DAVID LYNCH-DIRECTED DURAN DURAN CONCERT FILM SEES NATIONWIDE RELEASE: ONE NIGHT ONLY ON SEPTEMBER 10th
Screenvision and Phase 4 Films Bring ‘Duran Duran Unstaged’ to More Than 300 Movie Theatres Nationwide
Los Angeles, CA – August 13, 2014 – The iconic British rock band Duran Duran will take over US movie theaters on Wednesday, September 10th for a one-night-only showing of the film Duran Duran: Unstaged. This movie showcases the band’s concert at the Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles, which was part of the American Express Unstaged concert series that celebrated the band’s All You Need Is Now album and world tour. Screenvision in alliance with Phase 4 Films will screen the film in over 300 locations.
The film was directed by award-winning filmmaker David Lynch (The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Drive) as part of the American Express Unstaged. Known for his unique cinematic style that masterfully blends extraordinary imagery and sound design, Lynch has captured the band’s performance in a ground-breaking, creative way that will provide fans with a visually stunning in-theater viewing experience. When it was originally filmed, the director layered images that he had created in advance of the show (live action, animation, special effects, etc.) on top of the band’s performance footage as it was being filmed live. The technique, created an ocular event unlike anything ever seen before. Special guests include Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance), Beth Ditto (Gossip), Kelis and long-time collaborator, Mark Ronson.
CLICK HERE to watch the newly-imagined trailer for the film, recently created by David Lynch. After the live performance, David Lynch went back into the studio to recreate the magic that occurred during the concert and re-cut the film – watching back the performance footage while he ‘live switched’ the show for a second time, reworking the overlay footage to create a new director’s cut. Duran Duran also remixed the audio for this upcoming theatrical release.
Tickets will go on sale on Friday, August 15th. CLICK HERE for purchase information. This will undoubtedly be a feast for the eyes and ears on the big screen that you won’t want to miss.
The film features all four original members of Duran Duran: Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor. Upon release, tickets for Duran Duran’s performance at the Mayan Theatre sold out in less than five minutes.
“We are all very proud to have worked in partnership with the legendary David Lynch on this project. It was a tremendously rewarding and exhilarating experience,” said Simon Le Bon. “I was particularly delighted by the sausage barbecue sequence during the song Come Undone – something I would never have expected but it works superbly!”
“David is a visionary artist, his work is always surprising and beautifully strange – so it was a surreal dream collaboration for us to work with him and to become the subjects of one of his films,” said Nick Rhodes. “When we first discussed the notion of working together, we bonded over a shared desire to create a truly unique live film. I felt confident we could rely upon David to conjure up something stylish, experimental, handmade and innovative. He surpassed all of our wildest expectations.”
Duran Duran is one of the most ground-breaking British bands of the last three decades. With over 100 million records sold, 30 UK Top 20 hits, 18 American hit singles, and six prestigious ‘Lifetime Achievement Awards’ from MTVVMAs, the BRITS, the IVOR NOVELLOS, Q Magazine, the Spanish Ondas, and GQ Magazine, Duran Duran has shown that throughout the years, they continue to thrill with the same venerable vigor and enthusiasm of their earliest records, delivering to fans the songs they remember and new ones to love with the creative momentum to propel them into the next decade and beyond.

I loved their last album with Mark Ronson. Throw in Nile Rodgers and I'm very excited. I have no expectations that radio will play them, but the music should be good.

www.duranduran.com/wordpress/2014/duran-duran-nile-rodgers-talk-new-album/September 22nd, 2014 ‘I couldn’t be happier to be working with my band again,’ Rodgers says of reuniting with ‘Wild Boys’ collaborators. Thirty years ago, Duran Duran and Nile Rodgers teamed for the band’s iconic hit single “The Wild Boys.” Now, that pairing is back in action, recording Duran Duran’s new studio album, which is due for release in first half of 2015. “The record is coming along great,” says Rodgers. “I couldn’t be happier to be working with my band again. They’re like my second CHIC.” (Rodgers — who topped the Billboard Hot 100 twice with his band CHIC — also co-produced Duran Duran’s Notorious album, and remixed their Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single “The Reflex” to great success.) Also on board for the new album: Mark Ronson, who co-produced Duran Duran’s last album, 2010′s All You Need Is Now. Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante has previously contributed guitar work, and Mr Hudson has also been in the studio with the band. “We’ve got different collaborators on different songs,” says the band’s John Taylor, “and they are also sort of intermixing, you know? I don’t really want to talk about that, yet: the various formulas and the various interactions that are happening, because it’s not finished yet.” While Taylor did not elaborate on the direction of the new music (as they are still “assembling the various pieces that make the album”), the band’s Nick Rhodes has been slightly more forthcoming about the set’s sound. “I think we know where we want to be, and it’s right in the center of the dance floor,” he recently told the Associated Press. “That’s what we’re aiming for together.”As the band is not under contract with a record company, they are in discussions with a number of labels for the release of the album, according to their management. For their last album, the band partnered with Apple, giving its iTunes Store the exclusive right to sell the album for its first three months. Then, the group signed a deal with S-Curve Records to issue an expanded version of All You Need Is Now to all retailers. Next up for the band: They’ll play the Formula 1 Grand Prix Weekend Fan Fest in Austin, Texas, on Nov. 1. It’s the group’s only ticketed U.S. concert of 2014. However, don’t expect new music at the show, as Taylor says it’s “very unlikely” that they’ll surprise the audience with new tunes from the forthcoming album. “When you’re coming out with something new,” he says, “you want people to hear it really the way that it’s meant to be heard. And that’s probably not going to be a first-time live performance.”

Girl on film: Lindsay Lohan working with Duran Duran on new trackblog.chron.com/celebritybuzz/2014/12/girl-on-film-lindsay-lohan-working-with-duran-duran-on-new-track/Lindsay Lohan is planning a musical comeback with a little help from Duran Duran. The Mean Girls star, who recently wrapped her West End theatre debut in London, has revealed she’s collaborating with the 1980s group on a new track. Lohan has posted a picture of herself and sister Ali in the recording studio with bandmates Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes on Twitter and Instagram, adding the caption, “#DuranDuran @aliana recording with some greats!!!” The pop stars shared the same photo on their Twitter account, with the caption: “Well this shot even surprised HQ! @duranduran, @lindsaylohan, @aliana, #DD14.” The tweet has sparked speculation that the track will appear on the group’s forthcoming 14th album, scheduled for release next year, 2015. The album will also feature Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante.

From their FB page: Duran Duran have officially wrapped the album today, record deal info coming soon. Mark Ronson and Nile Rodgers have worked on it, also singer Kiesza. Disco king Nile Rodgers is strutting into Birmingham on Wednesday, March 25 for a gig at the 02 Academy. The guitarist, who has earned a reputation as a producer, working with the likes of Madonna, Mick Jagger and Jeff Beck, has been busy working on an album with Duran Duran, which he says is due out this autumn. Nile, who produced the band’s huge hits The Reflex and Wild Boys, as well as the album Notorious in the late 80s, reveals: ‘‘The record sounds funky and amazing and I’m really thrilled. It’s killin’, killin’ killin’.’’ Nile, who has helped write and produce the album, says that after working his magic in the studio recently, he ‘‘sat back and smiled and said, ‘Yep, Simon (Le Bon) I really know how to do Duran Duran records’ and he said, ‘no kidding, you really do’.’’ More here: www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/nile-rodgers-interview-hopes-new-8816164#ICID=sharebar_twitter

www.marketwired.com/press-release/warner-bros-records-signs-duran-duran-to-global-recording-contract-2004298.htmWarner Bros. Records Signs Duran Duran to Global Recording ContractIconic Multi-Platinum Band Complete New Studio Album With Producers Nile Rodgers, Mark Ronson and Mr Hudson BURBANK, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 27, 2015) - Warner Bros. Records (WBR) announced today that it has signed a global recording contract with international superstars Duran Duran. Singer Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, bassist John Taylor, and drummer Roger Taylor have just completed work in London on a new studio album, their 14th. Produced by Nile Rodgers, Mark Ronson and Mr Hudson, it is slated for release in September of this year. Duran Duran first teamed up with Rodgers as a producer on the band's hit single, "The Wild Boys." This followed his remix of their first worldwide No. 1 single, "The Reflex." The CHIC co-founder also produced their multi-platinum album, Notorious. Ronson (Bruno Mars, Amy Winehouse) produced Duran Duran's last studio album, 2010's All You Need Is Now, which hit the #1 slot in 15 countries. The first single: "Pressure Off" from their upcoming release features critically acclaimed singer / songwriter Janelle Monáe. The new album also includes guest appearances by former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, and Canadian Juno-Award winning newcomer Kiesza. "I am thrilled to welcome Duran Duran into the Warner Bros. family," said Warner Bros. Records President Dan McCarroll. "This is an iconic, enduring band that continues to make brilliant, timeless pop music. The combination of Duran Duran, Nile Rodgers, Mark Ronson and Mr Hudson is a dream team, and the songs they have created together for this new record are as fresh and compelling as anything in the band's long career. All of us at WBR are looking forward to working with Simon, Nick, John, and Roger as they begin this exciting new chapter." "We could not be happier to be making this deal with Warner Bros., and are looking forward to working on our forthcoming album release with not only their US team but also everyone else within the Warner family around the world," said bassist John Taylor. "We are also excited that this deal means we will be reunited with our catalogue after years apart -- and in that sense it really feels a little like coming home." Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1978, Duran Duran went on to become one of the most culturally influential and commercially successful bands of all time, topping the charts around the world over the past three decades and selling more than 100 million records worldwide. They have been the recipients of Grammys, Brits, Ivor Novellos, six Lifetime Achievement Awards and a 20th Century Style Icon award from the City of Milan. Tireless innovators, they are always at the vanguard of music, fashion, art, technology and film -- a group with unique and everlasting appeal. www.duranduran.comCONTACT INFORMATION For further information, please contact Warner Bros.

FIRST SINGLE IS “PRESSURE OFF,” FEATURING JANELLE MONÁE Album due September 18th In The U.S. From Warner Bros. Records and September 11th In All Other Territories Multi-Platinum Band Announce U.S. & U.K. 2015 Tour Dates Burbank, CA — Multi-platinum superstars Duran Duran will release their 14th studio album, Paper Gods [artwork below] in the U.S. on September 18th and in the rest of the world on September 11th through Warner Bros. Records. Singer Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, bassist John Taylor, and drummer Roger Taylor recorded the album in London with producers Nile Rodgers, Mark Ronson, Josh Blair, and Mr Hudson. The record features special guests Janelle Monáe (on the first single “Pressure Off”), former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, Canadian Juno-Award winning singer Kiesza, British singer/songwriter Mr Hudson, violinist Davidé Rossi and actress Lindsay Lohan. The album was mixed by Mark ‘Spike’ Stent. Paper Gods will be available for pre-order and “Pressure Off” will be available for purchase at all participating digital retailers and DuranDuran.com this week. The songs on Paper Gods capture the duality and sense of conflict at the heart of Duran Duran’s music. “It really goes back to that strange early Duran mix: the hard-edged pop, coexisting with this dark, weird, experimental side,” John says. “That’s something that’s essential to all of us,” Nick adds. “It’s great to be able to lift people’s spirits — and your own — with a strong shot of pure pop, but the world we live in isn’t all just made of that stuff, so it seems natural to me that we have kept one foot in the darker, more Gothic side of life.” Early sessions for Paper Gods began in 2013, with Mark Ronson and engineer Josh Blair once again joining the band in their south London recording studio, as they had for 2011’s All You Need is Now, which was produced by Ronson. When Ronson was called away to begin working on his own album, Duran Duran and Blair hooked up with the Kanye West/Jay-Z collaborator Ben “Mr” Hudson, and the sessions caught fire. In the summer of 2014, Ronson returned once more to the project, adding long-time Duran collaborator, Nile Rodgers to the mix for two of the album’s standout tracks. The remaining songs were co-produced by Josh Blair and the band. “We found a whole new level of inspiration on this album,” says Rhodes. “We’ve allowed ourselves the time to make music that we can be proud of,” adds Le Bon . “I judge what we release by my favourite albums — Horses, Harvest, Let It Bleed, Blue, Transformer, Aladdin Sane. Those are classic albums. The only rule is it’s got to be music you can live with for the rest of your life.” CHIC co-founder Nile Rodgers, Mark Ronson and Mr Hudson co-wrote, and produced the track “Pressure Off” and “Only in Dreams.” Rodgers also features on the first single from what will be the band’s 14th studio release. The former harks back to the taut funk of Duran Duran’s 1986 album Notorious, which was also co-produced by Rodgers. “Notorious was a strong touchstone for the band,” says Roger Taylor. “All You Need is Now definitely reflected our earlier albums, but our starting point here was Notorious. We’re fortunate to be able to be inspired by our own back catalogue – not many bands can say that.” In a collaboration overseen by China Chow, the band worked closely with Los Angeles-based artist Alex Israel, who created the album’s cover art. It features a collage of images that reference the visual history of Duran Duran, each placed like a sticker on a reproduction of Israel’s “Sky Backdrop” painting. The logo and graphic design are by Brian Roettinger. Alongside news of the new album, Duran Duran have also announced that they will perform a series of summer festivals, as well as several shows in the U.S. in September and October, followed by a UK arena tour that kicks off in late November. Fan Community members will have access to pre-sale tickets and VIP packages.

Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1978, Duran Duran is one of the most culturally influential and commercially successful bands of all time, topping the charts around the world over the past three decades and selling more than 100 million records worldwide. The band has been honored with multiple Grammy, BRIT, Ivor Novello, and MTV Video Music Lifetime Achievement Awards, as well as a 20th Century Style Icon award from the City of Milan. In July, they will receive the Spotify UK Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s 40th Anniversary O2 Silver Clef Awards.

This certainly makes more sense.
By Popular Demand, Band Will Now Release Album One Week Earlier in the U.S. For a Global Street Date of September 11th.
July 9th, 2015 — Burbank, CA — Multi-platinum superstars Duran Duran have announced that, due to popular demand, they will move the U.S. release date of their 14th studio album, Paper Gods, up from September 18th to give Paper Gods a global street date of September 11th.
Pre-order Paper Gods on Amazon by clicking here.
Singer Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, bassist John Taylor, and drummer Roger Taylor recorded Paper Gods in London with producers Nile Rodgers, Mark Ronson, Josh Blair, and Mr Hudson. The songs — already being heralded as the band’s best work since Rio — capture the true essence of Duran Duran, with the duality and sense of conflict that has always been at the heart of their music. Visceral and daring, the album mixes hard-edged, contemporary pop with the band’s darker more experimental side to create a body of work that is epic in its scope.
A Deluxe version of Paper Gods is currently available for pre-order at all participating retailers. The Deluxe Fan Edition is available exclusively at DuranDuran.com or Warner Brothers Duran Duran Music Store. The new single “Pressure Off” is available in the United States everywhere digital music is sold.

LOL. Boy you had me fooled. Good job on keeping fans updated. In today's world age is not so forgiving. Once a band goes beyond their 40's its like no one cares. I am surprised they are still pumping like in the 80's. The music is still good but we are in the age of streaming and the current genres on the radio does not give them any room to grow.
I can only therefore dream...sigh...If only they could come back into mainstream spotlight in 2020 one more time, would be a great comeback for the whole world...They have crossed about 6 decades from 1978 to 2020's.
A unique band I would say.

Duran Duran"When we first formed Duran Duran, we often spoke about our dream producer being Giorgio Moroder. It's taken a while for the stars to align but finally, we got to collaborate with the maestro on a couple of songs for our new album. What a thrill it was, the tracks have turned out just the way we always imagined they would..." Nick Rhodes - London

Produced by Mark Ronson and Nile Rodgers, alongside Mr Hudson and Josh Blair, the record featured collaborations with Janelle Monáe, John Frusciante, Kiesza and Jonas Bjerre (of Mew.) A global, three-year, sold-out arena tour followed where the band brilliantly combined such classics as Girls on Film, The Wild Boys, Ordinary World, The Reflex, Come Undone, (Reach Up For The) Sunrise and Rio with stunning new songs from Paper Gods. The two-time Grammy, BRIT Award and Ivor Novello winners are currently working on their 15th studio album. It is due for release in 2021 when the band will continue their 40th anniversary celebrations with a number of major live shows and events – including headlining both the Isle of White Festival and Lytham Festival. Their Scarborough Open Air Theatre show is presented by Cuffe and Taylor. Promoter Peter Taylor said: “Duran Duran are global superstars and we are so excited to be bringing them here to Scarborough next summer. “Their live shows are simply epic and fans have been asking us for some time now to bring them here to the Yorkshire coast. It is another massive headline show for Scarborough OAT 2021!”
