Nick Mitchell of the musical group ‘Humans as Animals’ tells me he loves Tassie, he especially enjoys the outdoors and talks to me about his one visit so far, when he travelled on the Spirit of Tasmania, visited Cradle Mountain and went kayaking.
Humans as Animals are set to launch their new EP ‘Eukaria’ at the time of speaking. Nick said he had been in rehearsals with 2 weeks to go the culmination of two years in the making. Helping them at the launch will be actor and friend Michael Wahr (an actor/puppeteer from the stage production of War Horse), as Michael possesses the dramatic ability the band aspire to.
Nick said the band got their name when their bass player saw a boat of activists brandishing the banner ‘humans as animal’s and it was deemed the perfect name for the group.
The name of their EP ‘Eukaria’ also has an interesting story associated with it and was inspired by a friend studying engineering at university. ‘Eukaria’ is a scientific concept about how different components come together to make a one. This idea is continued in the story of how their album came together. Each band member wrote a ‘different’ song of experience that was a component of the whole, coming together into the ‘one’ that being the album.
The single ‘Her Name’ says Nick is about ‘the mixed world of relationships’ because relationships are possibly the one thing everyone on the planet is interested in at some time’. While composing the single Nick reflected on the girls in his past and how he handled the relationships.
The single ‘Her Name’ was released on July 18th and ‘Eukaria’ has been available since August 1st.
