Marc from the band Massive Ego has just reported the death of his friend and collaborator, the visually striking artist and musician known as Steady.
I first saw him onstage in the mid 90s, when he played guitar for the band Minty, caked in make-up, floppy side-parting, red soldier’s jacket. Later I witnessed him performing with Sexton Ming, on the same bill as Fosca, his face and body covered in bandages. He was also in the equally colourful bands Elizabeth Bunny and Sweetie. Certainly one of London’s Leigh-Bowery-esqe Nu-Superstars. Though I never properly got to know him, I thoroughly approved of him.
