Growing up in a dilapidated seaside town at the foothill of a mountain in north Wales, Rebecca Jade abandoned school at 14, studied performance art and fully immersed herself in guitar playing and song- writing. Having decamped to London a decade ago, her songs are infused with melancholy and melodrama: reflecting a wayward rural childhood and adolescence, and the ramshackle existence and experiences of the city.
RJ currently plays with Andrew 'One Cup' Pridding on bass guitar and vocals, Odel Lennon Jeffries is on these recordings, but has had to flee London and move back up North, so we need a drummer. Contact us!.
Rebecca Jade is also a singer and percussionist in the vocal harmony girl group, Citizen Helene & The Racists. There are a few lovely gigs coming up so do have a look at the profile below. RJ also DJ's under the alias The Lost Chord of Atlantis, hosts the 1969 Baby! club and co presents the gLASS sHRIMP show on Resonance FM. One Cup is Sky Comes King, and Odel Lennon Jeffries is The Night Terrors.
Tune in to episode 12 of the Lantern Society Radio Hour, featuring the creme de la creme of the capital's most comely crooners. Stunning live performances beautifully captured for your listening pleasure, at London's Finest Folk Club, The Lantern Society.
And, why not join us for the next Lantern Society - Thursday 18th June.

Hey! Appologies if this is the second comment we've sent you recently...bit of a mix up in the bands communication :)
Anyway.. we've been a little quiet for the last few months but we are very pleased to announce our new EP is finished and up on our myspace! It's called Bright Lights and has four brand spanking new tracks to blow your mind. Please have a listen and tell us what you think and if you love it, buy it! :)
Rebecca, I enjoyed listening to and playing "Shaking My Heart" (Key of C#: C#-F#-G#) Rock On Rock On! :) ------------------------------------------- -----------------C----------------------- ------------F--------G------------------ ---------Bb------------D--------------- --------Eb---------------A------------- --------Ab--------------E-------------- -------------C#-------B--------------- ------------------F#-------------------- ------------------------------------------
We're about to record a new EP but can't decide which songs to put on it. To avoid any more 'heated debates' we've decided to let the good people of the internet decide.
If you've got a spare few minutes, please head over to http://www.naomihateshumans.com - have a listen to the songs and rate them. We promise to stand by the opinions of the interweb. Even if you are wrong.
