The group was the first signing to Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson's Acid Jazz record label. The original members were Rob Gallagher (vocals - credited as Roberto Galliano), Constantine Weir (vocals), Michael Snaith (The Vibe Controller), and Crispin Robinson (percussion).
Other important members included Valerie Etienne, who participated in the recording of all their albums, along with other musicians such as Mick Talbot on keyboards, Crispin Taylor on drums, Ernie McKone on bass guitar, Mark Vandergucht on guitar, and Steve Ameedee, otherwise known as Uncle Big Man (dancer). Ski Oakenfull replaced Mick Talbot on keyboards in 1994. The band split in November 1997 after musical differences over the direction of travel, with Crispin Taylor starting a Cliff Richard cover band. The band announced a return in 2023, including a new album and several live gigs.
Career
The group's first single, a reworking of Curtis Mayfield's Freddie's Dead called Frederick Lies Still, was released in June 1988. It was also the first release on the Acid Jazz label. Their second release was on Let the Good Times Roll by The Quiet Boys in 1989. The Quiet Boys was an alias used by acid jazz pioneer Chris Bangs who then went on to produce Galliano.
Galliano's first album release was In Pursuit of the 13th Note in 1991, which was produced by Bangs. Their second album A Joyful Noise Unto the Creator was released in 1992. Galliano achieved the peak of its success in 1994 with The Plot Thickens, which peaked at number eight in the UK Albums Chart. Two UK top 40 singles were released from the album: Long Time Gone (a cover of a David Crosby song from the self-titled first album by Crosby, Stills & Nash) and Twyford Down. The latter was a comment on the road building protests taking place at the time and the protest at Twyford Down in particular, and they were joined onstage by anti-roads protestors to make appeals to the audience. The album was well-received, making the NME's list of top 50 albums of the year. Following its release, Galliano performed on the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury Festival in 1994 and returned to play the NME Stage in 1995. Galliano's fourth and final studio album :4 was released in 1996. This included the track, Slack Hands, which was used in the title sequence of Kevin Reynolds' 1997 film, One Eight Seven, starring Samuel L. Jackson. Galliano broke up in 1997. Gallagher together with Etienne formed Two Banks of Four. Gallagher also performs solo using the names Earl Zinger, William Anderson and together with Alex Patchwork as The Diabolical Liberties.
In the spring of 2023, Galliano announced a return, including a new album and a few live gigs in the summer that year. The band played twice at Gilles Peterson's "We Out Here" festival in August 2023, playing covers of Harvest for the World and Uptown Top Ranking alongside their original material.

Currently reading Gods And Kings. The Rise And Fall Of Alexander McQueen And John Galliano, by Dana Thomas. I highly recommend!
@understitchYT
I concur, a bloody phenomenal book, really interesting to see how their lives and careers paralleled each other
@scpatl4now
I just bought it over on Audible. I look forward to listening to it (my preferred method for books) while I work.
@understitchYT
@@scpatl4now Im also a huge audiobooker, I really recommend Scribd if you don't already have a subscription
@danathomas2845
@@understitchYT Thank you.
@DaltonPorter
Just purchased that to read! Sounds fascinating. Is that where the text references are from in this vid? Love it and thank u for sharing these incredible analyses! <3
@juanpalomares748
Quick reminder: John Galliano is still one of the most prollific and gifted designers in history and is steadily coming back to us! Maison Margiela Artisanal Collection 2024 is by far one of my favorite collections this season and a true statement of John's creative and theatrical prowess.
@understitchYT
100% an incredibly talented man. That is undeniable and unshakeable
@fashionlove
I have always been a fan of John Galliano's work. The collections he created at Dior are just marvelous.
@understitchYT
Hes so exceptionally talented, what has happened to his brand is so unfair
