After disputes with an independent label over the distribution of their debut album If This Is Hell, Then I'm Lucky, the band

label debut, We Are Night Sky, playing from bars and smaller venues to Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and Bonnaroo. In early
2006, Riggs recruited his former Agents of Oblivion bandmate, Alex Bergeron, to play bass on tour. Later that year, the band
was primarily a duo of Riggs and Tess Brunet. This line-up was often compared to The White Stripes in reviews, and their music
is sometimes referred to as "swamp rock." By 2007, Brunet left the band and Riggs went on to a solo career. « hide |
