- Sven Gali was a hard rock/glam metal band which originally started as a cover band in 1987 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Shortly after, they earned a reputation for their amazing and energetic live shows. They began writing their own material and were quickly signed to BMG Music, where they recorded their self-titled debut album. Their first album was a huge Canadian hit. The album was a solid hard rock album that had a similar sound to that of Skid Row. The album included the hits "Under The Influence," "Tie Dyed Skies," "In My Garden," and the love ballad, "Love Don't Live Here Anymore," which became a massive hit that still gets played regularly on Canadian radio. They made four music videos, all of which were on regular rotation on Much Music. The band was also featured in many hard rock magazines that were popular at the time. The 1993 Juno Awards recognized Sven Gali and they were nominated for two awards, “Most Promising Group”, and “Hard Rock Album Of The Year”. Even with the massive success of their debut album, it was the mid-'90s and with the popularity of grunge music taking over the world, it seemed as though '80s style hard rock was on the way out. The band moved to Seattle briefly to re-invent their sound and record their follow up album, In Wire. In Wire featured all original members with the exception of new drummer Mike Ferguson. It also featured guest musicians Chris Thorn of Blind Melon, and Candlebox's Kevin Martin and Scott Mercado. Old Sven Gali fans did not respond well to their change of sound and the new album did not gain a lot of success in the grunge world. Shortly after the release of In Wire in 1995, the band disbanded. Before the band broke up, they wrote a third album but it was never released. On August 11, 2007, Sven Gali reunited and played live for the first time in over 12 years at The Moose N Goose in Thorold, Ontario, Canada. The concert was recorded and is planned to be released on DVD in the near future.
