TRAILER: Visage's Orchestral

From Visage frontman Steve Strange:

Founding fathers of the New Romantics and pioneers of the 80s sound Visage, return with a new album “Orchestral” in Winter 2014. In March 2014 Visage were asked to perform at the closing ceremony of the World Ski Jumping Championships in Prague. Sensing an opportunity for grandeur, Steve Strange – the illustrious leader of Visage – joined forces with the Czech Synthosymphonica Orchestra. Headed by Armin Effenberger, their speciality is mixing classical music arrangements and full orchestras with classic synthesizer sounds.

RELATED: Former Visage member Midge Ure co-wrote and produced the mammoth (and for many, cringe-inducing) 1984 charity singe, Do They Know It's Christmas, which will be re-recorded this weekend by Bono, Chris Martin, One Direction, and others as a benefit for ebola relief. With sales of over 12M copies, the original is among the twenty greatest-selling singles of all time.

One of the most famous groups of the early 80s New Romantic period releases their first new album in almost 30 years on May 6th.  The first single is OK, but it's no Fade To Grey. This promo clip provides a convenient scrolling biography of the band.
