Apologies for the weak pun, and apologies to those Canucks who rely on a U.S.-based internet music zine for their tour news, because you have indeed missed some Herman Dune shows. Perhaps you should keep more of an eye out, so then next time you won't miss out on the sassy musical stylings of David-Ivar and Neman Herman Dne again. I don't know, maybe you were worried about the polar bears or yo...

I literally know nothing about Herman Dune besides this song "I Wish That I Could See You Soon." Still, it's a really cute, catchy song so I'm posting on them anyway. Herman Dune just announced a North American tour with Jolie Holland (and Throw Me the Statue on one show). They've got a Louisville date, [...]~~

Words and Pictures by Kirstie ShanleyDavid-Ivar Herman Düne has a problem. You see, he’s really a superhero and he has to find a way to tell his girlfriend. It’s a good thing he’s an apt lyricist or there’d be no hope for the situation at all. It’s topics like these that separate French duo Herman Düne from other bands concentrating heavily on the singer/songwriter format. The idiosyncra

Even before I knew the duo behind Herman Dune were Jewish, I had my suspicions. There's a Eastern European folk sensibility and a self-deprecating humor at work on the 123/Apple Tree EP that's unmistakable. Well, that and dudes have a song about naming their dog after Golda Meir. Isaac Bashevis Singer would've been all over this. The title track calls attention to their religious heritage w...

(A belated review of Herman Düne at the Nottingham Rescue Rooms)..I was worried about seeing the Düne again. Firstly, André has left the group. Secondly, I had heard "mixed":http://mog.com/aedjp/blog_post/48227#comment-260965 reviews about their latest material. .There was no need concerned about the lack of André. This may sound like I am dismissing his contribution to the band - far from it.

No-one's written anything on Herman Dune yet. I've been mogging for over half a year, and _I_ haven't written anything yet. Tut. Well, I'm designating this week *Herman Dune Week*, and I'll try to write something interesting related to the band every day for seven days. Given my track record of one or two month gaps between posts, it's unlikely that I'll succeed. Maybe it'll be a virtual week o...
