About the Holiday

Are you "Hungry Like a Wolf?" Do you like boys in make-up with perfectly coiffed hair? If you adored this Fab Five band in the '80s, then National Duran Duran Appreciation Day is the day for you. Born from Birmingham, England's underground club cult movement, Duran Duran was founded by Nick Rhodes and John Taylor in 1978. After searching for a name, Duran Duran was chosen from the Milo O'Shea character in Jane Fonda's futuristic film, "Barbarella". Additional band members included Roger Taylor, Simon LeBon and Andy Taylor.
