[edit] Trivia
- The band is often mistaken as being Swedish, probably due to the fact that André and David's Swedish mother. In an interview[1] in the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet Nemán says "The band is French". David continues: "Yes, the confusion about our origin is because people are good at making things up. And we have never fought the rumours. I lived in USA for a while, and all of a sudden the band was American."
