Retro Saturday: Visage

Kicking off with something in a New Romantic style :)

Visage was fronted by Steve Strange, a man who was no stranger to make-up I suppose. Their most famous hit was "Fade to Grey" http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cznha2YTTh0 but it didn't end there and I was particularly fond of some of their later material such as "Pleasure Boys" which was quite electro-tastic. The video is really just Steve Strange on a motorbike: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=lfz5HOdZo1A

By 1982 they were still around. Here is a Top of the Pops performance of "Night Train": http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tQzIIvmPFEA and let's have "The Damned Don't Cry" as well: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e_s-RQDC2xA
