Caligula (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Caligula were a band from Sydney, Australia, who produced techno-grunge music in the early 1990s and achieved some national success.

Caligula was composed of five members: vocalist Ashley Rothschild, guitarists James McKinnon, drummer Dave Macken, Jamie Fonti (keyboards and backing singer), and bass guitarist Sean Fonti. The band also included Mitchell Foley at one stage.

In 1994, they released the album Rubenesque and received national airplay on Triple J and Triple M with the songs Tears Of A Clown (a remake of the Smokey Robinson & The Miracles song), Before and Roundabout.

Ashley Rothschild left Caligula, leading to their demise. The Fonti Brothers then created the band Primary with singer Connie Mitchell.
