They began organising “Bowie nights” on Tuesdays at Billy’s club in Soho, before taking over Tuesdays at the Blitz wine bar in London’s Covent Garden in 1979. Adhering to Strange’s strict door policy of admitting only “the weird and wonderful”, the club took off and became an essential location in the rise of what would become the New Romantic movement. Strange’s door policy was so strict that he famously once refused admittance to Mick Jagger, though Strange would later claim this was because the club was filled to capacity on the night in question and they had already been warned about breaching fire regulations. Following the Blitz, Strange and Egan then fronted the “Club for Heroes” in London’s Baker Street on Tuesdays and Thursdays in 1981, before moving to the Camden Palace nightclub in 1982 for two years, which became one of the most famous venues of the era, attracting major celebrities on a regular basis.
