From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

bob hund is a six-piece rock band from Sweden. Swedish for "bob dog" - their name was borrowed from a television cartoon character. Their music, hard to classify, is by some described as "a frantic celebration of the power of music to invigorate and give life."

The indie rock band started in autumn 1991 and the group as it is known today was formed within about half a year. The group consists of singer Thomas Öberg, guitarists Johnny Essing and Conny Nimmersjö, bassist Mats Hellquist, Jonas Jonasson on the synth, and Mats Andersson on drums.

bob hund have performed all over Scandinavia as well as in Poland and England. Some of their most notable performances have been at the Roskilde, Hultsfred, Ruisrock and Quart music festivals.

In August, 2006, they announced two concerts as bob hund. This ends the band members pause from bob hund, which they have had since early 2003.

From 2003 to 2006 the bandmembers' focus has been directed towards Bergman Rock, which is the band's English language side project, which has recently released its second album, Bonjour baberiba pt II.

In 2005, Thomas Öberg and Jonas Jonasson started a DJ-duo named Sci-Fi SKANE, whose primary goal is to "create stupidity and dance." They produced an album the autumn of that year, called Känslan av att jorden krymper, växer (roughly translated: The feeling of the earth shrinking, increasing).
