siberia, New Orleans on July 31, 2024.
