Duran Duran Duran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Duran Duran Duran (not to be confused with band Duran Duran) is a breakcore band consisting of Ed Flis, Michael Chaiken, and Tony Gabor. Philadelphia-based Ed Flis is the main working member and does most live shows by himself.

Like most breakcore Duran Duran Duran's music is reminiscent of the rave music of the early 1990's. However, Ed Flis admits to not being heavily influenced by the rave scene himself, as he was a young teenager in Philadelphia during its height. "I remember the early '90s rave scene, but I can't say I was directly a part of it in any respect," says Flis in an interview. "I was mainly interested in metal, drugs, hip-hop and porno. Freestyle and club music were everywhere though and I guess, unconsciously, a lot of that took root." Indeed, heavy metal, illegal drugs, hip-hop and pornography, especially homosexual pornography, are four of Duran Duran Duran's defining characteristics, evident in both his music and his performance persona.

Duran Duran Duran's music is more a reaction to the IDM's staleness than a direct continuation of early rave. "I got heavy into rave and old-skool hardcore as an alternative to the art-wank, tight-ass, IDM bullshit, which is primarily a confederacy of no-talents and anti-talents," Flis says. "Rave is cheap, tossed-off, drug-damaged and rocking. IDM is pretentious, boring and not fun. It's the new prog-rock." [1]

In January 2005, Duran Duran Duran's full album "Very Pleasure" was the first release of Jason Forrest's Cock Rock Disco label. The album takes from hip-hop, rock and ragga and samples from 80s hits like Ace of Base, but also metal like Slayer. With a painting of two naked men frolicking in a field on the cover and song titles like "Manrammer", the album reflects Ed Flis' pseudo gay propaganda, intended to shock a more mainstream audience.

The name "Duran Duran Duran" inspired the name "Boing Boing Boing" for the Boing Boing podcast, according to Cory Doctorow in Boing Boing Boing episode 1.
