(1999 – present)

Herman Düne is an indie/antifolk band with roots in Sweden, France, Switzerland and Israel, formed in 1999. The current band line-up consists of David-Ivar Herman Düne (guitars and vocals) and Neman Herman Düne (drums and sometimes backing vocals). Néman, who is not from France but Switzerland, replaced former drummer Omé in early 2001. Former member André Herman Düne left the band amicably, playing their last show together on December 13th, 2006. André now performs under the pseudonym Stanley Brinks.

Herman Dune have worked with several other bands and singers such as Julie Doiron, leah hayes, and Laura Hoch.

Although the band has nine official albums, they have worked on many side projects, some of which include Kungen, Ben Haschish, Ben Dope, John Trawlings, fountain boats, Satan’s Fingers, and Fast Ganz. They have also played as the backing band for recordings by Julie Doiron (ex-Eric’s Trip) and Kimya Dawson (ex-Moldy Peaches). Both André and David-Ivar have also released numerous solo CDs (mostly self-released CDRs). André and David-Ivar each contributed a song to the 2006 album by Françoiz Breut, Une Saison Volée.

Is there anybody that really know the reason why the split ? about their nationality i'd like to say: their life and their music is denying the concept of nationality itself. they are the quintessence of contemporary trobadours stateless rambling and singing across the globe. anyway, here my guesses about their roots by listening to their lyrics: their mum is/was an artist coming from a cultivated swedish family, lived a for a long time abroad especially in France, their dad is/was a doctor, maybe french. they seem to have a connection with jewish culture (maybe through their dad?). of course they are not American, as u could tell by their not-native English accent but they are fascinated by American popular culture and they spent a lot of time in the US, especially and NYC. Now Yaya (David) is living in Paris and André in Berlin. As I told u these are just guesses, so if u can confirm or add, would be nice.

Nah! With lyrics like "when night falls on Hoboken". They're having us on. I think they're from West Virginia or somewhere.

Ha! What do you mean "surely they're American"? David and Andre and French (with Swedish and Israeli heratige) and Neman is Swiss. Not American at all.

"...with roots in Sweden, France, Switzerland and Israel..". I don't buy that. Surely they're American!
