Tubeway Army - Line-up

Line-up

The only constant members were:

• Gary Numan (also known as "Valerian"; birth name Gary Anthony James Webb) – vocals, guitar, keyboards/synthesizers
• Paul Gardiner (also known as "Scarlett") – bass guitar, occasional backing vocals

Other musicians included:

• Jess Lidyard (also known as "Rael"; Webb's uncle) – drums (part-time 1976, and 1978/1979, including "That's Too Bad" single, Tubeway Army and Replicas sessions)
• Bob Simmonds – drums (late-1977/early-1978)
• Barry Benn – drums (mid-1978, including "Bombers" single)
• Sean Burke – guitar (mid-1978, including "Bombers" single)

Numan was the driving force of the band, writing the material and producing the recordings. Subsequent albums were issued under his own name once the album Replicas became successful. Gardiner, Sharpley, and Payne continued as his backing band for some years. Gardiner died from a drug overdose in February 1984. Numan's personal tribute to his former cohort was the song "A Child with the Ghost", on the album Berserker (1984).
