Writing, and now singing his own material Stevie Roberts of the UK Subs has emerged as a fully fledged performer in his own right with a fantastic stage presence and persona. Stevie Ze Suicide is the... King of NoiZE®
Stevie's first gig as a drummer was in a resident band in an hotel in Singapore at the age of 17, playing four or five hours a night, seven nights a week. Shortly after he returned to the UK he toured with American Soul legends James & Bobby Purify, playing drums on their UK tour.
By this time the Punk Explosion had happened and he joined York band Cyanide. They supported the UK Subs on one of their tours, and shortly afterwards he became a member of the legendary Punk band, playing drums on several albums - including their Top 20 discs 'Diminished Responsibility' and 'Endangered Species' - both of which went gold.
Two other bands he was in are Ligotage with Beki Bondage (Vice Squad), & Moho Pack with Enid Williams (Girlschool), and John McCoy (Gillan, GMT)
As a session drummer Stevie played on The Exploited's "Troops of Tomorrow", Captain Sensible's "Power of Love" (the track "Sir Donaldson"), deputized on drums for The Damned during one of their tours when Rat Scabies was unwell, and toured with Knox's (The Vibrators) Fallen Angels.
He was asked to play drums on Sinitta's "I Don't Believe in Miracles" video for TOTP, by her manager Simon Cowell (X-Factor). Stevie says he's a really nice bloke, a real gentleman and he enjoyed working for him; it was directed by Simon West (Lara Croft Tomb Raider). Stevie then appeared in a Sony Hi-Fi Ad for MTV, also directed by Simon West.
Inbetween being in bands and being a session drummer he worked for MGMM, helping to make video's for some of the biggest names in music (see "The Ze Suicide Diaries" on Classic Rock Magazine )
Stevie maintains if it wasn't for Charlie Harper's influence and encouragement, and his advice to never be afraid of yourself or your efforts, he wouldn't have taken up writing his own material.
