Sidi Bou Said were a London based rock band, who existed during the 1990s. Their music combined an indie rock/folk sound with complex arrangements and literate lyrics. They were often compared to Throwing Muses and the Pixies, with whom they shared a taste for sometimes uncomfortable lyrical themes - murder, religion, the workings of the human body and surrealist stories and films. Their name comes from a town in Tunisia.

Sidi Bou Said had two albums produced by members of Cardiacs and are regular contributors to their stage shows and recordings. In recent years, the band have reformed under the name, "Tetra," and played a reunion gig on 15th December 2005, again using the Sidi Bou Said name.
