2006–2014years

Deadboy & the Elephantmen crawled out of Houma, Louisiana, in 2000, with Dax Riggs, late of Acid Bath and Agents of Oblivion, doing the howling up front. Their debut, If This Is Hell, Then I'm Lucky, got tangled in a distribution fight with an indie label, so they jumped to Fat Possum on a three-record deal and came back in 2005 with We Are Night Sky, a murky, moonlit thing that earned them the tag "swamp rock".

They spent the back half of 2005 and most of 2006 on the road behind it, from dive bars all the way up to Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and Bonnaroo. Riggs pulled his old Agents of Oblivion partner Alex Bergeron in on bass for the tour, but by the end of 2006 the outfit had shrunk to a two-piece of Riggs and Tess Brunet, and reviewers kept reaching for White Stripes comparisons. Brunet was gone by 2007, and so was the band; Riggs went solo. Their graveyard stomper "Stop, I'm Already Dead" got a second life in 2015 as the theme to the CW series iZombie.
