Dry Lips. The video is directed by Uffe Truust (www.uffetruust.com) and was filmed in our home town Skive in March 2007. It took two stormy nights to shoot the video (We haven't used any wind-or rain machines.). Enjoy!
Having existed since 2001, and having played more than 300 shows in- and outside of Denmark, The Skive-based band Dúné have evolved into a powerful army of musicians, creating a potent hybrid of high-energy rock, sharp synths, crisp guitars and catchy melodies, all mixed in a genre that Dúné has dubbed Indielectrock.
1988
Malte and Cille are born only days apart on the local hospital in Skive, Denmark, and barely six months later, Mattias and Malte first meet – in the local swimming pool, where their mothers have brought them.
2001 – 2003
After having played their instruments in their rooms, the three classmates Mattias, Malte and Simon decide to start a band. The youngsters meet Anne Cecilie, who play the piano, sing, and play a mean guitar – an ability that immediately spark the interest of the three boys. One year prior to this event, Piotrek had arrived to Denmark from Poland, and didn't speak a word of Danish, but the band notice his skills on classical guitar. The band already have a guitarist, so they ask Piotrek to join on the bass. Soon after, the debut concert is held in the living room of Mattias' parents.
The band play a series of concerts in Skive, but eventually, they play away from home – in a small town between the cities of Skive and Viborg. A local band, led by Ole and Danny are also playing that night. The band from Skive doesn't care much for the other band, but after a short time they discover that they actually have a lot in common. Soon after, Danny and Ole's band brake up, but the band from Skive discovers that the two boys also has a love of Kraftwerk, Sex Pistols, Depeche Mode, Devo, New Order, The Hives, Kliché, The Prodigy, The Strokes, The Cure, Daft Punk, Blur, Interpol, Joy Division, Muse, The Police, David Bowie and Gang Of Four (just to mention a few), and that gives them a wildcard to the rehearsal room in Skive. Dúné is a reality!
2004 - 2005
Having a huge appetite for music, combined with a very serious working mentality, the band works hard when rehearsing and playing live. They play any stage they can, despite none of band members being old enough to drive. It doesn't take long before people start to take notice of the extremely energetic young band.
Dúné play concerts with UK act Art Brut, and Danish bands as The Fashion, Moon Gringo and Tiger Tunes, who they team up with to to a remix, found on Dúné's very first EP.
Besides playing live, the band continues to write new material, which is recorded continuously for their two first EP's that the band finance themselves. The EP are well received, and Kristian Riis from Music Export Denmark write:
”The EP is the first building-stone in a long and promising career on the Danish and international stage. Despite the age of the band members, Dúné has managed to create an exiting platform to present their music from, and the EP is refreshing, and an exiting encounter.”
The rumours start circulating – even beyond the Danish border. Dúné travel to Norway and Sweden a few times, and even play a gig in Germany.
2006
Dúné kicks off the year by performing at the Spot Festival – Denmark’s "biggest showcase". Packing the large Train venue, they are awarded an incredible six out of six stars in Denmark’s most influential music magazine Gaffa.
Next stop is the prestigious Roskilde Festival, where the band played in front of an audience of more than 3000 people on the Pavilion Junior stage. This concert is awarded five out of six stars by another Danish music magazine, Soundvenue.
The concert at Spot brings a lot of international attention to the band, and Dúné is ”Band Of The Week” in the renowned newsletter from US-based A&R Worldwide. The band is subsequently playlisted on a number of US, UK and German radio stations. Many of the radio stations still have the band playlisted today. The international interest brings the band to London during a vacation in the fall, where they play three showcases. Having just arrived home, they are informed that they are nominated for the ”Best new talent” award at the televised P3 Gold Awards in Copenhagen – and they are also asked to play live at the show!
At the award show, Dúné premiers their first single 'Bloodlines', and the song immediately becomes ”Track of the week” on Denmark’s biggest radio station DRP3. The song also goes straight to number one on the Danish Video Chart 'Liga.dk' and on the download portals it is featured on – including iTunes.
The band didn't notice the sudden fame. They have barricaded themselves in a tiny Randers studio to record their debut album. Joining them is UK producer Mark Willis (The Blue Van a.o.) and his Danish associate Dan Hougesen.
2007
2007 starts out in the studio, only interrupted by a performance at by:LARM in Norway and at the Eurosonic Festival in Holland, where Dúné packs the legendary VERA venue. Shortly thereafter, Dúné makes a licensing agreement with Sony/BMG Germany for the release of Dúné in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and is followed by a number of concerts in Germany, where the album is due at the end of the year.
In April, the bags are packed for L.A., where Dúné has been invited to play at the popular and renowned conference/showcase MUSEXPO.
May 29th 2007 Dúné released thieir debut album ”We Are In There, You Are Out Here” was released in Denmark at Iceberg Records, and the band is getting ready for the summer festivals – again to play both Spot and Roskilde, but also numerous other Danish, Norwegian and German festivals.
September the 28th Dúnés releases their debut in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Japan. In October they are nominated at MTV'S EMA for 'BEST DANISH ACT', and three weeks after their supports MUSE, Motherbrother and Foo Fighters - all with in a week!
2008
The year 2008 starts out “receiving the most important award in Denmark, ‘The P3 Guld Award’ and 100.000 DKK. from the Danish National Radio, DR P3.
Les then a moth after receiving the P3 Guld award Dùné receives three Grammies:
- ‘Best Danish Rock Album’
- ‘Best Danish Band’
- ‘Newcommers Of The Year’
More over Dúné receives two awards from the biggest Danish Music Magazine, GAFFA as ‘Best Band Of The Year’ and ‘Newcommer Band Of The Year’ and are for the first time on the cover of GAFFA.
In February and March 2008 Dúné are touring Denmark, Germany and Austria with sold out concerts every night.
In March Dúné signs with Columbia/Sony/BMG for the rest of Europe and with the biggest Japanese indie record label, Dreamusic, for release of the debut in Japan.
In June 2008 all the band members in Dúné graduated from High School and was set free for the rock’n’roll life! During the summer Dúné toured several festivals in most of Europe. In August they went to Japan on a promo tour to do interviews on television, radio etc.
The future will bring a lot of new exciting experiences including touring in Japan, concerts on Trafalgar Square and on the music exhibition ‘Musexpo’ in London and album release in Sweden.
