New Wave City "New Romantic" is a term applied by the music press as a catch-all name for the dressed-up, make-up wearing pop bands of the early eighties, and applied to the scene that emerged out of a West End London clubnight called "Billy's - A Club For Heroes". Started by Steve Strange in 1978 at a small venue called Gossips, then later at a nightclub called "the Blitz". The theme of the club was glammy extreme dressing, and DJ Rusty Egan played tracks by Bowie, Roxy Music, Kraftwerk, Chic and lots of electronic dance music. Steve Strange worked as the doorman and developed a notorious reputation for turning away anyone whose appearance wasn't up to standard. Strange and Egan formed Visage, who had a Top 10 hit with “Fade to Grey.”
