Human Toys (Fr) Touring New Zealand in November

The only band you're likely to see setting fire to a theremin live on stage, Parisian punks Human Toys will be sparking a whole lotta much-needed fun across Aotearoa this November. Described as "somewhere between the Ramones and the Avengers" (John Steed and Emma Peel, not the US box office monstrosity), the duo of Poupée Mecanik and Jon Von's (ex-Rip Offs) 2020 debut album Spin to Win is a maximum energy statement of intent — mixing up garage fuzz overload with spacey electronic solos and a smorgasbord of rockin' lyrical obsessions, on such instantly catchy anthems as 'Plate In My Head', 'Trashman', 'Let's Get High', 'Doomsday Device' and 'Church of Lux'. Nab tickets now and dress to shake your stuff with Human Toys this spring, brought to you by the champs at Clean Dirt...

Press release:

Human Toys est un duo punk rock parisien. Poupée Mecanik (chant, thérémine) aime jouer avec les archétypes féminins : la subversion est le nom du jeu, l'humour est la règle. L'arrivée du guitariste Jon Von, ex-Rip Offs, a transformé le groupe avec un set 100% nouveau de punk rock, quelque part entre les Ramones et les Avengers ! Le LP (octobre 2020) sur Topsy-Turvy records (une division de Soundflat) s'inspire de sujets allant des films de série B, des drogues et de la perversion à la politique, au sexisme et à la liberté de genre. Un nouveau 45-t sortira début 2024 chez Outro Records (Californie) avec une vidéo animée.
