Strangelove, an English alternative rock band, was formed in Bristol in 1991. The group consisted of Patrick Duff on vocals, Alex Lee and Julian Poole on guitars, Joe Allen on bass, and John Langley on drums. Strangelove's journey began when David Francolini, a drummer from Levitation, discovered Patrick Duff busking on the streets. After assembling various musicians, they played their first gig at Bath Moles Club in October 1991. Their early releases included the song "Zoo'd Out" and the EP Visionary, which garnered critical acclaim and led to a support slot on Radiohead's Pop Is Dead tour. Strangelove signed with EMI label Food Records in 1993, releasing their debut album Time for the Rest of Your Life in August 1994. The album featured notable songs like "She’s Everywhere" and earned them support slots with Suede on their Dog Man Star European tour. Their second album, Love and Other Demons, was released in June 1996, featuring the single "Beautiful Alone", which reached Number 35 in the UK Singles Chart. Patrick Duff's journey to sobriety influenced the band’s third album, Strangelove, released in October 1997. The album included the hit single "The Greatest Show on Earth" and saw sell-out shows at venues like the London Astoria. However, Strangelove disbanded on April 20, 1998. Post-disbandment, Patrick Duff formed Moon and continued to perform acoustic versions of Strangelove songs sporadically.
