Daisyhead & the Mooncrickets was a project of Dax Riggs in 1997. It never took off.
Only two Daisyhead recordings are known to exist.
One is a self-titled 14-track recording, where most of the songs are cut off before they end. A few covers are included, David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" being among them. Half (or more) of the song titles are unknown. It's also perhaps the earliest recording of the "Deadboy & the Elephantmen Theme Song," which Riggs would sometimes play when he formed a band by that name in late 2000.
The other album is "Skeletal Circus Derails," which is the namesake of the Riggs fan site www.skeletalcircus.com.
Daisyhead & the Mooncrickets is akin to an urban legend for fans of underground blusey rock. But the two works, especially "Skeletal Circus Derails," are an important chapter in Riggs' history: Fans to this day regularly ask him to play certain songs from that album when they see him on tour. (The possiblity of that happening has not been ruled out.)
They also detail a point in Riggs' career when he's struggling for life after Acid Bath, which disbanded following the death of bassist Audie Pitre in 1997. Toward the end of that death-metal group, too, Riggs was pushing for a more meoldic sound, which materializes in his subsenquent bands Agents of Oblivion and Deadboy & the Elephantmen. But, that sound was first heard on the Daisyhead recordings.
