Electro Classic Jukebox: Visage.


Visage, sprouting from London's Soho district in 1978, was at the forefront of the New Wave during the heyday of the post-punk movement. Consisting of Steve Strange, Rusty Egan, and Ultravox's Midge Ure and Billie Currie, alongside Magazine's John McGeoch and Dave Formula, it can be safely said that Visage was certainly the "supergroup" of their time and genre. From 1980, here is their most popular single, "Fade To Grey." Check out the sexy French vocals in the background, courtesy of Brigitte Arendt from Luxembourg, who was dating Egan at the time!
