Electro and industrial music pioneer Gary Numan played to a packed and enthusiastic crowd last night at The Observatory in Santa Ana, CA. He was joined on stage by long time friend Robin Fink of Nine Inch Nails. See live photos below.
Numan is currently on the road for a run of dates that included a performance at Seattle’s Bumbershoot Festival, the upcoming Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit in Asheville, NC and supporting dates for Nine Inch Nails. See below for a complete list of upcoming live dates.
Gary Numan will release ‘Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind)’ on October 15th, his first new studio album in over seven years. A long-time advocate of artist independence, ‘Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind)’, will be released on Numan’s own label Machine Music. Numan co-produced his 20th studio album with long-time collaborator and producer Ade Fenton and also features some sublime guitar work from Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck. The album was recorded in England and completed at Numan’s home studio in Los Angeles, California, following his permanent move to the US at the end of 2012.
“If you have enjoyed electronic-oriented music at some point over the last couple of decades then you can feel free to send Gary Numan a thank-you note.”
Stereogum
“As fresh and resilient as ever, Numan won’t go down without a fight”
Consequence of Sound
“the music he’s been making through this period of rediscovery is fantastic, embracing a rugged, industrial-rock approach that emphasizes his spine-tingling vocals and deliberate use of synthesizers both old and new.”
Williamette Week
“The rock legend enjoys a new wave in his career”
OC Weekly
“Numan remains an icon.”
