Be the first to hear new Super group!
Toyah Willcox is one of the hardest working people around. The accomplished singer/actress /presenter puts her all into everything she does. What may be surprising though is just what, and who, THE HUMANS are...
THE HUMANS are three people: Toyah Willcox, Bill Rieflin (REM) and Chris Wong. On their first single release, These Boots Are Made For Walkin’, they are joined by legendary guitarist and musician Robert Fripp.
THE HUMANS comprise highly respected musicians from widely different musical backgrounds. They bring together lifetimes of musical experience. They were formed by Toyah in 2007 after a touring invitation from the President of Estonia to Robert Fripp (her husband). His declining the offer provided the impetus for her to forge a new creative venture, a significant musical departure.
The band performed three sold-out concerts across Estonia in October 2007 at the request of the Estonian embassy. The band then regrouped in Bill Rieflin's homeground of Seattle, USA in February 2008 to record songs. An album took shape.
Produced by Bill Rieflin, the 10-song CD, We Are The Humans, was mixed in Seattle by Rieflin and Don Gunn and mastered by Simon Heyworth (Tubular Bells, Brian Eno) in Devon, UK.
Comparisons are always misleading but if The White Stripes met with the vocal adventures of Lou Reed, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel and Captain Beefheart then you might have a compass for where the band are headed musically.....
We have five copies of “We are The Humans” up for grabs for our lucky readers. To enter simply tell us who Toyah is married to.
The first five correct entries out of the bag will win a copy of the band’s new album.
Good Luck!
