丁香時(shí)代樂隊(duì)（The Lilac Time）成立初期的成員包括斯蒂芬·杜菲（Stephen Duffy），斯蒂芬的哥哥尼克·杜菲（Nick Duffy）及其好友麥克·維斯頓（Michael Weston），當(dāng)他們開始準(zhǔn)備巡演的時(shí)候，Michael Giri和Fraser Kent這兩位成員也加入進(jìn)來。
1988年，丁香時(shí)代推出了他們第一張同名專輯。而他們?cè)?989年出品的《Paradise Circus》更是被英國的權(quán)威媒體《衛(wèi)報(bào)》評(píng)選為20世紀(jì)百張最重要的另類專輯作品之一。但是，在合作過程中，樂隊(duì)成員間逐漸出現(xiàn)分歧，并于1991年宣布解散，斯蒂芬則再次開始了他的個(gè)人演藝生涯。在此期間，他錄制了多張個(gè)人專輯，其中“London Girls”、“Sugar High”等單曲均打入英國獨(dú)立音樂排行榜Top 10。
終于，在1999年，斯蒂芬與樂隊(duì)的其他幾位成員重組了丁香時(shí)代樂隊(duì)，并連續(xù)推出了《Looking For A Day In The Night》、《lilac6》等多張專輯。
by Steve HueyFollowing a brief solo career under both his own name and the moniker Tin Tin, Stephen Duffy put together the Lilac Time, which traded in his former synth pop excursions for pastoral, folky English pop strongly recalling Skylarking-era XTC. Joined by Mickey Harris, Nick Duffy, and Michael Giri, Duffy crafted several eclectic albums making use of traditional instruments, beginning with a self-titled debut in 1988. 1989s Paradise Circus offered a bit of country & western influence, which was largely abandoned on 1990s ...& Love for All, partially produced by XTCs Andy Partridge. The Lilac Times final album, 1991s Astronauts, began to return to the sound of Duffys earlier solo career, so it was no surprise when the band broke up and Duffy resumed work as a solo artist. He re-formed the group in 1999 to release Looking for a Day in the Night.
