Breaking news,,,, Toyah & The Humans to play The Talking Heads- 16th April 2015! Tickets avaiable now- £15 from the venue or online: talkingheads.vticket.co.uk/product.php?xProd=239 THE HUMANS ARE AN INNOVATIVE, FOUR-PIECE, CONTEMPORARY ROCK BAND COMPRISING TOYAH WILLCOX, BILL RIEFLIN, CHRIS WONG AND IGOR ABULADZE. THE GROUP BRINGS TOGETHER FOUR LIFETIMES OF MUSICAL EXPERIENCE, EXPERIMENTATION AND CRAFTSMANSHIP. THE BAND ARE THE BRAINCHILD OF TOYAH WILLCOX. THE HUMANS were formed in 2007 after Toyah was invited by the Estonian ambassador to tour Estonia. Highly experimental, the band reflects the distinctly different musical backgrounds and life experiences of its members. This creative formation marked a radical departure for Toyah who comments: The songs are deconstructed down to the bones of raw experience, exposing human nature and irony”. Dispensing with the conventional rock band line-up, the DNA of The Humans consists of the voice (taking much more of a role as instrument) flanked by two bass players, with no designated drummer or guitarist. Although recorded and live work can include programmed drumming, beats or guest guitar, the intention is to allow space for the vocal to sit above and alongside the soundscape rather than compete with the noise of a rock band.
