Andi Sex Gang (born Andreas Graham McElligott[1][2]) is the founder, vocalist and main songwriter of the band Sex Gang Children who were a prominent act in the gothic rock movement of the 1980s. His band played at the infamous Batcave club in 1982.[3][4] He has also recorded as an experimental solo artist.
McElligot lived in London squats before entering music, and was involved in leftist activism. He formed the band in early 1982.[5] In the late 1980s, McElligot obtained the rights to the material he had released with the band and controls its licensing. Over the years, he had a number of conflicts with a number of record companies.[6]
In 2011, a documentary, Bastard Art, by Vince Corkadel presented an overview of his career.[6]
