Awesome band bios of our time: Naomi Hates HumansI started writing music as Naomi Hates Humans in 2006. I'd been out of uni for a couple of years and had moved to London (having grown up in rural sussex and gone to uni in bournemouth). I hated my job and my flat, my band had split up, I'd stopped writing songs and was incredibly lonely. I came in to a bit of money and went to Tokyo for a week by myself. I can't speak japanese and I don't know anyone out there. I didn't know the japanese for 'vegetarian' so mainly just ate bananas and ice cream the whole time. I also barely slept because I couldn't aclimatise to the heat/time difference. It was wonderful. When I got back I felt refreshed - there's nothing like not eating, sleeping or talking to anyone in one of the most densely populated and strangest cities in the world to make you reassess things.
Soon afterwards I started writing songs again and took to performing with just my acoustic guitar under the name Naomi Hates Humans. The name harks back to my old band, Morbo Hates Humans (Morbo being the newsreader with the big green head in Futurama). I played anywhere that would have me for a couple of years; pubs, clubs, youth clubs, gardens, house parties, etc and sold homemade demos for a pound a go.
After 2 years I decided to record an album using some money my grandfather had left me...
