cali≠gari

Formed in the early 1990s, cali≠gari is a Japanese visual kei band known for their avant-garde and often controversial musical style that incorporates elements of punk, new wave, and gothic rock. The band's name, which is a nod to the German expressionist film "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," captures their penchant for eccentricity and theatrics, both in their music and performances. Over the years, cali≠gari has built a dedicated fan base that has stuck with them through various hiatuses and lineup changes.

Their most recent musical endeavors include singles such as "dakara KYOTO ha kiraidesu" and "Good bye (asukano drama ver.)," which demonstrate the band's continued commitment to creating music that pushes boundaries and challenges the status quo. The band's discography, which includes the mini-album "16," and varied releases like "A.B.C. for busy people" and "Ah Gekiteki/Sakeme no Me," is a testament to their wide-ranging aesthetic and a refusal to be pigeonholed into any singular genre. With their music, cali≠gari continues to explore social themes and human emotion, offering a unique blend of the dramatic and the introspective.
