Dali

Dali is a Japanese visual kei band that plays cynicism-themed hard rock with simple melodies.

Dali formed in 2005 as part of the indie label UNDER CODE PRODUCTION. Shortly after forming, the band lost three members and officially paused activities for three months to recruit new ones. Shortly after unveiling the new lineup, the band’s new bassist left and was replaced with its original bassist, resulting in the current lineup. Dali was stable until September of 2009, when the band paused activities once again. Dali has announced its revival for January of 2010 and vocalist 苓 (Ren) has announced that he will be starting a temporary band, ロットマン (LOTMAN), in the mean time.
In the end the band disbanded on November 25th, 2012.
