More tantalising Changeling related tweets from Toyah, and Toyah Official, over the Easter weekend: Yesterday: “Only a week till Brighton. The new set is a stonking blinder! A total rush! I can’t wait.“, and today: “Send my kisses to the old world…A BRAVE NEW WORLD is coming in 6 days!” along with the photo that got everyone excited when it was revealed a few years ago.

Have a great Easter Sunday! Toyah tweeted this cute photo of Willyfred on Good Friday.
Exciting news! A new ‘Changeling Resurrection’ related tweet from Toyah yesterday, mentioning what may, just possibly, be the opening song of the gig:
“Loving Creepy Room. Want to open set with it. It would set the mood for the show……BONKERS“.

A slightly strange but funny photo tweet from Toyah this evening: “Since her sex change toyah has been experiencing a little testosterone overload.”
Tweeting with Toyah #1: Toyah tweeted a fun photo of Robert (aka Frank Fripp) yesterday morning. Tweeting with Toyah #2: Toyah also tweeted last night: “Small world! Bill rieflin & don gunn (humans producer) are with simon phillips (drummer on the changeling) in seattle!” Tweeting with Toyah #3: Toyah tweeted today: “Talk about synchronicity! Booking seattle recording studio for Humans 3 & steve lillywhite is mixing there!“
More ‘Changeling’ related tweets from Toyah yesterday: “Fab day plugging in2 The Changeling. Started to really like the songs again. Can c beyond the stresses at the time.”, and this morning: “Pop Star (Live) is online 4 ur pleasure. toyahwillcox.com/gigs. Only 13 days till 1st concert. Can’t wait. The devil in me is excited.”
Another tour-related Toyah tweet yesterday, with some amazing news included. ‘Voodoo Doll’ from 1981, released on the 12″ of ‘Thunder In The Mountains’, will be included in ‘The Changeling Resurrection’ setlist:
“My goodness VooDoo Doll is a really good song! My B-sides rocked! Even if I say so myself . Def in the new set.”
Of course many of Toyah’s “b-sides” were better than most band’s “a-sides”: Laughing With The Fools, Street Addict, War Boys, Alien, In The Fairground, Warrior Rock, Baptised in Fire, I Explode, Haunted, Snow Covers The Kiss, Plenty… (not forgetting For You, a flexi b-side). An almost perfect setlist in itself! A Toyah “Blistering B-Sides” tour, anyone?
The revised dates for ‘The Changeling Resurrection’ are confirmed and Toyah tweeted yesterday: “2’day I officially start learning the tour set. Its meaty, its chewy, its deep, its dark, its moody, its dance-able“. Get set for the Madhatter’s tea party: The Resurrection begins soon…
On Tuesday Toyah tweeted an update on The Humans writing sessions.
“Humans last writing day. 20 songs in the demo pot! Sooooo excited! Soooo rockin”, along with a photo of the band.

From yesterday evening, possibly Toyah’s best ever tweet: “Dear fellow Changelings…. Bush Hall is about to be a sell out so get tickets now if you are coming. :-)”. All the tour info is available by clicking below.
Toyah has been tweeting, over the last few days, about The Humans.
Bill Rieflin has recently arrived in the UK, and inbetween writing songs for The Humans’ third album (referred to as Humans 3 by Toyah) a number of practical jokes have been played on Bill. Most consisting of various objects being placed on his bed.
So far the tally is: A whole pineapple, followed by a hoover, then it was Willyfred the rabbit and a roll of gaffer tape. Bill also had two tangerines and a banana put in his shoes :)
Toyah also tweeted on 16th March: “Humans wrote 5 great song ideas y”day. We are on a roll.” and today: “The Humans have written 17 ideas in three days! Just going over them with fine tooth comb.”
From ‘Sugar Rush: The Humans Fan Page’: Bill Rieflin has co-produced the single “Crush Vaccine” by Atomic Bride, a band from Seattle, with a new album out 23rd May called “Dead Air”.
