'''Nick Rhodes''' (born '''Nicholas James Bates'''; 8 June 1962) is an English keyboardist and producer, best known as a founding member and the keyboardist of the band [[Duran Duran]]. He has also been the only constant member of the group since their 1978 inception.<ref name="rollingstone">{{cite magazine|url=https://archive.org/details/rollingstoneency00holl |url-access=registration |title=The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll|year=2001 |publisher=Touchstone |last1=George-Warren|first1=Holly|first2=Patricia |last2=Romanowski|first3= Jon |last3=Pareles|magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=30 January 2010 | isbn=978-0-7432-0120-9}}</ref>

Rhodes has been involved in several side projects outside of, but related to, Duran Duran: he released an album with [[Arcadia (band)|Arcadia]] in 1985 (featuring Duran Duran members Le Bon and [[Roger Taylor (Duran Duran drummer)|Roger Taylor]]),<ref name="billboard">{{cite journal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KSQEAAAAMBAJ&q=%2B%22Nick+Rhodes%22+%2B%22arcadia%22&pg=PT62 |title=Arcadia:The Rest of Duran Duran|journal=[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]] |date=12 October 1985 |last=Gillis|first=Kathy|access-date=30 January 2010}}</ref> and recorded and performed as [[the Devils (band)|the Devils]] in 2002 with [[Stephen Duffy]], longtime musical friend and the original lead singer of Duran Duran. In March 2013, he released the [[TV Mania]] side project with former Duran Duran guitarist, [[Warren Cuccurullo]].

==Early history==
Nicholas James Bates is the only child of affluent parents who were the owners of a [[Birmingham]] toy shop. He attended [[Woodrush High School]] in [[Wythall]], north [[Worcestershire]]. Bates left school in 1978 at the age of sixteen, and founded Duran Duran with his childhood friend [[John Taylor (bass guitarist)|John Taylor]] (who then played lead guitar) and Taylor's art school friend [[Stephen Duffy]] (vocals, bass, guitar). Having considered band names such as 'RAF', 'Arabia', 'Industry' and 'Arcadia', they named their band after "Dr. Durand Durand", [[Milo O'Shea]]'s character from the sci-fi film ''[[Barbarella (film)|Barbarella]]'' the day after the movie had been broadcast by BBC 1 on 20 October 1978.<ref name="c1">{{cite web|url=https://durancompilations.com/early1.html |title=Duran Duran - The Early Days Chapter 1 |publisher=durancompilations.com |access-date=26 May 2022 }}</ref> The three of them made their first recordings on a cassette tape recorder above Bates' parents' toy shop and played their first gig on 5 April 1979 at [[Birmingham Polytechnic]], and were joined by Simon Colley (clarinet and bass) soon after.<ref name="c1" /> In June 1979 Duran Duran opened for the band [[Fashion (band)|Fashion]] at the [[Barbarella's]] club in Birmingham, but following the departure of Duffy and Colley reformed soon after with vocalist Andy Wickett and drummer [[Roger Taylor (Duran Duran drummer)|Roger Taylor]]. At this point Bates' stage name was Dior Bates.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://durancompilations.com/early2.html |title=Duran Duran - The Early Days Chapter 2|publisher=durancompilations.com |access-date=26 May 2022 }}</ref> After several personnel changes Duran Duran finally settled on the line-up including guitarist [[Andy Taylor (guitarist)|Andy Taylor]] and lead singer [[Simon Le Bon]] in May 1980 and were eventually signed to [[EMI]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://durancompilations.com/early4.html |title=Duran Duran - The Early Days Chapter 4 |publisher=durancompilations.com |access-date=26 May 2022 }}</ref>

Born Nicholas Bates, he decided to change his name for aesthetic reasons. The decision was finally made during Duran Duran's first official interview when the journalist asked his name and he made a snap decision based upon options he had been considering, he answered Nick Rhodes and never questioned it again.
As the band coalesced into its final line-up in 1979–1980, Duran Duran started playing at a local [[Birmingham]] club called the [[Rum Runner (nightclub)|Rum Runner]]. The club owners became the band's managers, and Rhodes began working at the club as a disc jockey.<ref name="rollingstone"/>

Rhodes reportedly owns the Duran Duran name; this was mentioned in the [[The Andy Warhol Diaries|Andy Warhol diaries]]. In the entry for October 5, 1986, Warhol told his diarist [[Pat Hackett (writer)|Pat Hackett]]: "One of the Taylors isn't in the group anymore but Nick owns the name so it's still Duran Duran."<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Warhol |first1=Andy |url= |title=The Andy Warhol Diaries |last2=Hackett |first2=Pat |date=1989 |publisher=Warner Books |isbn=978-0-446-51426-2 |location=New York, NY |pages=764}}</ref> [[Duran Duran#1986–1989: Le Bon, Rhodes and John Taylor trio|In 1986]], Andy and Roger Taylor left the band, returning in 2001 to reunite and create the ''[[Astronaut (Duran Duran album)|Astronaut]]'' album.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Parker |first=Lyndsey |date=2023-10-12 |title=Andy Taylor talks beating stage 4 cancer, returning to the live stage… and what really happened with Duran Duran's lost 'Reportage' album |url=https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/andy-taylor-beating-cancer-duran-duran-shelved-reportage-album-001126224.html |access-date=2024-04-03 |website=Yahoo Entertainment |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Contributions to Duran Duran==
[[File:Nick Rhodes - Duran Duran 1986 (cropped).jpg|thumb|Rhodes in 1986]]
{{BLP unsourced section|date=May 2019}}
The band achieved rapid success, and Rhodes was a driving force throughout. An unschooled musician, he experimented with the sounds his [[analogue synthesiser]]s were capable of, but shied away from the "novelty" sounds of some other early synth bands. The distinctive warble of "[[Save a Prayer]]", the keyboard stabs of "[[A View to a Kill (song)|A View to a Kill]]", and the string sounds of "[[Come Undone (Duran Duran song)|Come Undone]]" and "[[Ordinary World (song)|Ordinary World]]" are some of his most recognisable creations, as well as the futuristic oscillating synth that characterised Duran Duran's self-titled first album. He popularised the [[Crumar]] Performer on the early records.

Rhodes was also quick to recognise the potential of the music video, and pushed the band to put more effort into their early videos than seemed warranted at the time (before the advent of MTV). Barely twenty when the band hit major stardom, he cultivated an androgynous and sometimes flamboyant image, wore heavy makeup, and changed his hair colour at whim. By the late 1990s, Rhodes had begun writing lyrics for Duran Duran, as well as music. His digitally altered voice is heard on the title track to the 1997 album ''[[Medazzaland]]''.

==Record production==
[[File:Nick Rhodes on stage (2015).JPG|thumb|Rhodes performing on stage in 2015]]
Rhodes studied production techniques while in the studio with Duran Duran, eventually helping to mix several tracks on the ''[[Rio (Duran Duran album)|Rio]]'' album, and was a co-producer on many of the band's later albums.

In early 1983, he discovered the band [[Kajagoogoo]] and co-produced both their debut single "Too Shy" which became a UK no. 1 (prior to any of Duran's singles reaching no. 1) and their debut album [[White Feathers]].<ref name="movers">{{cite book|last1=Rees|first1=Dafydd|first2=Luke |last2=Crampton|title=Rock movers & shakers|publisher=ABC-Clio Inc|year=1991|page=1944|isbn=978-0-87436-661-7|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=t5oYAAAAIAAJ&q=%2B%22Nick+Rhodes%22+%2B%22duran+duran%22}}</ref>

Rhodes and [[Warren Cuccurullo]] wrote and produced three tracks for the [[Blondie (band)|Blondie]] reunion album in 1996;<ref name="rollingstone2">{{cite journal|issn=0006-2510|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zA4EAAAAMBAJ&q=%2B%22Nick+Rhodes%22+%2B%22blondie%22&pg=PA12|title=The Beat|last=Newman|first=Melinda|date=1 February 1997|volume= 109|number=5|journal=[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]|access-date=30 January 2010}}</ref> the tracks were not used, but one song called "Pop Trash Movie" was later recorded by Duran Duran for the 2000 album ''[[Pop Trash]]''.

In 2002, Rhodes co-produced and played additional synthesizers in nine tracks of the album ''[[Welcome to the Monkey House (album)|Welcome to the Monkey House]]'' by [[the Dandy Warhols]]. In 2004 he produced British-based pop group [[Riviera F]] for their debut EP ''[[International Lover]]'', published on Pop Cult/Tape Modern (Rhodes' & Stephen Duffy's label).

==Side projects==
{{BLP unsourced section|date=December 2017}}
With Le Bon, Rhodes formed the side project [[Arcadia (band)|Arcadia]] while Duran Duran was on hiatus in 1985. The band had a moody, keyboard-heavy sound, far more atmospheric than Duran Duran (or the hard rock of the other Duran splinter group of 1985 [John and Andy Taylor], [[The Power Station (band)|the Power Station]]).

The band scored a major hit with "Election Day" and the band's only album, ''[[So Red the Rose]]'', went platinum in the US but was less successful in their native UK. The band never toured and was dissolved when Duran Duran regrouped in 1986. In 1999, Rhodes reunited with Duran Duran's original vocalist, Stephen Duffy, to create new music based on some of the earliest Duran music the two had written together. The result was the album ''Dark Circles'', released under the name [[The Devils (band)|the Devils]]. Also in 1999, Rhodes had a small guest appearance (in voice only) as a Canadian bomber pilot in ''[[South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut]]''.

In 2006 Rhodes and John Taylor collaborated on the compilation album ''[[Only After Dark (album)|Only After Dark]]''. In 2011 Rhodes along with [[Andrew Wyatt]] and [[Mark Ronson]] remixed [[Depeche Mode]]'s "[[Personal Jesus]]" for the British electronic band's remix compilation ''[[Remixes 2: 81–11]]''. Also in 2011, Rhodes wrote the afterword to the award-winning '80s [[7-inch]] vinyl cover art book ''[[Matthew Chojnacki|Put the Needle on the Record]]''.

In March 2013, [[TV Mania]] made up of Rhodes and ex-Duran Duran guitarist Warren Cuccurullo, released ''Bored with Prozac and the Internet?''. Throughout the 1990s, Rhodes worked on this side project with Cuccurullo. To support the launch of the project, Rhodes had an exhibition of his photography, BEI INCUBI (Beautiful Nightmares) at the Vinyl Factory in [[Chelsea, London]] on 7 March 2013.

In 2021, Rhodes collaborated with [[Stewart Bevan]]'s daughter Wendy Bevan on the series of ''Astronomia'' albums.

In 2022, Rhodes collaborated with [[Rob Crow]], [[Roy Mayorga]], [[Aaron Tanner]], and more on a cover of [[the Residents]]' song, "Mahogany Wood".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mykals |first=Kat |date=2024-02-08 |title=Indiana Man to Co-Release Cover of The Residents' 'Mahogany Wood' |url=https://103gbfrocks.com/star-stunted-mahogany-wood/ |access-date=2024-05-04 |website=103GBF |language=en}}</ref>

==Personal life==
Rhodes met Julie Anne Friedman (heiress to the [[Younkers Department Store]] fortune) at a yacht party while on an American tour in 1982, and married her on 18 August 1984. They have one daughter together, Tatjana Lee Orchid (born 23 August 1986). After a brief separation and an attempt to reconcile, they filed for divorce in 1992.<ref name="stannit">{{cite news|url=https://www.questia.com/read/1G1-115890312|title=On The Grid|date=23 April 2004|publisher=[[London Evening Standard]]|access-date=30 January 2010|archive-date=13 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200613004213/https://www.questia.com/read/1G1-115890312/on-the-grid|url-status=dead}}</ref> Rhodes has had several long relationships with various women but has not remarried.

Rhodes, as a former art student, became enamoured with the art world early in his career, making friends with pop-art artist [[Andy Warhol]] and [[the Factory]] crowd, and attending exhibitions worldwide. At the end of 1984, he released his own book of abstract art photographs called ''Interference''.<ref name="cc">{{cite book|title=Creative Camera, issues 241–52|year=1985|page=36|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=b05WAAAAMAAJ&q=%2B%22Nick+Rhodes%22+%2B%22interference%22}}</ref> Many of the photos were displayed at an exhibition at the Hamilton Gallery in London. He continues to showcase photography on occasion, including in British magazines such as ''[[Tatler]]'' and also occasionally appears at the [[Cannes International Film Festival]].

In November 2011, Rhodes received an Honorary Doctorate of Arts degree from the [[University of Bedfordshire]], for his services to the music industry. Rhodes appears in [[Burke's Peerage]] under his second cousin's entry for the family of Lindley-Highfield of [[Ballumbie#Ballumbie Castle|Ballumbie Castle]], being related to the Highfield family through his paternal grandmother, Irene Lavinia Bates (née Highfield).<ref name="Burkes">{{cite web|url=https://www.burkespeerage.com/new_records.php?letter=l|title=Lindley-Highfield of Ballumbie Castle|date=6 October 2010|publisher=[[Burke's Peerage]]|access-date=5 June 2015}}</ref>

Rhodes is a long-time vegetarian, occasionally a [[Pescetarianism|pescatarian]]. In a 2012 interview for the official Duran Duran website he cited Italian, Lebanese, and Indian food as his favourites.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://duranduran.com/2012/rhodes-for-me-london-will-always-be-planet-earth/|title=Rhodes: 'For Me, London Will Always Be Planet Earth'|date=8 September 2012|website=duranduran.com|access-date=20 November 2023}}</ref> He moved to central London two years after Duran Duran found success and continues to reside there.

'''Zachary Charles Hill''' (born December 28, 1979)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blurt-online.com/features/view/233/ |title=ZODIAC DRUM KILLER Zach Hill on Blurt Online |publisher=Blurt-online.com |date=December 9, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120327025847/http://blurt-online.com/features/view/233/ |access-date=2011-10-18|archive-date=March 27, 2012 }}</ref> is an American [[multi-instrumentalist]] and [[visual artist]]. He is best known as the drummer and co-producer of the groups [[Death Grips]], and [[the I.L.Y's]], and as the drummer of [[math rock]] band [[Hella (band)|Hella]].

==Early life==
Zach Hill was born in [[Sacramento, California]] on December 28, 1979. He spent most of his adolescence at his father and uncle's press printing shop, where he was first exposed to [[classic rock]] music.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Lara |first1=Coco |title=Zach Hill |url=https://cocoocd.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/zach-hill/ |website=Coco's OCD}}</ref>

Hill claims that he "started hearing voices in his head telling him to play the drums" when he was about 14 or 15 years old, and bought his first drum set with money he raised with a friend from a garage sale.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Dawson |first=Michael |date=August 2006 |title=Earthship Shreddin' To Hella And Back |url=https://www.moderndrummer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/md321cs.pdf |journal=Modern Drummer |pages=62–75}}</ref> He dropped out of high school at age 15 and moved to [[Nevada City, California]], where he started the band [[Legs on Earth]] with Julian Imsdahl, [[Spencer Seim]], and cousin Josh Hill. Hill later moved to [[San Francisco, California]] where he played drums in the band [[Crime in Choir]] before starting [[Hella (band)|Hella]] in 2001.<ref>{{cite web |last1=King |first1=Tony |title=Midtown Monthly: Interview with Zach Hill |url=https://sargenthouse.tumblr.com/post/7238329427/midtown-monthly-interview-with-zach-hill |website=Sargent House}}</ref>

==Art==
In addition to music, Hill is also a visual artist. He published a fully illustrated book, ''Destroying Yourself is Too Accessible,'' which included the Zach Hill and Holy Smokes album ''Masculine Drugs'' released in 2004 on TNI Books and [[Suicide Squeeze Records]].

The Sacramento, California, art space Fools Foundation ran an exhibition of Hill's art, titled "Poltergeist", from April 1 to April 29, 2006. Parts of the exhibit are visible in the photos accompanying Hill's article in the August 2006 issue of ''[[Modern Drummer]]'' and on the Fools Foundation website.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.foolsfoundation.org/0406 |title=April 2006 |publisher=Foolsfoundation.org |access-date=2011-10-18 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726061411/http://www.foolsfoundation.org/0406 |archive-date=July 26, 2011 |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

==Film==
Hill was said to be working on an original feature film in 2013, which was confirmed to feature late actress [[Karen Black]] in a leading role.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=susTeQpgR9k |title=Bottomless Pit – YouTube |website=www.youtube.com |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151022211654/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=susTeQpgR9k |archive-date=22 October 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref> However, she had died before the film could come into full fruition. A shortened excerpt of the footage was posted on the Death Grips YouTube account in October 2015 in a 15-minute video entitled "Bottomless Pit". It has been rumored that either [[Death Grips]] or Hill's side-project, the I.L.Y's, would be involved with the soundtrack of the film as well.<ref>{{cite web|last=Pelly|first=Jenn|title=Death Grips to Soundtrack Feature Film Directed and Written by Zach Hill, Working on New Album|url=http://pitchfork.com/news/50689-death-grips-to-soundtrack-feature-film-directed-and-written-by-zach-hill-working-on-new-album/|work=Pitchfork|access-date=May 10, 2013|date=May 10, 2013}}</ref>
