The best songs from Visage including 'Fading To Grey' recorded during their thirteen date 2013 'Hearts and Knives' tour.2012 saw the 'Hearts and Knives' comeback release by Visage. After a 28 year absence the UK synthpop pioneers had a hit album once more. Frontman Steve Strange was back on top, appearing in a series of TV and radio appearances and even fronting a 'for one night only' Blitz Club. Visage had until that point in time been a 'studio band' and (aside from a few TV appearances with the vocal mic turned on) had never performed with a full band. Tasked with the challenge of putting together a full live show to support their hit album, long-time Visage collaborator Steve 'Barney' Barnacle was tasked with the challenge. Barney over the years has been a top session musician and played in many bands, including a stint as the bass player in later day Queen.Robin Simon (ex Ultravox) and Synth player Logan Sky from Visage laid down their parts immaculately. Drummer friend of Barney Johnny Marter was recruited for live drum duties. The resulting powerful live sound presented the perfect backdrop for vocalists Steve Strange and Lauren Duvall to deliver the Visage hits old and new. The Live CD captures the best moments from the thirteen date 2013 tour. The physical CD version includes banter and chat from lead man Steve Strange and the crowd, whilst the digital release focuses purely on the music with no interruptions. Show more
