...guitarists piece together a surf-rock riff, while the bass (Amanda Braden) roots the song's fervent movement with hard-driving chords. In "The Phone, the Phone," sisters Lynette and Carla blend two different vocal styles and come up with a wonderfully complementary sound. One sister repeats the chorus as the other sarcastically murmurs, "I'm up here in my room again, listening to my entire record collection...Duran Duran are my only friends...

Now he's making his long-overdue U.S. stage debut, in a Broadway production of David Hare's Skylight.
