The Music Between Us examines the impact Duran Duran has made on audiences around the world, seen through the lens of fans’ concert memories

With rare handbills, flyers, and advertisements as context, Duran Duran’s live shows are quantified in the voices that speak the loudest: the Duranies who were there. Whether describing the first time seeing the band, or recounting frenzied efforts to catch John Taylor’s eye on stage, fans reveal themselves with remarkable humor, poignant candor, and absolute pride in their devotion to Duran Duran.

"To see my story, along with other Duranie tribe members' stories in one beautiful book - that I know each band member will read - made me weep. I could hear the music, the cheers, and roars of appreciation with each page turned."

Amanda Greco

Reception & Reviews

"The sometimes humorous, often times wistful fan recollections is a perfect slice of nostalgia for those of us who miss having to put in some legwork to prove we were the biggest fan."

Culture Collide

"The Music Between Us is not only an impressive (and necessary) tome for fans of Duran Duran but an example of how one band's aesthetic brilliance can be collated to show the impressive sum of their stylish legacy to date. Other pop and rock acts should take notes."

Antonino Tati, Cream

"A sense of joy pervades the 117 pages of The Music Between Us. One need not be a longtime fan of, or expert on, the music of Duran Duran to appreciate the work. Andrew Golub has amassed a beautiful collection of words and images."

Joseph Arellano, San Francisco Book Review
