Deadboy and the Elephantmen

Contact: daxdriggs@hotmail.com

Genre: Indie Rock

Originally formed as a moniker for the solo work of Dax Riggs, Deadboy and the Elephantmen had a full line-up by 2001, becoming more of a group effort. Composed of Riggs, Alex Bergeron, Adam Clement and Sean Keating, Deadboy and the Elephantmen have released three full-length albums, including 2005's "We Are Night Sky" under Fat Possum Records. Known for covering artists such as Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Bob Dylan, the group has played the likes of festivals such as Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and Bonnaroo. Despite relative underground success, in early 2007 it was announced that the band is no more and Riggs would continue to release music under his own name.
