2008–2010
Tango In The Attic formed in early 2008 in Glenrothes, Fife. The band's members are influenced by various artists. Using guitars, vintage organs, saxophones and random percussion, they give energetic and engaging live performances, and have been described as "Vampire Weekend-esque".
The band played 2009's T In The Park festival's Tbreak tent, followed by a live session on Vic Galloway's BBC Radio One show. Their track, "Jackanory" was used on Schuh’s first television advertisement, which was broadcast throughout the UK. They also released the double A-side single, "Blunderground" b/w "Be A Familiar".
Band Lineup
Prior to the creation of Tango in the Attic's 2012 album Sellotape, Daniel Craig decided to leave the band citing difficulties regarding the more extensive touring which was planned for the upcoming album. Rather than replace Daniel the band made the decision to remain as a four-piece with Jordan taking over vocal duties.
