about
Daisyhead & the Mooncrickets was a musical project of Dax Riggs in 1997 that never took off. Only two recordings are known to exist. One is a self-titled 14-track recording, Daisyhead & the Mooncrickets, where most of the songs are cut off before they end. A few covers are included, such as David Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust”. Most of the song titles are unknown. The other is a poorly-recorded 6 song demo entitled The Skeletal Circus Derails. The recording marked a departure in Riggs’ musical history from heavy metal to a much more melodic underground singer-songwriter style. Fans to this day will regularly shout requests for songs from that album when they see Riggs on tour. The songs on The Skeletal Circus Derails also detail a point in Riggs’ career when he was struggling for a life and identity apart from the metal band Acid Bath, for which he had been the frontman until the group disbanded in 1997. Toward the end of the Acid Bath project Riggs had been pushing for a more melodic direction which materialized in his later projects (Agents of Oblivion, deadboy & the Elephantmen) and subsequent solo career.
