- Rusty Egan (born 19 September 1957, London) was the drummer for the British new wave band, The Rich Kids. They were founded by former Sex Pistol, Glen Matlock, bass guitarist and backing vocals, occasional lead vocals; with Steve New guitarist and backing vocals, occasional lead vocals; and fronted by Midge Ure guitarist, lead vocals and occasional backing vocals, and keyboards player, from their inception in March 1977 to their disbanding in December 1978. He continued working with Ure, and later collaborated with The Misfits, The Skids, Shock, and Visage. However, Egan did not return to Visage for its reunion at the end of the 1990s. He was the DJ at Blitz, the influential New Romantic nightclub in London where he worked with Steve Strange from 1979 until 1981. Whilst there, he introduced Germany's, the Japanese and British electronica/synthpop to the British club scene, almost single-handedly putting together the soundtrack for the New Romantic movement. Egan also owned The Cage, a New Romantic record store on London's King's Road. As the club grew in popularity, Egan began to be recognised as a central figure in London's nightlife. In 1982, he opened up the Camden Palace nightclub in London, where he continued to spread and influence the development of electronica in the UK. For a time, he switched to producing records for many of the bands he used to DJ, including Spear of Destiny, Shock, Visage, and The Senate. Egan was later brought back into his career as a disc jockey by the allure of the internet as a medium for sharing music. Presently, he works as a DJ at the Boujis nightclub in London, playing and promoting 1980s style synthpop and electronica music. Originally, Richard James Burgess was Egan's drum teacher. On 13 June 2008, Egan appeared DJing at the 'Big Top', as part of the Isle of Wight Festival. Egan appeared alongside former Visage bandmate Steve Strange on makeover show Pop Goes the Band in early 2009 on Living. He had his teeth drastically reconstructed as part of his makeover.
- Rusty Egan era el baterista de diversos grupos de punk rock y new wave. Tocó para The Rich Kids, The Skids, The Misfits y Visage. Nació el 19 de septiembre de 1957. Criado en una familia de músicos, al parecer de origen o ascendencia irlandesa, se influenció por la orquesta que dirigía su padre. Sin embargo, no le atrajo el estilo musical del grupo y no quiso saber nada de él. Antes de ser insertado en Rich Kids por Glen Matlock, el bajista de Sex Pistols, trabajaba como repartidor en una compañía de la Warner. Estuvo desde marzo de 1977 hasta diciembre de 1978 en esa banda, al lado de Matlock, Steve New y Midge Ure. Continuó con Ure en Misfits, The Skids y Visage. De 1979 a 1981 fue DJ de Blitz, el nightclub new romantic de Londres donde estuvieron inmersos Steve Strange, Boy George, Sade, Marylin, Spandau Ballet y otros. Allí ponía música de géneros en boga como las olas de synthpop, electrónica y del nuevo romanticismo (o sea new romantic) alemanas (Kraftwerk), japonesas (Yellow Magic Orchestra) y británica (Brian Eno, Ultravox, Landscape, Japan, etc.). Como este club se fue volviendo más popular, Egan fue siendo reconocido como la figura central de la escena nocturna londinense. También fue propietario de The Cage, una tienda de discos new romantic en el London King's Road
- Rusty Egan, född 19 september 1957, var trummis i det brittiska New Wave-bandet The Rich Kids, från starten i mars 1977 till splittrandet i december 1978. Egan fortsatte att arbeta med Ure, och blev senare medlem i grupperna The Misfits, The Skids och Visage. Han återvände inte till Visage för deras återförening i slutet på 1990-talet. Mellan 1979 och 1981 var Egan även DJ på den inflytelserika nattklubben Blitz med New romantic-musik i London. Där introducerade han tysk, japansk och brittisk elektro/synthpop för den brittiska klubbscenen, och satte nästan helt på egen hand ramen för New romantic-rörelsen. Han ägde också The Cage, en skivaffär med new romantic-musik i King's Road i London. Allteftersom Blitz växte i popularitet blev Egan känd som en viktig person i Londons nattliv. 1982 startade han den idag välkända Camden Palace i London, där han fortsatte att sprida och influera utvecklingen av elektromusik i Storbritannien. Ett tag producerade han skivorna till många av de band han brukade använda som DJ, t. ex. Spear of Destiny, Visage och The Senate. För närvarande arbetar han som DJ på nattklubben Boujis i London, där han spelar och promotar 1980-talsinspirerade synthpop- och elektromusik.
