Duran Duran to Perform Virtual Gigs

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the for-varying-degrees-of-'live' dept.

Sir Haxalot writes "The British band Duran Duran is to create a virtual island within the online world of Second Life, on which they will perform actual live concerts." From the article: "Three-dimensional versions of the band members - called Avatars - have been commissioned and will be revealed in September. The band hopes to perform their first virtual concert in the coming months. Rhodes added: 'We are hoping to give the crowd that come to the virtual concert a real immersive experience, so they can interact with us and react while we are stage.'"

    Does Second Life take place in 1983?

    Seriously - Duran Duran has virtually sucked for virtually 25 years.

      No, they have actually sucked. Perhaps you meant to say they have virtually no talent?
