Work with Fish[edit]

Steve has also performed hundreds of gigs around the world during his time in the band. On the Fish albums '13th Star' and 'Feast of Consequences' he was Fish's main songwriting collaborator, writing and arranging most of the music.
Tilt[edit]
In 2009, Vantsis formed the band "Tilt" whose nucleus consists of himself (bass, guitars, keys, loops, programming), Robin Boult (guitars) and Dave Stewart (drums, percussion). Tilt's first release, the EP Million Dollar Wound, also featured John Wesley, Frank Usher, Irvin Duguid, all of whom have also been working with Fish and/or Marillion at some point, and vocalists Holly Tomas, Paul Dourley and Kaela Rowan.[1]
