The band formed in 1964 under a fictionalized an origins story, pretending to be three musical brothers (named Giles, Miles and Niles) raised on an Australian sheep farm. "I Want Candy" reached as high as #11 on the US Hot 100 and #7 on the Canada RPM 100 lists.
The Strangeloves' only LP, I Want Candy, was released in 1965 on Bert Berns' songwriter label Bang Records, with several of the album songs having been released as singles. Other singles by The Strangeloves appeared on Swan Records and Sire Records.
