Duran Duran Headed to Second Life
We’ll bring you more details later today [UPDATE: here they are] (I’m blogging this from the Brooklyn courts building, where I’m on jury duty, maddeningly), but 3pointD has just got word that the “80s supergroup” we told you would be setting foot in the virtual world is none other than Duran Duran. I don’t have access to all the details while I’m here sitting in judgment on my peers, so you’ll have to wait until this afternoon before I can bring you more on just what Nick and Simon have planned, but it’s so far going by the name The Virtual World Experience, designed and created by Rivers Run Red, in association with Sony/BMG Music Entertainment. One thing that’s interesting is that the project seems to have been driven as much by the band’s interest in the virtual world as by RRR’s interest in getting the band on its client roster. Stay tuned for updates.

Aarghh nuts; my comment on the original post came in at 12:58, so you just beat me to it. Did you tamper with the posting times? :)
[…] 3pointD is reporting a follow-up to the “80s supergroup” coming to SL and it is in fact Duran Duran — group that I think I totally missed on my list of guesses. […]
Her name is Rio and she dances on the virtual sand…
Duran Duran in Second Life as well as channel 4

Good call, Henrik! Nope, though, if anything the post time is later than I’d originally posted, since I had to edit a spelling mistake, hehe.
Actually, Sony/BMG are not involved in the design process at all. This is entirely being driven by Nick Rhodes and Duran Duran working in collaboration with Rivers Run Red. This means the band get to realise and express their own ideas through some of the coolest and most professional design & build, coding & scripting guys out there, in Rivers Run Red.
