Cali Gari (stylized as cali≠gari) is a Japanese visual kei experimental rock band formed with the concept erotic grotesque.[1]

History

Cali Gari was founded in 1993[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 paused activities after their last concert on June 22, 2003.[3]

During the band's 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 became is a live support member for Coaltar of the Deepers.

In June 2009, the band reunited on stage at Zepp Tokyo[4] and released a greatest hits album and a live DVD later that year.[5] Their official fan club reopened in spring 2010.[6]

The band's first post-reunion album, 10, was released on August 26, 2009,[7] along with the double single, "9 -tou- hen" and "9 School Zone hen", released a month earlier.[8] This marked the first full-length album from the band in 6 years.

In March 2020, Cali Gari was set to go on a joint tour with deadman.[9] However, those dates were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. The tour eventually took place in June 2021, during which the two bands released the collaborative song "Shikeidai no Elevator".[10][11]
