Herman Dune @ Òran Mór, 14 Dec

Last time Herman Dune played Glasgow, I Wish That I Could See You Soon was the pearl in their heart-warming set. Well, with a new album comes a new tour, and while their time away hasn't been too long, a few things have changed for the band. While the removal of the umlaut in Dune probably won’t faze many punters, the absence of Andre from Next Year in Zion risked jeopardising the band’s winning dynamic. But with songs as strong as Baby Baby You’re My Baby to show off, live they should most definitely live up to their reputation for doling out delightful slabs of quirky pop. [Chris Buckle]
