Here was the Duran Duran review I gave within my Lovebox Festival review from http://popnylon.blogspot.com/Duran Duran's set was slightly shorter than two nights prior due to sharing the bill with the other acts. Simon Le Bon comes out wearing a top hat and Nick Rhodes had his walking stick due to a leg injury(They reminded me of Charles Dicken's characters). The opening song was "Wild Boys"

Blog via popnylon.blogspot.com and dynamicduodurans.blogspot.com: While hesitating to go to the dentist, I started to think about going to see Duran Duran this summer in London. Then, I started trying to approximate how many shows I've gone to and then had to start a list. Finally, a blog that is totally fun and crazy at the same time without much self-reflection....hopefully.The list will be

May 30st 2008 Photo By Cupcakethecat (thank you)What was I thinking? I attended the first night of two central park Duran Duran shows (the one where it didn't rain). Unfortunately, I didn't think I could enjoy the concert holding on to a camera. I also thought I wouldn't get close enough since I arrived late, but then I found myself looking away from Anna Ross and John Taylor(no offense) because

Not able to attend this show but "The Chauffeur" was added as a surprise in the setlist(which had been removed the night before). Another clip with more Nick can be seen at the end of this page, but this clear copy is mostly of Simon(no arguments here, just sayin')

Review and Pictures by Meredith EvonneSpring has sprung, as Duran Duran are heading toward the end of their 2008 US Tour this May. On May 22nd, I had planned a day trip to see them for the Mann Center appearance in Philadelphia. Luckily, I had a friend with a driver's license and a car to avoid my usual hassles of out-of-state Duran pilgrimages. Truth be told, I've learned to limit going to

2008 has started off more promotional push for Red Carpet Massacre, which was released the last time an entry was updated in this blog. The band made radio station appearances and exclusive "accoustic cafe" performances. However, they seemed to have to rotate band members and bring guitarist Dom Brown along, due to common seasonal illnesses. The jury is still out if Simon has become the latest

Too Bloody FashionableRed Carpet Massacre-Duran Duranby Meredith EvonneDuran Duran have a love/hate relationship in the press, the critics love to give them bad album reviews that are peppered with underlying complements. Often, it seems that admitting the band has hit a modern high note would contradict the urge to complain they never left the 80s. More often than not, they will opt to mention a

In November, Duran Duran had been playing in concert on Broadway, until this Saturday when a Union Strike began, affecting most Broadway productions. With 3 remaining concerts canceled and in discussions to be moved to a different venue, this fortunately did not distrupt my concerts on November 3rd or 9th, nor did it interrupt my foaming at the mouth when I took a couple of days waiting in the

The October 2007 Edition of Spin Magazine has a one page interview(Pg. 40) featuring a solo shot of him taken during the 2005 Fashion Rocks photo sessions by Stephanie Pistel. In the interview he reveals a few observations about his bandmate, Nick Rhodes along with various tidbits about himself as a rock star in the '00s.

As reported this week by both The Daily Mail and NME the band have been filming the video for the 1st new single "Falling Down." Scantly clad models have been seen wearing nurses uniforms and flesh colored underwear and there is word of both a "clean" and "x-rated"(topless) version featuring said Nurses. While, Simon looks like he's actually dressed to film a less nerdy version of himself in a

The official duranduran.com website is in the process of updating the for promotion of the new album, Red Carpet Massacre. At the same time, they are asking for votes to win BTDigital Music Awards based on its(dd.com's) site. I would not give my vote to dd.com even if you set me on fire. While the concepts are obviously bold, it has physically looked like a jigsaw puzzle since as early as the

DuranDuranMusic.com has announced a contest for all registered members, a G-Star Autographed Giveaway from Simon and Nick. The items aren't listed but a picture had been provided. Looks like a program and a bag from the event. Both items are signed. Maybe the winner would be kind enough to take a photo so we can find out if it was, indeed, a program and a designer carrier bag?
