About

Dingo is a Finnish rock band formed in 1982 in Pori, led by singer-songwriter Pertti Neumann. Their first two albums, Nimeni on Dingo (1984) and Kerjäläisten valtakunta (1985), each sold over 100,000 copies and triggered a wave of fan hysteria - dubbed 'Dingomania' - that remains unmatched in Finnish pop culture history. The band broke up in 1986, has reunited several times since, and continues to tour; their total Finnish record sales exceed 500,000 copies.
