The Danish group Dúné (pronounced “dew-nay”) are true students of rock & roll history, incorporating into their sound the high-energy rock of the ’60s, the punk explosion of the ’70s, the synth-based pop of the ’80s and the indie aesthetic of the ’90s, all coming together to form a glorious mishmash that they’ve dubbed “Indielectrock.” Though some of the members started playing together as early as 2001, it wasn’t until 2006 that Dúné began to attract attention outside of Denmark. A gig at the local SPOT Festival garnered a rave review from Gaffa, Denmark’s most influential music magazine, while a slot on the famed Roskilde Festival later in the year sparked international interest and subsequently lead to three showcases in London in the fall of that year. They started the year 2007 in the studio, taking time out only for acclaimed performances at the Eurosonic Festival in Holland, where they won over many of the international tastemakers in attendance. After those appearances they released their debut album, We Are In There, You Are Out Here, through indie Iceberg Records, which subsequently signed a licensing agreement with SonyBMG for a release in the Germany/Austria/Switzerland territories.
