Caligula (band)


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, guitarist James McKinnon, drummer Dave Macken, Jamie Fonti, and bass guitarist Sean Fonti. The band also included Dave Ross and Mitchell Foley as founding members.
Caligula toured and supported Depeche Mode, Pop Will Eat Itself, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, The Beastie Boys, Buzzcocks, Carter USM, Jesus Jones, Scatterbrain, and Ride, as well as many different Australian acts.
In 1994, they released the album Rubenesque and received national airplay on Triple J and Triple M with the songs "Tears of a Clown", "Before" and "Roundabout".
Ashley Rothschild left Caligula, leading to their demise. The Fonti Brothers then created the band Primary with singer Connie Mitchell. Rothschild currently fronts the bands Panic Syndrome and Graveyard Rock Stars and teaches at Big Music Studios in Crows Nest.
In 2018 the band reunited to support Pop Will Eat Itself on the East Coast dates of their Australian tour.
