A passionate musician, Rusty first made a name for himself in the late 1970s as a drummer for the British New Wave band The Rich Kids (founded by former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock) with Midge Ure on lead guitar and vocals. He formed Visage with Midge Ure, fronted by Steve Strange, and he introduced Midge to Ultravox with both bands enjoying considerable success and fortune. During the recording and writing for Visage's 1980 debut album including the worldwide No 1 hit ˜Fade to Grey', Rusty joined Scotland's finest The Skids as drummer, recording and touring their second top ten album ˜Days in Europa' with Richard Jobson and Stuart Adamson (Big Country). He began his prominent DJ career at the Blitz Club (1979-1981), one of the most influential nightclubs in London in the 1980s, where he introduced German electronica to the British club scene.
