NUMB is the brainchild of Don Gordon after his previous musical adventures in Pin-ups, Images In... Vogue (also starring drummer Kevin Crompton a.k.a. Skinny Puppy's cEvin Key) and Proof By Nine. Co-founded with Sean Stubbs and David Hall the band started in 1986 as an art project designed to address issues of social desensitization, releasing their first limited edition cassette “Blue Light” in 1987.
Their debut selftitled LP came out the same year , a terrifying assortment of emotional assaults: confusion, anger, and alienation taking musical forms and ravaging the senses. Sean Stubbs/Sean St. Hubbs was the first lead vocalist for NUMB, during the 90's he played drums on several subsequent tours in Europe and the U.S. Christmeister, released in 1989, took a much more aggressive stance than their debut. With their electronic approach being augmented by aggressive guitars and lyrics spewed forth in a torrent of tuneful howls from madman Blair Dobson ripped apart the emotional stability of its listeners.
1994 saw the release of “Wasted Sky”, a post-apocalyptic vision of technology as religion, of truth as virtual reality. The band released “Blood Meridian” in late 1997: a collection of primal dance fury, pure electronics sans guitar, electronica with attitude; and followed it up the following year with “Language Of Silence”, a CD guaranteed to fill dance floors with new and old fans, all the while keeping the mediocrity of mainstream techno at bay with its uncompromising harshness and brilliant arrangements.
In 2000 Don put Numb on non-active and moved to Vietnam.
