GARY TIBBS
Gary Tibbs (born 25 January 1958) is a bass guitarist and actor, who appeared (playing the part of bass guitarist, Dave) in the film Breaking Glass, alongside Hazel O’Connor. Tibbs was born in Northwood, London. He was a member of Adam and the Ants, and is mentioned by name in the lyrics of the band’s UK top ten hit “Ant Rap”. At various times he was a member of Code Blue, Roxy Music, The Vibrators and The Fixx. He played on the The Fixx’s 2003 album, Want That Life. (More from Wikipedia)
Dean Chamberlain was born in San Francisco and grew up in the nearby city of San Mateo. After the Motels (the original band that is) broke up, he ran an ad looking for other musicians; out of this, a trio called Skin was born in 1978 that also included Michael Ostendorf (bass) and Randall Marsh (drums). They started playing gigs in the L.A. area, and scouts for Warner Bros. Records signed them the day after they heard one of their shows. Ostendorf left the band, and after Gary Tibbs replaced him on bass, they changed their name to Code Blue, hospital-ese for a patient requiring immediate resuscitation.
The man who replaced Michael Ostendorf in Code Blue, Gary Tibbs was in a host of bands at one time or another, including Adam and the Ants, Roxy Music, the Vibrators, and (most recently) the Fixx, where he played on their 2003 album, Want that Life.
