To celebrate the recent reissue and 30th anniversary of his landmark album The Pleasure Principle, New Wave/synth pop/electronic music icon GARY NUMAN has announced The Pleasure Principle 2010 Tour and will be coming to Pontiac, MI at The Crofoot Ballroom on Monday, October 25, where the modern music star will perform the album in its entirety.
The Pleasure Principle climbed into the Top 20 on the U.S. charts 30 years ago propelled by the unforgettable Top 10 single “Cars.” The album’s impact was crystallized in the U.S. when NUMAN performed “Cars” and “Praying to the Aliens” to millions of people on Saturday Night Live. The music from The Pleasure Principle gave birth to new musical movements in the States over the next decade, including hip-hop, industrial and techno. Outside of The Pleasure Principle, the tour will feature material spanning across NUMAN’s career, including tracks from his forthcoming album Splinter which he's currently working on in the U.K.
In anticipation of the tour’s launch, NUMAN is giving fans an early preview of what to expect by posting new live tracks of “Asylum,” “Cars” and “Halo” on his MySpace page: www.myspace.com/garynuman. Fans can also catch an early glimpse of the “The Pleasure Principle Live Tour” from the U.K. clip here: www.youtube.com/garynumanofficial. The track “Haunted” is from GARY’s most recent studio album Jagged (Metropolis, 2006). The Pleasure Principle Live CD and DVD—recorded live during GARY’s U.K. trek—will be available at GARY’s fall shows.

In video news, GARY NUMAN’s Mortal Records label will release The Touring Principle ’79, a DVD of his first ever U.K. solo tour in 1979. Due out on November 30, the DVD marks the transformation of electronic music from the underground into massive international success. From his towers of white light to the icy synthesizers, everything in NUMAN’s 1979 show was designed to be powerful, atmospheric and unique. The Touring Principle ’79 will be available in the U.S. via import and at: www.darla.com.
