Cali Gari (or cali≠gari) was a Japanese visual kei rock band formed with the concept erotic grotesque.[1]. It was founded in 1992[2] and named after the horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.[1] The band's debut single came out in 1994 and their first major single was "Dai 7 Jikkenshitsu Yokokuban -Maguro-" released April 2002.[3] The band ceased its activities after their last concert on June 22, 2003.[3]
Since the bands hiatus, Shuuji started a solo project called goatbed. Makoto and Ao went to form LAB. THE BASEMENT. Makoto has since quit the band to join Cyanotype. In 2004 Kenjirou went on to join Sex Machineguns for two years and now is a live support member for Coaltar of the Deepers.
As of April 2009, the band has announced a reunion with an upcoming greatest hits album and live DVD. [4] Their official fanclub has also reopened until spring 2010. [5]
