Awesome just like their dad!!!

[@alisonkovacs9871]

So gorgeous both persia and raven

[@amlo0500]

I can only imagine the proud dad looking on and going 'they turned out ok didn't they?' - Brilliant !!

[@AkbarClone]

This would be a cool song to do a mash-up with NIN's "Copy of a Copy".

[@ElCharvo]

it's must be close to a copyright strike-good job daddy is mates with Trent.

[@kamalmichael]

Already downloaded it I was and still am Gary's huge fan and remember drawing a portrait of this amazing person in art class.

[@1967BIFF]

Can’t find it

[@thespartan8476]

Not that you’d know it though, both Raven and her sister Persia look like naturals on the stage. Mean and moody with smiles in short supply, Persia in particular, attitude turned up to 11. There is little movement throughout the set, although, as mentioned, there is actually very little room to move. The songs are Numanesque in nature but with the hard edges removed. This is the first time I’ve heard these songs so it would be wrong to judge on a live performance as all of the subtleties and nuances are lost, however, there are definitely some interesting twists and turns that warrant a deeper look when the recorded material is released. Raven’s vocals are strong, she is obviously quite an accomplished singer and some of the song titles themselves give a pretty good idea of the lyrical content - Children Of The Bad Revolution, Here for Me and Pretty When I’m Hurt. It is quite a short 9 song set, well received by the packed venue with the odd cry of “Raven!” coming form the darkness. There’s no doubt though that everyone in the venue is waiting for the major event of the evening……

[@jacqueshughes3085]

Crap vocals and no stage presence.

[@ShorrockPeter]

Great show good luck amazing talent❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stevecorneliussen6312]

Good work GARY .....

[@monotion83]

Wow, big compliment! She's great! 😮

[@pasha12202]

Holy cow they ROCK

[@chrisrice963]

Stunning girls.. Wicked tune

[@rakeshpopat8851]

Raven you are the best female artist 2024

[@Maliceuk]

Its great that they have their dad`s support.

[@williamblack7400]

Fantastic really good mind blowing excellent ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@preusemare]

Is there a "copy of a copy of a" vibe here or is it just my idea? No complain at all anyway, what we are viewing is a very promising future for the music we live so much.

[@peterboda1737]

I was thinking Less Than but ye, not a bad thing sounds good

[@clcnoize]

Yo its Cleary inspired by "copy of a copy", anyway cool song ✌️

[@oxynitrate]

Funny how their dad inspired that song and everything Trent Reznor has done and how it has come full circle. It gives me hope.

[@odnan1979]

No importa que en algo se parezca. Disfruten el espíritu.

[@tito0971]

Good song and good performance. Greetings from Argentina.

[@glennturnbull5652]

I'm getting in my head Goldfrapp, Signed Sigue and Depeche Mode. Quite good 👍

[@kamalmichael]

What a family story. Made my day. Gary has always been awesome. His Kids should really make more upbeat songs like this.

[@helenf.glover7403]

I felt the same way! This really warms my heart!❤

[@grimlightwildoutdoors]

Going to be massive when worked the kinks out you will see 👍❤️❤️ awesome

[@jamescadger3302]

That was absolutely brilliant love the sound just like her dad

[@nigelgoodwin5094]

Love this! Great voices. Love the stage presence.

[@phoenixmotorsport647]

Bloody hell they are good. Must be a family trait!!

[@donnadavies4630]

Omg no words ❤❤❤❤ absolutely fantastic ❤

[@1967BIFF]

😮 loving this by the way

[@rakeshpopat8188]

Amazing.

[@distortech2]

Love this!

[@MickPsyphon]

I love their sound! I mean the whole thing: vocals + band. They have a very retro sound to them, yet ultra modern at the same time. I'd love to hear some studio recordings from them.

[@user-oh6fg5vr7v]

Brilliant tune but would love to hear it outwith the live version as it's definitely my vibe ❤

[@kevcatnip7589]

Awesome

[@jeffbelcher5877]

All you knockers if you are any good get up there and do it yourselves Go luck to them.

[@donnadavies4630]

My nephew is 10 and a fan of Mr Gary Numan 💙

[@paulbishop1590]

Nothing special as you'd expect from such a young person just starting out. But most of the comments on here are completely over the top. Probably fueled by the fact of wanting to big up anything Numan related.

[@theonlywinner]

Love this one. Anybody know the words? If yes, please post them.

[@marcgj123]

Love the lighting at 4:15. Sort of black & white, except for Persia's hair.

[@ttllymxico]

Omg Why is that Generation imitating EVERYTHING how we grew up ?

[@rakeshpopat8188]

Brilliant. Gary numan should do similar tunes.

[@waynedunn1108]

This girl sure is her dad's daughter raven is top shit like Garry ❤❤❤ Sydney Australia 🦘🦘🦘 4/2/2024😮

[@waynedunn1108]

Didn't realise when I wrote my comments he had 2 daughters . Persia as well . He chose cool names for both daughters both girls are cool 😎 & top shit like Gazza Sydney Australia 🦘🦘🦘 5/2)2024

[@pepperpod2022]

Is that Paris as well

[@nglimer]

It's Persia with Raven

[@lgd1974]

Raven looks a bit stiff, but that is inexperience. She'll get better as she does more shows and feels more confident. It is awesome her younger sister Persia is there too. Raven takes after her father, Persia looks like her mom Gemma.

[@acb9896]

Fook me...is that little Persia? Gaz has to be a proud popa to have these lovely girls carrying on. Jealous as a sinner right now, mate.

[@nglimer]

Yes Persia :)

[@Wonky4925]

Not for me, but good luck!

[@williamboulby1461]

Good luck to them, not that impressed so far, but they could develop further.

[@CatoMinor]

Similar to "Copy of A" by NIN, but still good. I liked more other tracks anyway like "Here for me".

[@clcnoize]

Its Raven and Persia ?

[@nglimer]

yes it is

[@floodland3]

Sky Ferreira - “Hold my beer.”

[@lippylennnox]

@floodland3 Yep thats who they are copying.

[@johnwalter6410]

If you're gonna clap, at least clap, with with the tempo

[@antminehead]

Could they look more bored?

[@ramsey6681]

This made me wonder what it would've been like if Hendrix had two daughters - and one of them played the only two chords she could be vaguely arsed to learn badly while the other one just held her guitar lead. To be clear, I'm saying they're absolutely shite. This Emperor has no clothes on. You wouldn't watch them in a pub if they were wearing jeans and t-shirts (the outfits they wear here being 90% of their 'draw'. The other 10% being who their Dad is) because without the huge amount of professional equipment and personnel they'd sound worse than Doris from number 43 doing, "Shaddapa You Face".

[@piercollis6416]

Shame they aren't wearing any trousers

[@johnyasmin13]

Sadly the music industry isn't for them? It's maybe okay for film track's but thats about it I think but good luck to them though. 😊

[@oliviaomegalul9296]

Never before have so many people looked so out of place and yet meant nothing by it.

[@KalvinMauveMusic]

the fast food of music

[@adebrown1355]

Awful

[@bc-mr1si]

I've had a better afternoon in the dentists chair 😃

[@finlaybiddlesden2426]

No stage presence

[@lippylennnox]

They took the chorus a little bit from fade to grey, but any bedroom musician could knock this up in 5 minutes. It's not a good idea to be the support on their father's Tour because they haven't earned it at all. Actually, it's an insult to the Fans that deserve a superb support band, not two socially spoiled, bored looking mannequins that wouldn't look out of place in an Anne Summer's shopfront, remember Tickets are NOT cheap.

[@liamodriscoll571]

Good point not sure what to make of it then again Numan fans will lap up anything connected to him

[@jacqueshughes3085]

Crap/average music and really weak vocals, but I'm sure that it gets quite packed at the front.

[@DarylKent-z8m]

Awesome...I was there on the last night and they did a great set, better than that regurgitated tripe you here now days. Keep going ladies, your gonna do good.

[@nicovanrompaye5844]

To me it sounds like Numan meets PJ Harvey

[@stevewebb7126]

Im guessing most of the audience are old Numan fans 🤔 Quite an odd situation for them , oh well at least they dressed accordingly. The music is the typical mono tonal , repetitive , no catchy chorus we come to expect today .

[@ktreier]

Sorry, but I would not be OK with my Daughters appearing dressed like that. It’s a distraction meant to shift focus off their talent.

[@NigelLawrence-z1j]

Yes. You. Hear. Her. Dad. Voice in hers😊

[@MrSpiderToYou]

This has a real "CURVE" feel to it, brilliant, we need a proper studio version now.

[@sisiam3268]

Thanks i couldn't quite put my finger on what it reminded off

[@Moved2NewPh0ne]

They are amazing ! 😊 They will go down in history just like their father.

[@revengefullobster4524]

Sounds good! Definitely looking forward to more from her.

[@lfo2vco]

If I’m not mistaken that’s Ade Fenton on keyboards.

[@nglimer]

correct - it's Ade :)

[@darkspy666]

Sorry but that was painful to both watch and listen to.

[@ralfhenke8148]

I quite like that.

[@8jaime8]

Good song, but the girls look terrified about being on stage.

[@raven_glass]

Never seen two singers who looked so bored performing their own music....

[@outpost31737]

Well I'd be bored if I made rubbish like that.

[@paulpisters668]

Yeah, they definitely should do something about that look.

[@lancegfoin9117]

I think it used to be called "moody" 😂

[@Mitch_NZ]

Could be nerves as well. Raven’s first time as a solo artist on stage.

[@lippylennnox]

@Ravenglass This is the exact attitude of wealthy California middle-class kids, they are called Frat Brats, kids that are spoiled and never had to work a day in their lives and get everything handed to them. I know the area where Gary Lives very well, as my brother lives there.(Northridge) Gary pays for everything private schools, Maids, house cleaners, Gardner's, security, model agencies, and Singing lessons, Gemma is exactly the same, she never worked a day in her life!

[@witchfindergeneral2504]

What’s with the constant playing with the ear piece. This is awful to me, but if people see something different I really wish I could. The guitarist is quite good. He should be in a metal band. This song is a total rip of copy of a copy.

[@Wonky4925]

I listened. Can't get into it. Good luck to Raven though.

[@user-TrumpsToaste]

What a babe Persia is
