Rusty Egan: The Autobiography | Rusty Egan

His career began in the music industry as a runner at DJM studios, followed by a stint at WEA Records. Rusty collaborated with former SEX PISTOLS MEMBER GLEN MATLOCK, alongside STEVE NEW and MIDGE URE, to establish the new wave band
RICH KIDS. During the Rich Kids tours, Rusty met STEVE STRANGE.
This encounter led to Rusty's concept for a club night at BILLY'S, A SOHO VENUE, catering to fashionable punks and showcasing the music they were passionate about. In 1979, they moved their club night to the BLITZ in COVENT GARDEN. Here Rusty played a PIVOTAL ROLE in introducing BRITISH, GERMAN, AND JAPANESE ELECTRONICA to the British club scene, essentially CURATING THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE BURGEONING NEW ROMANTIC MOVEMENT.

Rusty Egan was instrumental in the formation of the band VISAGE with Midge Ure. Steve Strange joined them as the frontman and the lineup was completed by BILLY CURRIE, JOHN MCGEOCH, DAVE FORMULA AND BARRY ADAMSON all from the band
MAGAZINE.

Rusty co-founded the incredibly popular CAMDEN PALACE NIGHTCLUB in London with Steve Strange, where he continued to champion and shape the development of electronica in the UK. He owned Trident studios for a while where he also established METROPOLIS MUSIC, a publishing and production company, allowing him to create music as well as perform it.
