Yes, it’s a lyric from a Duran Duran song.  

If you’re a Duran Duran fan living in the US, you’ve been waiting for September 2014.

The new album isn’t out yet but Duran Duran are out in full force preparing the masses for their presence with 3 different events:

 

 

Tonight at 6pm PST, Duran Duran are going to be live in Monterey, CA promoting the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata (click here for link to reveal video).

  • The fact that the band are here in my new state and I won’t be driving the 5 hours to the private show is sad. What’s worse is that 6pm is in the middle of Wild Boy wrangling so I won’t be watching the performance live….but my father-in-law (who owns a Miata and is a huge fan of the car – not the band) will be.  Here’s hoping he’ll fill me in.

 

On September 9th, Duran Duran will be performing at Fashion Rocks on CBS at 9:00PM EST/11:00PM PST at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

  • To say that the Barclay’s Center is mere blocks away from the Brooklyn apartment that we just sold in May adds unnecessary insult to an unhealed injury (I’m still mourning the apartment).  A part of me still hasn’t gotten over the fact that I wasn’t at the Nov 2013 MoMA event where it seemed like every Duranie I knew got a chance to be up close and personal with the band.  I know there are plenty of Duranies who feel my pain though.  I won’t be at the show but I will be watching.

 

On September 10th there will be a one night only screening (in 300 theaters nationwide) of the David Lynch directed concert film, Duran Duran: Unstaged.

  • First the MoMA even in New York and now even though a screening is being held right near my house, I’m not going to this event either and I’m truly gutted.  Even my new California friends recognize my Duran devotion because a relatively new friend of mine gave me info about this special screening even before Duran Duran announced the one night only show.   There’s an excellent reason why I won’t be attending the screening but only some readers will understand (reason will be revealed next week but this photo has a hint).

I know that Duran Duran are playing in Austin in November (have you seen those ticket prices?!  Ouch!) but I’ll need to wait until the album is released and the next tour is scheduled (unless the concert fairy exists and decides to bestow a gift of lottery winnings upon me).

It was a #14in2014 goal to meet the band this year but that’s not looking likely.  This image will have to do until then.

Here’s hoping my 3 things of bad Duran luck will end here

and

cheers to a 2015 Duran Duran album and tour, fellow Duranies!
