One of the very first Duran Duran Demos
March 15th, 2013
Hello! I had a little question, for Nick - I just opened JT's Vault on the site and out of the two images that pop up one is a cassette card designed by John in the early days. Well I just noticed it mentions "Dior" against synthesizers. We all know there is and has been only one synth player in DD EVER, so was DIOR one of the early alias Nick used or am I misreading something here? Also, apart from "Girls on Films," it list three more songs - can anyone shed some light on any of them. Thanks. Love to the Band.Hammad from Pakistan ( yes we do have Duranies here and thousands of them actually).
Hello Hammad!You found the evidence that both John and Nick had the desire to change their names before they decided what to change them to! The cassette cover is from their first demo when Andy Wickett was the band's singer. "Girls on Film" was the only track that survived the line up changes over the years, but the version the band eventually released is very different to the one included on that particular cassette.

Hey Warren! What was it like being back with all your old friends last night for the BEI Incubi art exhibition in London? Was it fun? Weird? Exciting? All three? and what are your favorite TV MANIA tracks?? Thanks, Lucas
hey lucas...well, you might imagine it would be weird to be around so many 'ex-wives' so to speak...(nick & i are actually STILL in a relationship!) but this is DURAN DURAN...a band made up of very sensitive, intelligent gentlemen (damn! one of 'em is already a best selling author!)...a fantastic time was had by all & i am so proud of nick for putting in the extreme effort to get his photos ready for this show...it was a resounding success all around...and so much like a beautiful dream. it's really funny that nick chose the 'bei incubi' title...something about that mr. rhodes!!!
'euphoria' & 'beautiful clothes,' both of which have AMAZING VIDEOS by the way, are my long standing faves, but EVERY song is key in this collection...it is a concept album after all! honorable mention would have to go to paramount & 'what’s in the future?'....wait wait wait wait wait...who am i kidding?? IT'S A BLOODY MASTERPIECE!!! they're ALL essential...
