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...
The Herman Dune brothers have announced a new album. To be called Next Year In Zion, songwriter and vocalist David-Ivar Herman Dune and drummer Neman Herman Dune have conjured up a dozen new songs for our delight. Herman Dune habr expand the core duo to include their extended family of female backing vocalists The Babyskins, The John Natchez Bourbon Horn players (on loan from Beirut and Arcade...
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, [...]~~

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...
[10-27-2008] In the interest of full disclosure, I wasn't supposed to write this review. A friend of mine wanted to write for TMT, so I flexed my (near-negligible) muscle and got us on the list for the October 27 Jolie Holland show at Lakeshore Theater. He was supposed to write it up, and I would send it to my editor, and we could all swing up into the saddle and ride off into the sunset. As o...
