Hello, we're Tango In The Attic! Essentialy we're five guys in our early twenties who, having grown up together in the small Scottish town of Glenrothes, formed a band whilst studying at Edinburgh University.
We found some practice space under a vintage clothes shop where we really started to develop our sound. Borrowing antique organs from grandparents, thieving cowbells from unsuspecting farmers and grabbing every unused table lamp we could get our hands on, we created an instrumental and ambient environment that has contributed directly to our overall style.
We take influence from the best pop, avant-garde and east coast garage music made over the last forty years. Acts such as Paul Simon sum up for us the art of writing a good pop song in an original way and we admire the pioneering work of bands such as The Velvet Underground for their unique approach to instrumentation and arrangement. Taking heed from these examples, we attempt to write pop songs that are both unobvious but undeniably optimistic, encouraging listeners to engage and enjoy our energetic, uplifting music. We echo this sentiment through our live performance which succeeds in transferring our musical energy to the feet and hips of an ever growing and gratifyingly loyal fan-base.
Our live show has grown from playing small local gigs to touring nationwide. In the summer of 2009 we played several small festivals along side our National festival 'T in the park'. Our performance there was enjoyed by 2000 festival goers who crammed themselves into a packed tent during an already impressive festival line-up. In addition to the public response we received very positive reviews in the national and music press.
In just under 18 months we've established ourselves as one of the freshest and exciting bands in Scotland. This is reflected in the admiration we have received from BBC Radio 1 amongst others in the media. This progression was further established when our song Jackanory was selected by national fashion retailer Schuh as a synchronisation for their latest UK and Ireland wide TV campaign.
We have self released two singles in 2009 which have grown positively in turn and we've a third on the cards before the year is out. With much more coming up in the near future we'll be getting ourselves out on the road up and down the UK in 2010, so catch us if you can!

"They're young, they're fresh, they get sweaty onstage and they make an ace noise! Tango in the Attic combine Vampire Weekends singalongs with Strokes-style riffing topped-off with a real emotional edge. It's all done with Fife accents and tunes to die for! The more I hear from them, the higher I rate them... 'lo-fi east-coast garage' it may be, but that sounds like a very good thing indeed!" - Vic Galloway
Angel City Outcasts – The Clint Eastwood of Rock – are back in Europe! They play a mixture of Rock’n’Roll and Punkrock and deliver such a powerfull straight-in-your-face liveshow you won’t forget. They already shared a stage with Bands like Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, Social Distortion and many more.
