Garry Cobain

Garry Cobain (sometimes styled as Gaz Cobain) was born in Bedford, England in 1966. He is one half of British electronic act The Future Sound of London. He currently resides in what he calls “…the Lake District of France.”

On the 2nd of April 2007 Garry Cobain posted a video[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DNtlDv4H9PQ] onto his Youtube account of him arguing with a lady at Speakers Corner in Hyde Park, London about God entitled “the GOD WARS - An Argument I Had At Speaker’s Corner”. It is edited in a humourous way by him with the intro title “COMIC BELIEF presents…”

Background
He left Bedford for Manchester in his late-teens to study at a time when alternative music in this part of Britain was taking off, the dance music scene in particular was becoming more and more popular, not just in Manchester but all over the country and in the States too; Cobain, drawn to the city by bands like The Chameleons and The Smiths, embraced this atmosphere and joined a band he had seen rehearsing in a studio and stayed with them for a year; after his spell with that band he met Brian Dougans.

After meeting Dougans they both started discussing their shared interest in electronic music and began to work together on small projects; Cobain then left the college to build his own studio on an Enterprise Allowance Course and he and Dougans began to release tracks under aliases such as Mental Cube and Art Science Technology, some of these early singles would be compiled onto the “Earthbeat” record of 1992.
