Human Host began in December 2002 in Baltimore, Md., USA. Their work is a combination of crunk, psychedelia, folklore, and theatre.
Led by Mike Apichella, the creative core of Human Host also includes producers Rick Weaver, Jeff Duncan, singer/producer Josh Marchant, and multi instrumentalist/songwriter Lucas Rambo, with a live group featuring Apichella and Lucas Rambo accompanied by a rotating ensemble of diverse musical & non-musical contributors and collaborators.
They have released four full length c.d.'s: a split with the Baltimore band Fridge A on the Baths Of Power label in summer 2003, Invisible Arteries released by MT6 Records in October 2004, Exploding Demon(MT6) in February '06, The Halloween Tree which came out in summer '07 exclusively on Fall Records as a digital download (with the c.d. version of it jointly released by Fall Records, Terra Firma Records, Firecracker Firecracker, and Human Conduct), and most recently Creature Mountain released in December 2008 in both the c.d. and download format on Firecracker Firecracker Records.
Human Host have also released many non full length records, contributed tracks to several various artists compilations, and they have also scored the soundtrack music for two independent films: 'Electric Blood' by Evan Devine and 'Mall Crawlers' by N.O. Smith, both of which were released in the winter of 2008. Off and on since 2007, the group has been hard at work collaborating with various auteurs on a feature length, self titled Human Host movie to be completed in the near future.
Between 2004 and 2009 HH promoted it's work through 9 different domestic tours that found them performing live shows all over America at a wide variety of venues, including a 2 month long coast to coast US tour in the summer and fall of 2008.
Later this year Amber Majesty (the 5th full length Human Host record) will be released as a download and on cassette by Firecracker Firecracker Records.
