Dax Riggs

A crucial amount in the Southern branch of the severe steel community, Dax Riggs was created in Evansville, IN, in Oct 15, 1973, where he lived along with his mom following the divorce of his parents. As Riggs edged into adolescence, he begun to issue his mother’s devotion towards the faith from the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and he transferred to Houma, LA to reside with his dad. While originally Riggs didn’t look after lifestyle down South, in his teenagers he created a interest for rock and roll & move, and after performing with a set of short-lived regional rings, Riggs became the business lead vocalist using the pioneering sludge steel music group Acid Bath, offering guitarists Sammy Duet and Mike Sanchez, bassist Audie Pitre, and drummer Jimmy Kyle. While Acidity Bath’s punishing but trippy, groove-laden audio would end up being deeply important, the group’s market was frustratingly little during its life, and the music group known as it quits in 1997 following the loss of life of Audie Pitre within an car crash. After fronting a short-lived group known as Daisyhead & the Mooncrickets, Riggs re-emerged over the music picture with Realtors of Oblivion, which also included Acidity Shower guitarist Mike Sanchez in addition to Alex Bergeron on bass, Jeff McCarty on drums, and Chuck Pitre on keyboards. Realtors of Oblivion’s audio was as doomstruck as Acidity Bath, however the strategy was even more subdued, displaying the impact of traditional hard rock and roll and blues in its slower tempos and smoother melodies. Realtors of Oblivion released one record in 2000, but split up shortly after completing a tour to aid it. Following the collapse of Real estate agents of Oblivion, Riggs shaped a new music group, Deadboy & the Elephantmen, which sported a stripped-down, blues-based audio and presented Riggs playing acoustic guitar in addition to performing. The group’s 1st recording, 2002’s If THAT IS Hell After that I’m Lucky, was a full-band affair, with Riggs became a member of by Jason Dupre on acoustic guitar, Chris Gautreaux on bass, and Jeff Lecompte on drums, but he pared the group back again to a duo for 2005’s WE HAVE BEEN Night time Sky, with Riggs became a member of by drummer Tess Brunet. In past due 2006, Brunet stop the music group, so when Riggs was saving Deadboy & the Elephantmen’s third recording with a revolving crew of music artists, he opted to get away from the group moniker and launch the music beneath the name Dax Riggs. Offering a few of Riggs’ most effective and psychologically incisive music up to now, We Sing of Just Blood or Like premiered in the summertime of 2007. For 2010’s State Goodnight towards the World, Riggs documented in his house studio room with Austin, TX local people Charley Siess (drums) and Kevin Fitzsimmons (bass).
