.The Humans - New Songs
.Monday 23rd March, 2009 • Thanks to Marcus..................................Music
The Humans MySpace has been updated with samples of new songs; 'Labyrinth', 'Twisted Soul' (previously 'This Is Your Life'), 'Demigod', and 'Quicksilver', plus a new version of 'We Are The Humans'.

Toyah's
Official MySpace now also has 'Quicksilver' and 'Demigod' on its player.
.The Humans - A Brief History
.Monday 23rd March, 2009.................................................................Music
"THE HUMANS is a project that fills my heart with light and happiness. The story behind this is the Estonian Embassy asked myself, the hubby, and Bill Reiflin to do a concert in Estonia around November, of course Robert said No...why say YES when a word like NO is so easy to say. BUT Bill and I said YES! And thus we became THE HUMANS."

That's what Toyah said about The Humans in her May 2007 Webletter/Blog.

Three samples of songs; 'We Are The Humans', 'This Belongs To You' and 'This Is Your Life' were made available at The Humans MySpace when it launched in June 2007.

Exclusive photos of Toyah and Bill Rieflin were also added to MySpace and later further images included Chris Wong, who became The Humans' third member.

In September 2007 a Dean Stockings video was produced for the song 'We Are The Humans', featuring footage of the band rehearsing. The album, 'We Are The Humans', was recorded in Seattle, USA.

So far The Humans have played three live gigs; 25th October, Tallin, 26th October, Tartu, and 27th October, Viljandi. All in 2007 and all in Estonia. A fourth concert, the 'We Are The Humans' album launch, takes place on 1st May, once again in Estonia.

This concert is special for a number of reasons; it's the launch of a much-anticipated album, Robert Fripp will be supporting The Humans, as well as guesting in their set, the gig will be recorded for a possible live release, and the President of Estonia will be in attendance as part of the Anniversary of Estonia Independence.

THE HUMANS... Are Here!

.Sunday 22nd March, 2009.............................................................Various
• Toyah is mentioned in an Edinburgh Evening News article, Celebrity fans help float Gideon and the Shark, published yesterday: "We were surrounded by music growing up," says Gideon. "Our dad managed bands so there were always musicians wandering around and he'd take us to a lot of gigs." The siblings' dad managed Toyah Willcox back in the 80s, and Gideon remembers it as being "pretty mad having her wandering around with her crazy get up and orange hair."

The Move Channel website namechecked Toyah in their Celebrity Neighbours feature on Friday.

• A similar article on Property Wire. They report UK property investors favour same countries as celebs, which, again, mentions Toyah.

• There is still no word on when the Vampires Rock DVD, with Toyah, will be available. Keep checking www.vampiresrock.com for news on this.

• Unfortunately it now looks unlikely that Anchoress will be released on Region 2 DVD this month, or anytime soon. The DVD was scheduled for next week, 29th March, but most online retailers are now saying this won't happen.

.Birmingham Post - Motor City Music
.Monday 9th March, 2009 • Thanks to Andi................................Press Clips
The 'Birmingham Post' have interviewed Chris Phipps. He used to be one of the hosts of Look Hear! with Toyah in the late 70s and early 80s.

Roger Shannon talks to Chris Phipps about Birmingham’s rich rock heritage

From presenting and interviewing on radio, it was a small step to doing the same on television and the opportunity arose when BBC producer Roger ­Casstles assembled a team to front the BBC Midlands pop show Look! Hear!, produced at BBC Pebble Mill.

The pairing of Phipps with Toyah ­Willcox is self-effacingly described by Chris: “We were played off against each other as a punk versus a Keith Chegwin.” Toyah, the Birmingham-born actress and singer, was hot-foot from her infamous appearance in the Derek Jarman movie, Jubilee (1978).

Look! Hear! showcased the region’s post-punk and 2-Tone scene – Duran Duran, The Specials, Selector, Dexys Midnight Runners – making the Pebble Mill a key location in the promotion of the city’s burgeoning musical pedigree.

.London Online - Vampires Rock Review
.Friday 6th March, 2009..................................................................Theatre
Vampires Rock Musical with special guest star Toyah Willcox at The Shaw Theatre, Euston Road, London.

This was the last night of a huge 50 date UK tour for this production. On stage for 2 hours 30 mins over two sets it was really great fun. It has hints of The Rocky Horror Show along with a great live band and stage set, sexy female dancers, great costumes and the best rock soundtrack ever.

The singers feature 80s pop star Toyah who sings and looks better than ever. Set included songs by Guns And Roses, AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Rainbow, Billy Idol, Bon Jovi, Queen, Meat Loaf, Ozzy Osbourne and many more. Lots of comedy and adlibs between the songs. Toyah Willcox singing "Sweet Child Of Mine" was a highlight.

For the last 30 mins the crowd (some who dressed up) were on their feet dancing to gems like 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love', 'I Love Rock n Roll', 'We Will Rock You', 'Devel Gate Drive', 'Bat Out Of Hell' and an encore of 'God Gave Rock n Roll To You'.

Some of the bands I see should go and see this rocktacular to get some ideas on how to put on a proper visual show. A really enjoyable evening. See www.vampiresrock.com for more info and keep checking for future dates with another major tour planned for Sept 2009.

.Naughty Toyah?
.Thursday 5th March, 2009.............................................................Pictures
Does anyone agree that this recent caricature of MSP Nicola Sturgeon actually looks more like Toyah than Nicola?

Nicola is the Deputy First Minister of Scotland, and Deputy Leader of the SNP.

The painting by Glasgow based French artist Laetitia Guilbaud is titled "Naughty Nicola".

"I wanted to show under the austerity of a politician, is a real woman of sexual attraction. I have seen Nicola many times on television. Many people may say she is a bit of a mouse with no sex appeal - but I see a wildness."

"I am sure she cracks the whip in Cabinet — as Alex Salmond probably can testify."

.Office Reality - Executive storage cupboards for Toyah Willcox
.Thursday 5th March, 2009........................................................Press Clips
Singing and acting star Toyah Willcox has chosen maple executive bookshelves from our Liberia storage range. Available in a combination of two widths and three heights, the Liberia range can be further customised with the use of glass door, wooden doors drawers and tambour shutters. Toyah specified a mixture of open shelving and cupboard doors for her home office library. Extending to a height of 2140m this system provides comprehensive solutions to a variety of storage needs while still preserving an upmarket executive appearance. Impressed by the comprehensiveness and value for money on our web site.

Toyah said: ’Like so many people around the world my company depends on my having an office at home. I have TV cameras and press photographers in my home on a daily basis so I was looking for style and good workmanship.

Having discovered Office Reality on the net I was excited by the crisp, solid, sassy designs they had on offer. The ordering process was easy and efficient, in fact I managed to set it all up whilst on a national tour. The shelves arrived in a matter of weeks and the standard of work is excellent, nothing disappointed, even the delivery man was charming! The quality and value for money rates 10 out of 10! I wholeheartedly recommend the products on offer, my shelves are from the Executive Furniture and Storage Range.'

.Secret Diary of A Call Girl - DVD Box Set
.Monday 2nd March, 2009............................................................Releases
The Secret Diary Of A Call Girl DVD Box Set, containing both seasons of the hit show. This is available to buy from today. As is The Complete Series Two DVD (see news update below).

ITV2's sexually-charged drama, Secret Diary Of A Call Girl, follows the double life of a beautiful young prostitute working the streets of London. By day, Hannah (Billie Piper, Doctor Who) is a respectable legal secretary who works long hours to make ends meet. By night she's Belle, a ruthless, money-hungry hooker who will do anything to satisfy her clients' basest fantasies. A professional in every sense of the word, Belle slips with seeming ease from the role of girl-next-door to high-heeled dominatrix, taking care never to become emotionally involved with her clients. But the constant pressures of keeping her two lives separate begins to take its toll, and in an unguarded moment with a handsome stranger, Belle lets slip her true identity. From then on, he only wants to be with Hannah...

Based on the internet blogs of London call girl Belle de Jour, this provocative TV drama presents a very human angle on the sex trade. Released here is every episode from the show's first and second series.
