"War Elephant"
The group's debut studio album War Elephant was released on September 4, 2007 on Feow! Records. While Deer Tick continued to tour, the label and the band had disputes over royalty payments. Soon after, Partisan Records signed Deer Tick and re-released War Elephant on November 11, 2008.
In May 2009, due in large part to his love of the song "Dirty Dishes" (from "War Elephant"), NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams featured Deer Tick as the first band profiled on his BriTunes web-based music interview program.

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or elephant:
“Against war one might say that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished malicious. In its favor, that in producing these two effects it barbarizes, and so makes the combatants more natural. For culture it is a sleep or a wintertime, and man emerges from it stronger for good and for evil.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The elephant sneezed
And fell on his knees,
And that was the end of the monk,
the monk, the monk.”
—Unknown. Animal Fair. . .
