Dingo is a Finnish rock band formed around 1984 which fused Finnish melancholy with catchy pop melodies. Dingo's hit number one was Autiotalo . It soon became very popular. They even formed a separate youth culture in Finland, the Dingos. The craze however lasted only a couple of years and Dingo broke up in October 1986. It regrouped in 1998 and continues to perform occasionally. A collection of Dingo hits released in 1999 was very successful, which indicates that at least part of the newest generation of listeners have found the group.

The original members of Dingo were known as Neumann, Pepe, Pete, Jonttu and Keijo Q (nicknamed "Quuppa"). The real name of Neumann, the lead singer, was originally Pertti Nieminen but he later officially changed it to Pertti Neumann .
