Rusty Egan was one of the architects of the New Romantic scene at the dawn of the 80s. He began his career as a drummer alongside Midge Ure and former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock in Rich Kids. Their self-titled debut single cracked the Top 30, but Egan and Ure went on to far greater success with Steve Strange in Visage where their big hit Fade To Grey helped to define the sound of synth-pop. Egan, meanwhile, found his true forte as the co-founder and DJ of Blitz, the London club where the sound and look of the New Romantics was born.
