They're a roots-punk duo with a boy on the guitar and a girl on drums, but Deadboy and the Elephantmen prove that they're no cut-rate White Stripes on their shadowy, bayou-meets-garage debut, We Are Night Sky. Fresh-scrubbed twenty-eight-year-old singer Dax Riggs is an Indiana boy with New Orleans dreams, weaned on whiskey and blues; his low Delta howl is the pretty, pained yelp of a wounded swamp animal. And unlike Meg White, Tessie Brunet, 23, is a powerhouse behind the drums. Riggs cribs a hot-and-bothered guitar line from Prince's "Kiss" on the sexy funeral stomp "Stop, I'm Already Dead." The addictive punk-blues explosion "Blood Music" fairly oozes with raw shimmy and shake. If rocking hard is a crime, Deadboy are headed straight for the electric chair.
