Electro 80s Night - Liquid Engineers ( Gary Numan Tribute) & Depeche Mode Experience UK

Dates: 11 Aug 2023 - 11 Aug 2023

Location: The Continental pub - South Meadow Lane - Preston

If David Bowie was the art rock of his time then Gary Numan is, and remains the electronic pop pioneer of the modern age.

Numan experienced a peak in commercial success during the late 70’s and early 80’s when he emerged on the scene as the punk genre was fading.

His two notable hits from that period were ‘Are Friends’ Electric?’ and ‘Cars’ (both of which reached number one of the UK singles chart)

‘Cars’ was actually his debut single released on 21st August 1979 and was taken from his first record ‘The Pleasure Principle’.

Let’s remind ourselves of that song with a youthful Numan in the following music video -
