HN Rock Atlantic City!
Despite being a relatively quiet year for Human Nature on the home front, they have had an incredible year in the States kicking it off with a 10-week residency at the exclusive Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City. An Australian group performing Motown in the heartland of the predominantly African-American genre was a bold move but their How Sweet It Is concerts received rave reviews! Word on the grapevine is that they impressed so many people that another residency may be on the cards - possibly in Las Vegas.
Motor City Box Set!
Sure to be a Mother's Day favourite this year, Human Nature have gathered their Motown releases for a special box set edition titled Motor City Box Set. Compiling albums Reach Out, Dancing in the Street, Get Ready and concert DVD Live at the Capitol, the set has been repackaged for people looking to complete or start their Motown collection.
Television Appearances with Mary Wilson
Human Nature have been hot on the promotion trail with the release of their Motor City Box Set. Over the last two weeks, they have performed on the It Takes Two grand final, Sunrise and Mornings with Kerri-Anne with none other than Mary Wilson - original member of The Supremes!! As well as lending her vocals to third Motown album, Get Ready, Wilson has been performing with them on their current promotional tour. Last year, none other than Smokey Robinson accompanied the guys to help promote Get Ready.
First Nature Baby On the Way!
HUGE congratulations go out to parents-to-be Phil and Justine Burton who last month announced they were expecting their first child in October! The expectant couple have been together for over six years, getting married in 2004.

Final Album In Motown Trilogy!
Following the success of their biggest tours to date, The Motown Arena Spectacular, Human Nature will once again be heading into the studio for their third and final Motown album! The record which will complete the trilogy, preceded by Reach Out and Dancing in the Street, is rumoured to be titled Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing and will feature original Motown artists! While there's no word on when the album will be released, there is talk of a television special slotted for November and live shows in Atlantic City (New Jersey, US) early next year.
Belated Birthday Wishes
HNO would like to send out a huge Happy Birthday to the "bassman", Toby, for his 34th on Wednesday!

Human Nature Take A Break
The guys are off on holidays this month, enjoying a well-earned three week break in various parts of the world. However, they already have plans for 2007 with a gig in Adelaide on Australia Day and Toby set to appear in a new reality television show this year.
Australia Day Concert in Adelaide
In keeping with the tradition of Australia Day performances, Human Nature will be appearing in Adelaide this year as part of a free family concert. The special concert has been touted as a 'preview' of what to expect from their forthcoming national tour of Australia.
Toby Back on the Box
Toby will be gracing our television screens once again this year, not weaving his magic on the dancefloor but with his beloved dogs, Napoleon and Josephine, in a celebrity canine competition. Channel Ten's new reality show, Celebrity Dog School, will make it's on air debut early next month.
Happy New Year From HNO!
Welcome to 2007, Human Nature fans! Hope you all had a safe and Merry Christmas and a (so far) wonderful New Year!
