Herman Dune announces US tour with Jolie Holland
about 1 year ago

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, [...]~~

First Look: Herman Dune - 123/Apple Tree EP
about 1 year ago

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...

Soft shoes and Swedish Cowbells. Herman Düne week, Day Three

Blog post image preview

(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.

Herman Dune Week
over 2 years ago

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...

Multiple Degrees Of Separation
over 2 years ago

I shared a room with Gavin at college. We originally shared because it meant we could choose which rooms we got, rather than run the gauntlet of the Single Room Lottery. There were two double rooms above the canteen which nobody wanted because they were out on a limb and not on a "corridor". We got four guys together to share the two rooms and had a ball for a term.Gavin and I shared for a seco...

over 2 years ago

My Herman Düne week continues, evolving in unexpected ways..Today I received an email from André Herman Düne.I'd emailed both André and David-Ivar with a view to carrying out an "interview" via email, for day five or day six of the week. David-Ivar has been too busy to respond, but I managed to ask him a couple of questions at the gig. André responded quite promptly, reminding me that he had

Herman Düne with Julie Doiron: 29 October 2009 - Lincoln Hall, Chicago (Notes from the Road)
19 days ago

Words and Pictures by Kirstie ShanleyDavid-Ivar Herman Dne 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 Dne from other bands concentrating heavily on the singer/songwriter format. The idiosyncra
