The farewell gig takes place just a stone’s throw from the rehearsal room where Bob Hund took their first steps together.
– This is absolutely the last chance for everyone who has been walking around wondering if they might want to see a Bob Hund concert, a real rock concert with a riot fence, and the last chance for everyone who has already seen us play 115 times, says Jonas Jonasson in the group, to DN.
777 concerts in total
After being formed in 1991, Bob Hund became part of the Swedish indie pop scene of the 90s where the center was Skånegatan in Stockholm. But the band differed from their contemporary rivals by drawing influences from widely different quarters, from Iggy Pop, Kraftwerk and American surf rock from the 60s and then mixing it all with a clear Scanian touch in singer Thomas Öberg.
Bob Hund first became big in student circles and reached a breakthrough in 1996 with the second album “Omslag: Martin Kann”, which gave Thomas Öberg a Grammy for the lyrics, via Trackslistan and ZTV performances.
For a period, the group also had an English edition, Bergman Rock.
Since the beginning, the band has given more than 700 concerts, released 15 albums, several EPs and more than two dozen singles.
