Dax Riggs... of acid bath fame? Or a different dax riggs? I'd just be surprised if we actually liked the same thing.

Same dude, you'd be surprised to know he grew up here in Evansville, IN his parents still live here and he visits the state form time to time and I've had the opportunity to play with him on several occasions at the Dojo

that's really awesome. I always loved how he made shit up in interviews (or maybe it was someone else from the band?). For instance he made up a story about how John Wayne Gacy drew the art for their first album because he was a fan of their music (something which is verifiably not a true story but still kind of funny).

It's all theatrics, kind of like how GWAR behaves in interviews or how the run-of-the-mill death metal band portrays themselves, Acid Bath themselves were greatly influenced by cult and horror films, sociopaths, drug culture, and other social abnorms so it wouldn't surprise me if they "talked it up" in interviews hah

Listening to "When the kite string pops" you can make out in songs like "Cassie Eats Cockroaches" Clockwork Orange references and soundbytes and the song "Scream of the butterfly" is blatantly about abortion

I don't think you can even really call Ariel Pink underground anymore - but retro (at least inspiration wise) and baller applies...

Dax isn't bad, but fuck all you musicians who get up on stage with a tight white v-neck and reflective aviators. BE ORIGINAL.
