About

Dúné [Dew-nay] were a Danish rock band from Skive. At their split-up in 2018 the band consisted of Mattias Kolstrup (lead vocalist), Piotrek Wasilewski (bass, keyboards, backing vocals), and Ole Bjórn (keyboards, backing vocals, production). Their style was comparable to British and American electronic rock and resembles elements of 1980s pop music and 1970s post-punk blend with a distinct and modern Scandinavian touch. The band was best known for their entertaining and energetic live performances.

The band released four studio albums: We Are In There You Are Out Here (2007), Enter Metropolis (2009),Wild Hearts (2013) and Delta (2016) and toured extensively around the world and supported acts like Muse, Foo Fighters, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, and the German group Die Ärzte around Europe.
Dúné's won a number of music prices including three Danish Music Awards (Best Group, Best Rock Album & Best Newcomer), the P3 Gold Prize, the 2008 European Border Breaking Award (for best selling debut album outside of Denmark), plus various other awards. In 2008, We Are In There You Are Out Here was voted Album of the Year (2007) by the readers of Soundvenue and "Dry Lips" was voted the best Danish pop song of the last 20 years by the readers of PopLick.
