This is not your mother's Gary Numan | The Crofoot, Pontiac MI by LAWRENCECREATIVE

I tend to speak through the pixels that I steal since too oftentimes words fail to express what I want to put across. In the case of attending the Gary Numan 'Splinter Tour' Show at The Crofoot last Friday, it still holds true. The night started out with Roman Remains, an ass-kicking Bjork-esque beauty whom I fell in love with, continued with Big Black Delta, a space-techno-muther-effer with major stage presence and culminated with the arrival of Gary Numan. And NOT the Gary Numan that you're mother had a crush on as a young girl seeing him for the first time on Saturday Night Live. This Gary Numan is less about the androgenous character he portrayed for so many years and more about the multi-layered, industrialist that he has created with his newest CD, 'Splinter'. So much so that during the entire set, he is almost hidden entirely in the shadows of the stage lighting while dancing around. The focus is the atmosphere he creates...the tracks...the music. It simply blew everyone away...me included.
