History
Kaan began writing songs for the Turkish Rock band he would go on to form while living in Seattle in the early 1990s, and performing with a band called Mad Madame. Upon returning to Turkey, he reunited with former classmate Ari and his bandmate in the Blue Blues Band, Batuhan. Together they formed Duman. After an initial search for a drummer, they decided to work with session musicians. They predominantly worked with drummer Alen Konakoğlu prior to their last album.

Discography
Eski Köprünün Altında (1999)
Belki Alışman Lazım (2002) (translation Maybe You Need To Get Used To It) is the second studio album. It includes several songs that became hits in Turkey, being regularly played on local radio and TV.

Many of the songs from this Album also appear on Duman's live CD and DVD Konser.
Most people got to know Duman, especially after their cover of the famous Sezen Aksu song “Herşeyi Yak” was released, but the publicization of the band’s hits date back to at least 2000.
Duman are the only well-known representators of Seattle’s grunge-rock music, -led in the 1990’s by Nirvana, Pearl Jam-, in our country, however with an alla-turca guitars and vocals combination.
From the first appearance of Kaan Tangöze, the leading vocalist of the band on the stage, you could say that he was too “high” to make the audience have a normal music night in the first place.
