Arte
TV has a preview of tomorrow's broadcast with the Devils here
(or here,
if you prefer to navigate the French version of the web page), including
a clip of Aztec Moon. (Thanks, Manon!)
Introduction:
The harbinger of electro pop, Gary Numan meets the Devils, created
by two Duran Duran members from long ago. A very 80's party, orchestrated
in Cologne by Ray Cokes.
Gary Numan debuted in 1997 with "Tubeway Army", then recorded
his first solo records. Many of his singles and album quickly climbed
the top of the charts and the title "Are Friends Electric"
became an 80's anthem. In the 90's, Gary Numan rarely appeared, but
his words, reprised by Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters
and DJ Hell, still found success. In 2003, he began a series of concerts.
It was here that last February he met the Devils at Cologne's Live
Music Hall. In 1979 Nick Rhodes (keyboards) and Stephen Duffy (singer)
created Duran Duran with other musicians, with Stephen Duffy leaving
the band a few months later. Meetings between Rhodes and Duffy over
4 years bore the group the Devils, who, with Gary Numan, display their
influences aside Kraftwerk, David Bowie, and the Clash.
Gary Numan performs: rip, dark, a prayer for the unborn.
The Devils perform: aztec moon, dark circles, barbarellas.
Together they perform: I can't breathe.

to view the interview (in English).
In a few days I'll have a transcription of the interview - unless
anyone can do one quickly? If so, please email
me.
Nick and Meredith were spotted in Venice over the weekend attending
a wedding.
