Duran Duran: "Unstaged" Directed by David Lynch

Duran Duran will kick-off the second year of “Unstaged: An Original Series from American Express” on March 23 at the Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles. The event (featuring all four original members: Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor) comes one day after the physical release of their 14-track, critically acclaimed 13th studio album All You Need Is Now (S-Curve Records). Duran Duran’s performance will mark the first time an artist is playing the “Unstaged” music series from Los Angeles. Upon release, tickets for Duran Duran’s performance at the Mayan Theatre sold out in under five minutes.

The 2011 “Unstaged” kick-off performance will be live-streamed at 10:00PM ET / 7:00PM PT at www.YouTube.com/DuranDuranVEVO. American Express, in partnership with VEVO and YouTube, will provide Duran Duran fans worldwide with access to the performance. “Unstaged” coincides with anticipated sets at Ultra Music Festival and Coachella and a run of select, intimate North American April album release shows, which include newly added dates in Pomona, CA, Toronto, ON and Boston, MA.

Award-winning filmmaker David Lynch (The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Drive), known for his unique cinematic style that masterfully blends imagery and sound design, has been enlisted to capture the performance, providing fans with a visually stunning home viewing experience. A sneak peak of what to expect from David Lynch and “Unstaged” is available below.
