AHUMAN The Interview

PIMP: Tell us brief (true) tale about you which features east London somewhere in the story.
A Human: We met Vanessa Feltz outside ‘The Crown Tavern’ in Clerkenwell. The Band met in that pub as well. We have the photo to prove it. She had her head in a sculpture and it was playing Pink Floyd. She said it was shit…the sculpture that is. Not Pink Floyd, she’s too cool not to like Pink Floyd.

Someone asks you for your autograph. You say, ‘What message do you want’? They reply, ‘It’s up to you’. What do you to write?
A Human: I’m glad you like our music. Don’t ever look me in the eye again.

What’s the best thing about east London?
A Human: Amhurst café in Hackney. They put rice in the salt shaker to allow for a smoother pouring action.

What’s the worst thing about east London?
A Human: Tramps. They can really spoil a middle class bohemian’s day out. And flip-flops.

East London is known for its Cockney rhyming slang. Can you invent a piece of slang now?
A Human: Thora Hird (Turd).

What’s the strangest thing that’s happened to you while living in east London?
A Human: I met someone who wasn’t in a band.

Worst east Londoner to have ever lived?
A Human: Nasty Nick Cotton.

Which issue should be of most concern to Londoners at present?
A Human: Neu Rave and terrorism. Maybe not terrorism as much.

What can the audience expect from you at a live gig?
A Human: Shingles.
