Boys With Taste

Okay, even I'm getting a bit worried about how frequently Duran Duran comes up in my ramblings these days, but what can I say? They're in the news.

DURAN DURAN ANNOUNCE GOLDFRAPP & SCISSOR SISTERS AS SPECIAL GUESTS FOR UK TOUR

Pop legends DURAN DURAN have announced GOLDFRAPP and SCISSOR SISTERS as special guests for their forthcoming UK arena tour which kicks off on Sunday April 11th at Nottingham Arena.

Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes said; “Goldfrapp make beautiful, elegant music. Their albums have given all of us in the band a great deal of pleasure and so we are thrilled to be bringing them to our audience – introducing them to anyone who has not yet been converted and treating those who are already familiar with the band to some extraordinary music.”

Lead singer Simon Le Bon added “It’s a dream bill for us, Goldfrapp are sublime and we can’t wait to see the Scissor Sisters perform on stage. When we first started the band, the New York avant garde scene provided us with much inspiration. Now the Scissor Sisters are out there on the edge, bringing some personality back into music. Both of these bands are the real deal and one thing’s for sure, we know our audience like the real thing.”

Wow - Goldfrapp and the Scissor Sisters? I'm so proud of my boys!

PS: Their appearance on CBS just prior to the Superbowl included no breasts. Although had they known that was the order of the day, I'm sure they would have ordered some.
