Baložu Pilni Pagalmi is an indie rock band formed in Rīga, Latvia. They definitely are one of the most melodic bands in Latvia at the moment. All their songs are more or less romantic and melodic love songs.
The band was formed in 1994. Its primary founder was Māris Šverns, who plays guitar and sings. The bass was played by Juris Mežeckis and the drummer was Uldis Gedra. The band was a very active participant in all concerts of the time, and soon released their first album - Cik Dīvaini. In 1995, Juris Alksnis joins the band. Very soon Baložu Pilni Pagalmi becomes the most popular band from Tornis label besides Kartāga. Baložu Pilni Pagalmi play very melodic rock, practically only on the theme of love.
Now Baložu Pilni Pagalmi is one of the most active bands in Latvia with an impressive discography. They have released eight albums - Cik Dīvaini (How Curiously; 1994), Skaties! (Watch!; 1995), Esi ar Mani (Be with Me; 1996), Vēstules (Letters; 1998), Zabete Baro Baložus (Zabete Feeds Pigeons; 1999), Jauni Iespaidi (New Impressions; 2001), Runā ar Mani (Talk to Me; 2004), and Esi Sveiks (Howdy; 2007).
