Its been an amazing couple of years for Gary Numan, returning to form as a recording artist and back in the public gaze as one of the revered greats of Pop. Artrocker editor-in-chief Tom Artrocker has conducted a series of interviews with Gary since April 2012, discussing the past, present and future of the King of Synth. No stone is left unturned. Tom also spoke to co-producer Ade Fenton, members of Garys present band as well as former alumni, Garys merch man of many years.
For this App Artrocker commissioned photographer, and former male super-model Keith Martin to take a series of new photos of Gary, his crew and fans. The result is nearly 200 brand new, never before seen photos.
Embedded in the app are a dozen interview videos, on subjects as diverse as Cars and moving to the USA.
