TUBEWAY
ARMY
was
the
name
of
Gary
Numan’s
band.
Formed
in
1977,
their
self-titled
debut
album
was
released
at
the
tail
end
of
1978.
This
album
truly
paved
the
way
for
Gary
Numan
to
become
an
electronic
pioneer.
It
was
during
the
sessions
for
this
album
that
he
came
across
a
minimoog
synthesizer
by
accident
in
the
recording
studio,
and
the
rest
is
history.

self-titled
debut

In
addition
to
Gary,
the
band
consisted
of
Paul
Gardiner
on
bass
and
backing
vocals
and
Jess
Lidyard
on
drums.
The
album
was
a
segue
from
the
punk-leaning
sounds
of
their
early
singles,
to
the
pioneering
electronic
music
that
Gary
Numan
became
known
for.
The
phrase
“garagey
sci-fi
rock”
was
used
in
reference
to
this
album.

Shortly
after
this
album’s
release,
Tubeway
Army
recorded
their
follow-up,
Replicas,
which
contained
“Are
‘Friends’
Electric?”,
which
became
the
first
synthesizer-based
number
1
hit
of
the
electronic
era
in
1979.
After
its
release,
Numan
opted
to
drop
the
Tubeway
Army
name
and
release
music
under
his
own
name,
retaining
the
musicians
from
Tubeway
Army
as
his
backing
band.
In
a
career
that
spans
over
forty
years,
Gary
Numan’s
music
evolves
and
the
themes
change.
But
fans
remain
fascinated
by
Numan
for
the
very
fact
that
he’s
so
uncompromising.
Gary
recently
released
his
twenty
first
album
Intruder
in
May
2021.
