Tango In The Attic are playing the Tbreak Stage, Sunday at1.40pm. Get your Sunday started with these lads who are causing quite a storm on the music scene, after being featured on ads, MTV and CH4. Quite a CV then Tangoers?!...
Hello! We are Tango In The Attic from Glenrothes in Fife. We picked up some instruments and started bashing them about in a small room around a year and a half ago… We continued to do this in other rooms as well as on stages in front of people who so far have seemed to like it. All this bashing has landed us a slot at this year’s T In The Park on the Tbreak stage – nice one! As well as that we’ve released our first single, Jackanory, which was used as the music for Schuh’s first ever TV advert, aired on channel 4, e4, MTV plus a few more. We’ve gigged up and down the UK and have been constantly writing and recording new material. With our next single coming out on July 20th (a split with friends BE A FAMILIAR) and a live session on Radio One with Vic Galloway at the end of July it’s looking like a busy summer!
We can’t wait to play TITP this weekend! It’s honestly been like looking forward to Christmas when you’re a kid. We normally go every year with tons of friends, so to be playing this year is kinda surreal. We’ve packed our wellies and sleeping bags and are heading out onto the boggy fields of Balado to camp for the weekend as well – just need to stay in a fit state ‘til Sunday afternoon… ?
We’ve been practicing like crazy since we found out we’re playing – we’re planning to put on an amazing show that will sound huge and look electric. We’re pulling out all the stops for this one… we’re gonna dress the stage up with lamps, lights and whatever else we can find; and bring out as much random percussion as we can! Rehearsals have been fun… the usual routine is: play the set through, argue for 20 minutes about what tent to take, play the set through again, argue about the cheapest way to buy vodka from ASDA, play the set through etc etc…
We’ve got thousands of flyers made up to dish out while we’re in the park, as well as T-Shirts and badges. And on Thursday I think we’re gonna try our hand at making some TITA flags – of course we’ll need to find some local pirates first to ask them for tips. Amidst the onslaught of promo work we’re hoping to catch quite a few bands, especially Blur and Mogwai… though I think they maybe clash ?
All in all it’s shaping up to be a brilliant weekend. Look out for us when you’re there – we’ll be running about with T-Shirts, flyers, badges, sweets and possibly some pirates. And make sure you catch our set on the Tbreak stage on Sunday @ 1.40pm!! xx
