Pioneers of the New Romantic movement, the synth-pop group Visage emerged in 1978 from the London club Blitz. Spearheading Blitz's ultra-chic clientele were Steve Strange and DJ Rusty Egan. Seeking to record music of their own to fit in with the club's regular playlist, Strange and Egan were offered studio time by guitarist Midge Ure. In late 1978, this trio recorded a demo which yielded the first Visage single.

Adding Ultravox keyboardist Billy Currie as well as three members of Magazine -- bassist Barry Adamson, guitarist John McGeoch, and keyboardist Dave Formula -- Visage signed to Martin Rushent's Genetic Records to release "Tar," in September of 1979, followed a year later by their self-titled debut LP. The album yielded a major single in "Fade To Grey," an instant club classic which heralded synth-pop's imminent commercial breakthrough.

In 2013, Visage returned with the line-up of Steve Strange and Steve Barnacle, with new members Robin Simon (ex-Ultravox guitarist) and Lauren Duvall (on vocals). Tragically, Steve Strange passed away on February 12th, 2015.
