Herman Dune    

Herman Dune is a French duo, formed in 1999. Their song "I Wish That I Could See You Soon" was No. 89 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.

Herman Dune is a Rock & Roll Duo.

The line-up for Herman Dune is now: David-Ivar -- Voice, Song-Writing and Guitars and Neman -- Drums and some backing vocals. David-Ivar is most of the time called Yaya Herman Dune or just Yaya. Neman is now known as Cosmic Neman.

Herman Dune started their career internationally, thanks to UK DJ John Peel who played them a lot and invited them to something like 10 Peel Sessions.

Until 2006, they gained a cult status by touring across the world intensively and releasing a lot of music through independent, punk, DIY or Underground Record labels.

In 2006, the release of "Giant" (Source etc./Virgin) coincided with the band becoming a duo, with Andre taking leave. "Giant" propelled Herman Dune to a wider recognition. They soon recorded and released "Next Year in Zion."

In 2010, Herman Dune cut loose of all previous bonds to start their own Record Company, Strange Moosic. They go record new material in Portland, Oregon with Adam Selzer and released their new songs in an album called "Strange Moosic" (Strange Moosic/G.U.M/City Slang/Fortuna Pop).

"Strange Moosic" is a new start for Herman Dune, and "Tell Me Something I Don't Know," the first single, announces change with a video featuring a young runaway, Yeti, and actor John Hamm from "Mad Men."
