then & now:

his name is alive are more or less a "sound lab",
            formed around the time that warren defever was 16.
            the band name {supposedly} stems from some notes
            warren had written in a history class pertaining to
            abraham lincoln. he thought it sounded good, so he
            decided to name his next band 'his name is alive'.
            from the bio released with 'livonia', warren and
            angie met at high school and worked together on music
            for some time. angie then left for college and
            warren met up with karin oliver at eastern michigan
            university. from then on, the group has been a
            loose line-up, warren being the one who constructs the
            the music and writes the bulk of the lyrics, karin
            being the lead vocalist for all releases, and their
            friends playing various instruments {and non-instruments}
            as instructed by warren. angie soon dropped out of the
            picture after 'livonia' was released...
            all hnia material is recorded in the basement of
            warren's parent's {now his} house in livonia, michigan...
            initially on 4-track recorders, on a reel to reel 8-track
            as of '91. at the present time, hnia have done 1 full-blown
            tour of the US and often play shows in and around michigan...
            if you're looking for straight answers about the
            group, their music, and anything else, good luck.
            warren likes to tilt the truth a bit, so nothing is
            ever 100% believable. you can get in touch with the band
            via the address below, but i warn you...hnia are
            not very good about getting back to their mail and
            it may be a year or more before you get any response.
            in fact, i wouldn't even count on a response. hnia
            used to sell t-shirts and mail order tapes themselves,
            but the shirts are all gone and so are the tapes...

 spinoffs?:

          * elvis hitler *
            this is a "hellbilly" group consisting of jim leedy,
            damian lang, john and warren defever.
            they have released 3 albums on Restless {'hellbilly',
            'disgraceland', 'supersadomasochisticexpialidocious'}
            and at last word, had a 4th wrapped up {though i
            think they were dropped from Restless and are shopping
            for a new label}. in any event, warren defever
            will not be a part of any future elvis hitler records
            or tours, and he stresses that he was in no way
            responsible for their lyrics, album covers, etc. he
            "just played bass". unless one likes extremely goofy,
            punkrockabilly, elvis hitler are best left untouched
            by his name is alive fans...

          * bone machine *
            punk rock meets artsy garage band.
            there really is no way of giving bone machine a
            proper description. they have one record out on
            AUD {'decapasaurus'}, and have been recording
            tracks for a new album for at least year...though
            when they'll be able to release something new is
            up in the air. the group consists of warren,
            jymn, and scott...

          * princess dragon-mom *
            noise. noise. noise. noise. noise.
            this is yet another threesome consisting of
            warren, davin, and jymn. their music is
            very loud and very bizarre and a lot of fun
            for the whole family.
            princess dragon-mom, as well as
            all defever related bands, share the same p.o. box
            and pd-m seemingly want inquiries from the curious...
            {sidenote: non-japanoise loving hnia fans should stay
            away from this as it is nothing but *pure noise*...i have put
            together a separate pd-m & Time Stereo discog. for those
            who are interested.}

          * the dirteaters *
            similar to his name is alive, the dirteaters
            are made up of melissa, warren, damian, karen
            neal {early incarnation}, and denise james.
            this is melissa's group and she is the primary
            songwriter. no releases as of yet, but they may
            have an album out in the near future and will
            continue to play live in and around MI...

          * his name is arrive *
            this is hnia's take on japanese noise music.
            The group seemingly doesn't exist anymore, but
            it should be said that warren and chelle-marie were
            at the head of this project. they were supposed to release
            something at one time...they had a complete set of
            songs. their music has been described as
            incredibly beautiful and melodic, with fits of
            uncontrollable noise here and there...

          * grenadine *
            warren produced the group's 2nd album, titled
            'nopalitos', and the single from that album.
            rob christiansen, mark robinson, and jenny toomey
            make up the band.

          * inside-out *
            this is the band that karen neal is from.
            a 3 grrrl line-up, along the lines of other
            punk-type girl groups. they have several albums
            and singles out, only attainable via mail order or
            lucky searching...

          * liquorice *
            band make-up is jenny toomey, dan littleton (ida),
            and trey many.
            warren produced the band's debut record, 'listening cap', a
            one-off release with 4ad. they also have a single out on
            simple machines {'stalls'} and a song on the cd and first
            limited 10" 'red, hot, and bothered' from the Red Hot
            organization {the same people that put out 'No Alternative',
            amongst others}...

          * warren defever's mystic moog orchestra *
            japanese noise music with moogs, no guitar.
            Their first live performance was made up of 9 people
            playing nothing but moogs and included warren, jymn, and
            laetitia sadier of stereolab {who the moog orchestra had
            opened for}. they have a one release {self-titled, i'm pretty
            sure. i need to check up on the specifics, though} available...

          * esp summer *
            warren and ian masters {ex-pale saints, spoonfed hybrid}.
            a cassette of this recording is available on davin & kenny
            own cassette label, Time Stereo, and a limited 10" of remixes from
            the cassette is out on farrago records. a 7" is planned for
            release in the very near future, on perdition plastic...

          * esp beetles *
            a group that has an "all-star" line-up.
            the band consists of warren, davin, kenny, matt
            smith, and damian lang. sometimes scott. they have
            2 tapes out on Time Stereo and have played live in
            MI often {along with any other warren band that
            ever existed.} a split 7" is planned with local livonia
            noiseband and pals of mine, jennifer wolski, which will
            also earmark the end of the beetles...

          * dead his name is alive *
            once again, a noise group in it's purest form.
            one song on noise compilation, 'the arbitrary nature
            of meaning'. also, there is a pd-m song on this cd.
            as told to me by jeff, the co-owner of Isomorphic
            Records: "Warren wanted to use a different name since the
            track 'Do You Want to Have Trouble' is pure noise in the vein
            of Hanatarash, Hijohkaidan, or early Controlled Bleeding and he
            didn't want to alienate any of his mainstream fans."

          * inside-out *
            this is the band that karen neal is from.
            a 3 grrrl line-up, along the lines of other punk-type girl
            groups. they have several albums and singles out, only
            attainable via mail order...

          * godzuki *
            warren produced this band's first "record", which is
            being released as a set of 7"s on March records, as
            well as a song that appears on a split 7" with other MI
            band asha vida. an easy description of their sound is
            "indie-noise-pop".
            warren will be producing other MI groups over time...
            possibly working with monaural next...

Subject: belly, catherine wheel (long)


well, i hopped on my bike last night for the twenty minute ride to the
belly show (god, am i out of shape!)

got there after jewel had played (darn!), but shortly before catherine
wheel started.  i have to say, they really didn't do much for me.  with the
exception of one or two songs, the music they played was the sort of thing
i'd hear if i walked into a bad frat party (soundgarden rules heh heh!)

after gritting my teeth through the cw performance (and an encore, despite
the fact that almost no one cheered for it), i anxiously awaited belly.
oh, one more thing.  for the first song of their encore, cw played a song
called "pain" (i guess it could be "pane," but i kind of doubt it).  it was
actually pretty decent, a sort of slow, accoustical number, until the rest
of the band started playing.  after that, it quickly went downhill.

then belly came on, playing mostly stuff from king, of which i'm not all
that fond.  they played angel and low red moon, though, two of the three
songs i wanted to hear (the other was star).  for the last song of the
encore, they played a new song, which tanya announced was "for the ladies."
it started out really slow with tanya and gail singing a capella (ok,
there may have been a keyboard or guitar playing softly, i don't remember).
gail can't sing at all.  the song was kind of lame, and several people
shouted during this segment, causing tanya to kind of stop and re-start a
couple of times.  eventually, the song picked up, and the show ended with a
drum solo.

can't really post a set list because i don't know many of the songs on king
very well, but they played judas, red, feed the tree, gepetto, um. . . some
more.  i still think that that REDREDRED bit in the chorus of red ruins a
great song.

oh well,

eric

Is there anyone who has any idea what's the title (and the point!) of the
hidden, 5th track on the Scheer 'Schism' CD-EP? (it isn't on the 12")


4AD catalogue number trivia:

On the inner bag of the Air Miami 'Me.Me.Me' LP you can find a large number
5012, while the actual cat.number of the album 5011.
The original cat.number in the running grooves of the Scheer 12" is  5013,
while the actual cat. number is 5012 (the '3' has been striked out and
replaced by a '2').
So it seems that at a certain point a release was cancelled or re-scheduled.
Any suggestions?

Yours,

Subject: Red House Painters


Well folks, I read in the  San Francisco Bay Guardian, Oct. 25 issue from
the column "Scene'n'Herd the following:

        After three years, four albums, and one EP, the Red House Painters
and 4AD have parted company. Singer Mark Kozelek says the break was
initiated by a side project he recorded with Bruce Kaphan of the American
Music Club, Michael Urbano and Davey Faragher of the John Hiatt Ban, and
Stephanie Finch of Chuck Prophet's Creatures of Habit. "When I turned it in
to 4AD, they let me know that there were parts they wanted to edit out"
Kozelek said. "This was a departure from my other recoreds - there were
rock songs and extended guitar solos that they didn't like." Kozelek is
currently shopping the album - which he plans to release under the Red
House Painters' moniker - and should start gigging again in early December.

Well folks, I for one am very glad that Mark is growing as a musician. I am
very sad though, that American Music Club is no more.  Let us have a minute
of silence. I know this information is probably not that new as I new about
this stuff when I went to the Berkeley Square and American Music Hall
concerts for RHP. But, thought inquiring minds might want to know...since
its in print now.

Thanx-a-latte

if anyone is still in need of the cd, waterloo in austin has five copies.
$23.99 each + tax. i will be willing to pick them up for people if they
want as long as the money is sent first, the only reason for this being
that i can't afford to buy these discs myself, i don't get paid for three
weeks and will have no money after this weekend. i am a responsible trader
if not the swiftest, but i try. if you want a cd, email me.

this pubic 4ad service announcement (no, dahling, no sp) has been brought

 -- Sure, honey, take as many as you want from the jar.
 -- But, Mommy, I don't have any arms.
 -- No arms, no cookies.
