Garry Cockbain was born on May 16th 1966 in Bedford, England. After meeting Brian in 1985 at college in Manchester, they started recording Electronic music, but Gaz always had a love for more guitar-based indie bands of the time. When the band became more successful, he changed his name to Cobain (pronounced the same, less embarrassing spelling), although in the past he has been credited as Gaz Co-bain and Coby. During the early Kiss FM Transmissions he spoke under the guise of Cyberface. Generally the "voice and face of FSOL", during later interviews he did most of the speaking, if not being alone in the interview. He also does all the band's DJing. Gaz is the acoustic guitarist and singer on The Isness.
