There are two bands with the name "Tango in the Attic: 1) An American country band featuring members Eileen, Jim, Brian and Gosamer. 2) An indie band from Scotland.

Taking heed from such bands as The Strokes and Vampire Weekend, their sound can be described as a Scottish version of East Coast Garage.

Sex Gang Children is an early gothic rock group that formed in the early 1980s in Britain. They were a very dramatic band, relying on heavy bass, tribal drumming, sudden mood shifts, a woozy cabaret ready sound that influenced the rise of the later dark cabaret scene, and yet another in a long line of goth singers with an odd, highly dramatic voice. Although the group only released one official album, their singles and various other tracks have been packaged into numerous collections, and they remain one of the better known bands out of the early goth scene.
