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...

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, [...]~~

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...
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...
