  Steve Strange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Strange (born Steven John Harrington on May 28, 1959) is a British singer and pop icon, best remembered as an influential party promoter and as the frontman and lead singer for Visage.
Strange is often referred to as the "ultimate New Romantic," as his influence on the British club scene of the early 1980's and on synthesized music can still be seen today.
Strange later formed Strange Cruise with Wendy Wu after Visage's dissolution, although this, too, proved to be short-lived.

Steve Strange was such a brilliant and odd fellow that people sometimes get distracted by his strange attire and forget the amazing music that he wrote for this ground breaking band.
The tracks are an eclectic mix of synth music with Strange's vocals over the top, and instrumentals such as "The Dancer" with a beat that could almost pass for some of the glam rock tunes of the decade before.
Steve Strange was and is a very ecentric fellow and he was as much know for his clothes as hit music.

Let's forget Steve Strange once and for all - then - as a dandy: he's too conventional for the role - too keen on the economic status quo and eager to become part of the chic establishment of international jet-setters.
As for comparing Strange to his peers - those New Romantics who made promises about "white European dance music" - well he's streets ahead of them and especially the ludicrous proposition which is Spandau's latest work.
Here the Strange voice is very much part of the musical parcel - for what else is it but a mellifluous whine - capable of only a couple of emotions and even more of the luxury of feeling next to nothing?

 Visage, Fade To Grey, Steve Strange
DJ Rusty Egan and Steve Strange provided the setting for a mixture of art students, hairdressers and fashion designers to become precursors for the New Romantic movement which defined the next style in music - a cross between the emerging New Wave (Ultravox, Gary Numan, etc.) and an escape from the reactionary image of punk.
Three factors contributed to the success of the club: the music was sophisticated and danceable (Roxy Music, Kraftwerk, Human League and David Bowie), there was no violence, and the participants ultra-chic appearance.

For a nanosecond in the early 1980s he was the most fashionable man on the planet; the driving force behind of the legendary Billy's and Blitz clubs and the "singer" with electro pop pioneers Visage.

 TrouserPress.com :: Visage
Formed around cult-figure fop Steve Strange (Harrington), Visage began as a part-time group uniting the formidable talents of Ultravox's Midge Ure and Billy Currie, Dave Formula and John McGeoch (both then in Magazine) and ex-Rich Kid drummer Rusty Egan for the ultimate in dance-oriented new romanticism.
Continuing their dance-geared version of Heaven 17-styled electro-funk, Beat Boy finds Visage (comprising, this time, Strange and Egan joined by the Barnacle brothers and Andy Barnett) readier to rock, using plentiful guitar on the endless title track (and elsewhere) to color the inexorable rhythms and repetitious, vapid lyrics.
When last heard of, Strange had formed Strange Cruise with Wendy Wu, ex-lead singer of the Photos, and released an eponymous album.
