Historiography of the group:

In April 1996, through combination of circumstances or providence, the guitarist Valeri and the bass-guitarist Joro from the Royal Flush band and the piano-player Grudi and the drummer Jony from the Alligators got together for performance in Arizona Club. Their first rehearsal is right on the stage. The auditory fell into ecstasies and the musicians played as if they have played together in all their lives. This is how the future band “Royal Alligators” was born. The name is a compilation of the names of the bands in which the musicians have played by that time. Valjo and George made another 6-month tour in Norway with their old band and the official promotion of the new band, The Royal Alligators, was in Arizona Club on Christmas Day in December 1996. The musicians triumphed in the course of the whole 1997 in many elite clubs such as the Library in Sofia, the Fregata historical ship in Sunny Beach Resort and made many concert performances. They received job offers from American shipping companies in Norway, Italy and Russia. 

In the beginning of 1998 Grudi decided to create a boy band called Boys’ World and that is the reason why he parted from the “alligators”. In his place came the masterly pianist Miro. With his coming the band changed its style from melody rock to more progressive and hard rock. We may say this is a universal band as regards styles. The band successful performs songs of Tom Jones, Elvis Presley, Bon Jovi, Toto and many others. In 1998 almost any elite club was conquered in Bulgaria. 

In the summer of 1998 the “alligators” met their future manager Norbert Nieke from Hamburg. In the atmosphere of friendly conversations he decided to invite the band for performances in clubs in Hamburg. Thus, on 31st December 1998 was the first performance of the band in Germany in the Aspeloe – Norderstedt Sports Complex. Eloquent for the successes of the Royal Alligators in Germany is the fact that from the initially fixed three performances another dozens appeared and they prolonged the tour of the band for two clear months. 

In the following years the band established itself as one of the best and most interesting formations on the club market mostly in Hamburg. The year of 2000 is turning for the classic quartet. Being traditionally men’s group till then it accepted the exceptional dramatic soprano voice of Danny. Daniela conquered the boys from the band with her exceptional voice and skills of singing. The range and the timbre of her voice allow Danny to easily feature songs from the repertoire of Areta Franklin, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, etc. The so-formed quintet took part in a job competition in Norway in August 2000 and won an invitation and contracts for November the same year. 

In Norway the Royal Alligators worked in renowned hotels and locals such as Radisson SAS Hotel Lillehamer, Alexandra Hotel in Loen, etc. Parallel to this the band continued its traditional performances with a huge success in the most popular clubs in Hamburg that, after 2001, were the greatest challenge. The band’s repertoire covers a wide range of style characteristics. From the music of the 60s – Olivia Newton John, John Travolta to the songs of Metallica and Red Hot Chili Peppers. In 2002 the members of the band started working on their own songs to reveal the musicians’ rich potentiality as well as their creative gropings and visions.
