BIOGRAPHY:

Great vocalist, she appears in countless albums.

---

NEW TRENDS

---

Born in Zambia, one of her first bands was New Trends, in the late 60s, still using the name Stevie Van Kerken.

NEW TRENDS #?	Period unknown to me
Stevie Lange vocals	Alan Goodwin	John Edmond vocals, guitar

The band parted ways in 1969, and Stevie released a solo single, ´Smokey blues away'.

---

HOCUS

---

Another band she joined was Hocus. During that period, she married producer Robert John ´Mutt´ Lange, and they together established in England.

---

BONES

---

Next band by Stevie was Bones, but I don't have more details. Help, please!

---

ELTON JOHN BAND

---

For his 1977 tour, Elton John used his friends from the band China, plus additional musicians, to form a magnificent combo:

FILTHY MCNASTY

---

Filthy McNasty was a parallel band formed by great singer Chris Thompson (who was lead vocalist in Manfred Mann Earth Band at that time). Some of the members also played in other bands (Geoff Whitehorn was still a member of Crawler).

êElton John Band	êElton John Band	êCrawler
Chris Thompson vocals	Stevie Lange vocals, percussion	Geoff Whitehorn guitar	Billy Kristian bass	Mike Walker keyboards	Clive Edwards drums

In April 1978, they played at The Bridge House, Canning Town, London. It was released a collective live album, Live: a week at the Bridge E16, shared with several more bands: Jackie Lynton's Happy Days, Gerry McAvoy Jam, Salt, Remus Down Boulevard and Roll Ups. Filthy McNasty are featured in 3 tracks.

The band even recorded a live album at The Marquee, which sadly still remains unreleased.

Filthy McNasty evolved quickly into Night in November 1978 (with Chris Thompson, Stevie Lange and Billy Kristian), with Robbie McIntosh instead of Geoff.

---

NIGHT

---

This band evolved quickly into Night in November 1978 (with Chris Thompson, Stevie Lange and Billy Kristian), with Robbie McIntosh instead of Geoff Whitehorn. The first lineup included keyboardist Derek Austin, but he soon left.

NIGHT #
êFilthy McNasty	êFilthy McNasty		êFilthy McNasty

They released an eponymous album, Night. In November 1979, they change the lineup:

NIGHT #				Nov 79-Dec 80
Chris Thompson vocals	Stevie Lange vocals	Robbie McIntosh guitar, vocals	Billy Kristian bass	Bobby Wright keyboards	Bobby Guidotti drums
Chris Thompson Bandê

A 2nd album was released, Long distance. They split due to lack of success in December 1980, when Chris Thompson started his new venture, Chris Thompson & The Islands.

---

JAMES LAST ORCHESTRA

---

Around 1982, she started singing in James Last Orchestra, along with other great vocalists, such as Vicki Brown.

---

And then...

---

I guess that since then, she hasn't belonged to a band, only singing in studio sessions (many of them, produced by Pip Williams). But she also appears from time to time with The SAS Band (the band assembled by keyboardist Spike Edney. Watch my pages on Neil Murray or Cozy Powell for more info on this band).

Steve has only released a solo album, but under the name Stevie Vann.

She also appears in a collective, benefit album called Earthrise. Apart from artists such as U2, Paul McCartney, Julian Lennon, there is a track called 'Yes we can', sang by Artists United for Nature (featuring Stevie Lange along with Chris Thompson, Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Joe Cocker, Herbie Hancock, Chaka Khan, Brian May, Michael McDonald, Maggie Reilly, Jennifer Rush, Sandra, and others). Other artists appearing in other tracks: David Gilmour, Sam Brown, Big Country, Andy Fairweather-Low or Pink Floyd.
