Former Acid Bath and deadboy & The Elephantmen frontman Dax Riggs is releasing releasing his second solo CD Say Goodnight to the World on August 3rd (Fat Possum) and he is kicking off a national headlining tour on July 30th in Frisco, TX. The tour wraps up at Hal and Mal's in Jackson, MS on Sept. 24th and the tour itinerary includes a two-night stand at the Mercury Lounge on August 14th and 15th.

Say Goodnight To The World was recorded at Riggs' Austin, TX, home over two weeks in January. This new disc has been described as being "at times heavy, haunting and otherworldly - unexpectedly beautiful or rocking in its deadboy-like deathpop at others". Riggs co-produced the album with Robbie Lee (guitar and multi-instrumentalist; also of The Howling Hex, Baby Dee), with mixing by Eric Wofford (The Black Angels, Bill Callahan). Bandmates Charley Siess and Kevin Fitzsimmons handle drums and bass, respectively.

The August 14th show at Mercury Lounge is a late show which is scheduled for 11:30PM. The August 15th show is scheduled for 9:30PM and tickets for each night are $12.00.
