They've been pictured together for the first time in 16 years. The original line-up of Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor and Andy Taylor are set to release a new album and are planning a world tour in the northern summer. The band decided to reform in late 2001 and have since been working in the studio, writing and recording an album. The first ever Duran Duran singles box will go on sale on May 12 and feature a 13 CD collection spanning the early years through to Andy and Roger Taylor's departures in 1985.
Say what you will, but Duran Duran had some great songs on their first two albums. At that time, the band was a great mix of Chic-esque dance and new wave synths. However, their stuff became really awful after that.
Just if you are interested. Two of the former members have an actual album just put out. The band is called "the devils" and it sounds quite good. band: the devils actual album: dark circles ex duran duran members: s. duffy and n. rhodes web: www.thedevils.tv If someone has some questions about any bands (no friggin mainstream and plastic r&b) I should be able to help. have a nice day & watch your collarbones. later
Duran Duran performed at the Houston rodeo a couple of years ago. Nothing says target demographic than the rodeo.
Did Erasure perform in Houston yet? I heard they were doing a trip through Texas. Not that I was going to go...
It's a bit of a shame, because the guitarist they just had to kick out, Warren, was a pretty damn good picker.
So why did he get kicked out? (I can admit listening to Duran Duran. 1) I'm a girl, 2) I'm old enough to not have to be cool (married and all that, besides being a teacher, and 3) OK, I was never "cool" anyway. )
