We Are Night Sky by Deadboy & The Elephantmen

We Are Night Sky, the second and last full-length album from Deadboy & the Elephantmen, went online late in 2005 and hit stores on February 7, 2006, the first of three records for Fat Possum. The Houma, Louisiana band was fronted by Dax Riggs, late of Acid Bath and Agents of Oblivion, and this was the first full album with drummer Tessie Brunet.

It's swamp rock with a graveyard glow: fuzzed, bluesy guitar, Riggs' haunted croon and a stripped two-piece stomp that reviewers kept comparing to the White Stripes. "Stop, I'm Already Dead" is the one that crawled out into the world, turning up in the 2008 horror film Day of the Dead and later becoming the opening theme of iZombie. By the time the album reached stores they were already on the road, and they toured it from bars to Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and Bonnaroo.
