Via our website you can also purchase tickets for the all-times Duran Duran (originated in 1978), a musical group famous for a great number of winning, synthesizer singles and lively musical videos. Once a leading band of MTV Second British Invasion of the USA, one of the most successful of the New Romantic groups of the present, Duran Duran are still often referred to as a group of the 80s. The continuous recording and chart's success during the twenty-eight year history has often led to sellouts.
The band is known to have sold more than 70 million records in the USA and other countries all over the globe; they had 18 singles in the Billboard Hot 100 chart and 30 in the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart. The far-famed Is There Something I Should Know, "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Reflex" , the theme for James Bond's "A View to a Kill", "Ordinary World", "Come Undone", "Sunrise" and also "What Happens Tomorrow" became familiar to almost everybody.
The group Duran Duran started out with Nick Rhodes (as keyboards) and John Taylor (as bass), later on came Roger Taylor (drums), Andy Taylor (guitar), and Simon Le Bon (lead vocals).
Although the group was never dismissed, it had to go through a number of structural changes with the years. The comeback of the original five members at the very beginning of the 2000s livened up the music media and the group's fans. The band Duran Duran released the album Astronaut with the help of the reunited members in the year of 2004. The guitarist Andy Taylor left the band in 2006, but the group is not going to stop recording. The next album is expected in the middle of 2007.
Some words about the videos of Duran Duran. Besides the lively and cheerful pop songs that were among the first ones on the radio, the group could easily boast of their symbolic music videos. Although a great many of the video clips were really ironic, the band never really tried to go far from the glamorous image which their early videos presented. The MTV channel and the group started out at approximately the same time, and they both played an important role in each others popularity. The MTV channel was in need of brilliant videos with new talented performers. And Duran Duran was the kind of group which could create such videos.
The band's video songs were rather powerful in several ways. First of all, Duran Duran shooted in exotic places, namely Sri Lanka or Antigua which created new images, totally different from the common videos, in which the singers simply performed on stage. Secondly, the band took part in mini-stories inspired by most up-to-date movies such as Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Road Warrior, etc.).The well-known case connected with claiming the production costs for the music videos as write-offs against earnings out of their record sales, that Duran Duran won, has given a start to a whole industry of music video production.
