Human - 15 Years Of Rotting & Rolling


** UPDATED INFORMATION **

Human 15 Years Of Rotting & Rolling

PRESS RELEASE INFORMATION

Christchurch death metal / grindcore legends Human will be performing a rare show at The Jet Set Lounge (cnr Madras & St Asaph Sts) in their hometown to celebrate their 15th anniversary of making music. Local acts Tainted, Habit and Dissolution will be in support. The confirmed show date is Friday, March 9th '07. Cover charge $10. Start time 9:30pm.

Human have a reputation for being one of the best live acts to ever come out of Christchurch and should not be missed. And as this will be a special occasion, the band is promising to kick up the level of entertainment by another notch or two!

Human was conceived in a gloomy one room bed-sit in inner city Christchurch in early 1992. Born with a love for the more extreme styles of the musical spectrum (death metal and grindcore to be exact), the band continues today with the same attitude and energy that has successfully propelled it through the last 15 years of existence. Comprised of vocalist / guitarist Scott Spatcher-Harrison, vocalist / bassist Vaughn Richardson, rhythm guitarist / vocalist Kezz Brewster, and drummer Paul Harrison, Human have maintained a die hard fanatical fan base that has expanded around the world (thanks to the internet) and convinced the band that music is still definitely worth playing and enjoying.

After 15 years of musical mayhem, Human can boast an impressive back catalog of recordings, rarities, and several television appearances. Couple this with the fact that Human have NEVER compromised their underground / cult band status for the commercial success of their peers, and you've got a band that defines "independence" - with pride. "Human has never been about getting into the charts or having a hit song on the radio," says vocalist / guitarist Scott Spatcher-Harrison. "Our feet have always been firmly planted in the underground. It's just something we'll always be, and we're cool with that."

The band is planning to tour New Zealand again in 2007 as well as release a new album to follow up from their successful 2005 CD "Blood Bucket".
