Johnny Indovina (singer /songwriter) is best known for his
intense and thought provoking work, both solo and with
his former band Human Drama. Through years of sold-out
live performances and critically acclaimed albums, Indovina's
insightful songs about the frailties of the human condition
have consistently found a hungry audience and a constantly
growing fan base.
From 1985 until 2004, Johnny Indovina fronted the
underground/ Goth band Human Drama. From their formation
in New Orleans, through their scaling the heights of the fertile
mid-1980s Los Angeles club scene, their moving live shows,
fueled by Indovina’s poetic imagery, built a huge following.
The combination of Indovina’s impeccable songwriting and
the band’s fast-growing popularity led to a contract with RCA
records in 1988. They released two records, “Hopes Prayers
Dreams Heart Soul Mind Love Life Death” and “Feel”, before
moving to Triple X records in 1991. There, they produced what
many consider Indovina’s masterpiece, “The World Inside”,
beginning a string of critical successes which continued with
“Pinups”, “The Human Drama EP”, “Songs of Betrayal”, “14,384
Days Later”, “Solemn Sun Setting”, “In a Perfect World: the
Best of Human Drama”, “Moments in Time”, and “Cause and
Effect”. Despite flourishing primarily in the USA underground,
Indovina and Human Drama achieved almost legendary
status within the large gothic communities of Mexico and
Latin America.
Yet it is perhaps on “Moments in Time” that Indovina’s brilliance
shines brightest. This collection of live solo performances was
culled from shows in such far reaching venues as Cafe Bizarro
in Mexico City and CBGB’s in New York. In these intimate settings,
stripped down to their simplest form, Indovina’s compositions
easily pass a song’s ultimate test - a singer alone with a guitar,
no additional instruments or voices.
After ending Human Drama in 2005, Indovina created Sound Of
The Blue Heart, which released its debut album “Beauty” in 2006,
followed in 2009 by “Wind of Change” .
