Coachella Countdown: Gary Numan (17 Days)

No, not Paul Numan. Gary Numan, and he plays something called a Polymoog. He's the 80's synth pioneer that's he's been praised by the Who's Who of contemporary music as a major influence. The 52-year-old is a UK native whose biggest chart success was 1980's Cars. New wave, industrial, synth-pop, it's all in the mix. He's performing Friday at Coachella, and it will be interesting to see how Numan is holding up these days. If he's on point though, we're in for a great time. Oh and he's a pilot that's licensed to teach aerial acrobatics. Check out some songs below.
