Xmmer is the latest record from His Name Is Alive released on September 18, 2007. Lead by Warren Defever, HNIA hails from Livonia, Michigan (which is just outside of Detroit for those of you on the west coast). This is the second record to feature Andrea Francesca Morici (ANDY FM) on vocals. I just bought this record after their show last night at the 400 Bar. Fantastic show. Great songs, great band with some noisy weirdness thrown in for good measure. They're live shows usually consist of homemade stage props made from painted cardboard and people in gorilla outfits running around passing out bananas. Before this show started, they handed out a dozen or so tambourines for audience participation throughout the show. This added a nice looseness and it was kind of like a hootenanny without all the singing. Lots of good shakers last night strutting their tambo skills. Nice.
