Biography by Jason AnkenyA guitarist who first found fame in the progressive-rock era only to later resurface as an ambient techno cult hero, Steve Hillage was born August 2, 1951. In 1967 he co-founded the group Uriel with bassist Mont Campbell, organist Dave Stewart and drummer Clive Brooks; the unit subsequently continued on as the trio Egg upon Hillage's 1968 departure for university. He did not return to music for another three years, reuniting with Stewart in 1971 in Khan, which recorded the 1972 prog-rock effort Space Shanty before soon splitting.
To get the constant confusion out of the way right off the bat, Dave Stewart the keyboardist/vocalist is not David A. Stewart, guitarist for the Eurythmics. This Dave Stewart is a legend in British progressive music circles, first as keyboardist for Egg, Hatfield and the North, and National Health, and then as half of a collaboration with his wife, Barbara Gaskin, which had surprising British chart success during the '80s synth pop era.
Dave Stewart was born in the Waterloo section of London on December 30, 1950. Something of a child prodigy on piano, he switched to electric guitar as a teenager, that being the instrument of choice in mid-'60s swinging London. He played guitar in his first local band, the Southsiders. But by 1967, when he formed the trio Uriel with his school friends Steve Hillage on guitar, Clive Brooks on drums, and Mont Campbell on bass and vocals, Stewart switched permanently back to keyboards. When Hillage left the group to attend university, the remaining trio changed their name to the suitably inscrutable Egg and signed with Decca's progressive subsidiary Deram in 1970. The trio recorded two albums for Deram, 1970's Egg and 1971's The Polite Force. Interestingly, an old session from the group's Uriel days with Hillage was released in 1970 under the name Arzachel, with false names and bios to avoid contractual difficulties with Decca; it's an album that now commands huge prices on the U.K. psychedelia market. (A third Egg album, The Civil Surface, was recorded for Virgin during a temporary reunion in 1974.)
