Arcadia

Band, 1985-1986
Electronic and Pop
A.k.a. Arcadia

Arcadia were a pop group formed in 1985 by Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, and Roger Taylor of Duran Duran as a side project during a break in that band's schedule. The project was active for just one album, So Red the Rose, which was certified Platinum in the United States and included the hit single "Election Day". Drummer Roger Taylor appeared in only a few band photographs and in none of the music videos, and stated he was only to be involved in the recording side of the project (he also had minor involvement in The Power Station, the other Duran Duran splinter group formed by Duran Duran's Andy and John Taylor alongside Robert Palmer and Tony Thompson of Chic).
