GARY NUMAN- STYLE ICON IMMORTAL




Since we have been speaking of Robots, Androids, and AI's, it's a good time to discuss Gary Numan. He was singer, writer, and producer for Tubeway Army's two LP's- "Tubeway Army" and "Replicas" before flying solo. In 1979 the songs "Are Friends Electric?" and "Down In The Park" became the soundtrack to a watershed moment for a new sound in Youth Culture. Numan had huge success with songs like "Cars", and the albums "The Pleasure Principal" and "Telekon". Numan's relevance in the 80's began to wane and by the early 90's he had slipped off the radar. He enjoyed success again the late 90's and has continued to release and tour throughout the past decade.
Numan's music and aesthetic were a thematic triumph! A grim future melange of men, machines, artificial lifeforms and ambiguous gender identity. Coupled with a snazzy stage show and some of the best man blush of the 20th century Gary Numan has earned his place as one of JAMESBLERG's STYLE ICON IMMORTALS.
