Swindler produces a fresh and original sound that integrates funk, jazz and psychedelic rock into a masterful sonic tapestry. Their innovative approach makes each live experience compelling and unique. The band continues to expand an already rapidly growing fanbase with
each show. Funk based grooves, tight melodic arrangements and strong instrumental improvisation all create a vibe that brings the dance floor alive.
Based in Seattle, they have toured extensively throughout the northwest and beyond. Swindler has been a favorite late night festival band featured at Northwest String Summit Festival, Summer Meltdown Festival, Cascade Equinox Festival, Element Music Festival, 4 Peaks Music Festival and more where they drew rave reviews from fans and festival promoters alike. Swindler has shared the bill with numerous national touring acts and regional favorites such as Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Pink Talking Fish, Kung Fu, Jerry Joseph and many others.
Funkatopia named “Lego my ego” named as one of their 20 best funk albums of 2023!
“Swindler is a newcomer to the Funkatopia Best Funk list, but we have a feeling it won’t be their last appearance. Their latest album Lego My Ego is easy to see that the album was heavily inspired by The Meters as evidenced by the opening track Dizzy.
Based in Seattle, Washington like the aforementioned Polyrhythmics, it’s becoming evident that Seattle is slowly becoming less of a breeding ground for grunge and more of a hotbed for funk.
The album is embedded with funk jam sessions that all take on many different faces and styles as each song progresses. It’s perfect for people who like to vibe out while they work, but want their music based on a strong funk groove. This will become your go-to."
