Sex Gang Children are an English gothic rock band that formed in the early 1980s. Emerging from the Batcave scene, which was the epicenter of gothic subculture during that time, the band is recognized for their dark and theatrical aesthetics, both in their music and in their live performances. They were initially part of the post-punk movement, but their style quickly evolved to become synonymous with the goth genre. Their name was suggested by Boy George, a contemporary and friend, before he formed Culture Club, and was taken from William Burroughs's novel "The Wild Boys." Despite its controversial nature, the name encapsulates the band's penchant for challenging societal norms and embracing the darker side of the human experience.

Fronted by the enigmatic Andi Sexgang, whose distinctive voice and intense stage presence became signatures of the band's performances, Sex Gang Children have released a number of influential albums and singles. Over the years, they have maintained a devoted following and continued to produce music with a gothic, brooding intensity. Their discography includes a mix of studio albums, live recordings, and compilations, with recent releases such as "OLIGARCH," reflecting the band's enduring commitment to their original sound and provocative themes. Despite lineup changes and periods of hiatus, Sex Gang Children have sustained their status as icons of gothic rock through their innovative music and influential style.
