Boy George  Steve Strange  Spandau Ballet  and Duran Duran were part of the scene whose fame began in the frilly shirt clubs of London  Birmingham  and Leeds. New Romantic was the breeding ground for a whole generation of musicians and writers  nightlife entrepreneurs and fashion designers  mass market stars and underground art figures. This witty and authoritative account traces the story of the New Romantics from the moment Steve Strange and Rusty Egan began their legendary Bowie Nights at Billys in Soho  through the move to Blitz  and the growth of the Birmingham scene  to the point where the pop groups it inspired began to spark up clubs and charts all over the world. Much more than a simple history of the Blitz Kids  it also looks at the influence on New Romantics  and the ways in which these were transformed in the crucible of club culture to become the key elements of the late 20th century mainstream.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45914059898933,"sku":"ByrdShop_0711993963","price":96.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780711993969.jpg?v=1787331998","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/new-romantics-the-look-9780711993969","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
