Stage Buzz: Gary Numan @ Metro

Gary Numan‘s near-perfect March, 2014 Metro performance gave fuel to the idea of a Clark Street residency – and his fans are the beneficiaries of the notion. The synth-pioneer’s three night stand will focus on a classic album each evening – playing each LP in its entirety.

Gary Numan’s Classic Album Tour has seen major success in both Los Angeles, and the UK.  “I very rarely look back at past glories, but with these shows I intend to not only look back, but to celebrate those early days. Without those songs and experiences I wouldn’t be here today,” Numan told IE.

The influence of Electronic and industrial music pioneer Gary Numan has been recognized by a diverse array of the world’s greatest music artists—from Prince to Lady Gaga, Jack White to Kanye West; Beck to Queens Of The Stone Age, and The Foo Fighters to Nine Inch Nails, many of which have collaborated with Numan and covered or sampled tracks from his vast back catalogue.

While Numan’s unique, pioneering style continues to connect he has never stopped innovating and his latest album, ‘Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind)’, is evidence of this desire to never standstill with the album marking Numan’s return to the UK Top 20 Albums Chart and Billboard 200 for the first time in over 30 years. The subsequent Splinter World Tour took in more countries and dates than any Numan tour since 1981 and ended with his biggest headline show in over 30 years at the legendary Hammersmith Apollo in London.
