Formed 2000 in Stockholm, Sweden by Messrs. Carl Lindstrand (lead vocals, keyboards, talkbox, harmonica) and David Jönsson Tronner (trumpet, vocals) as a cover project playing esoteric material from the annals of jazz and funk inspired popular music (including, but not limited to, Steely Dan, Chase, Blood Sweat and Tears, Tower of Power and The Meters) Funky Oswald rapidly started writing and performing its own material.

Funky Oswald now exclusively performs its own original material with an emphasis on ironic lyrics, outrageous rythms, funky vamping and an unrestrainable horn section.
