来自英国的哥特团体，最早是由Julianne Regan和Tim Bricheno以及Andy Cousin这3人组成，在1985年发行了他们的第一张单曲，后签约在Phonogram旗下，并在1987年发行了同名专辑，也是Julianne初啼之作，Julianne那特有的英伦浪漫的嗓音同当时流行的新浪潮搭配的非常合拍。这张专辑发行后杀入UK top10榜单，尤其与The Mission的主唱Wayne Hussey合作的歌曲成为成功的关键。 随后1989年发行了第二张专辑，这张专辑也受到了同样高度的评价，这段时间All About Eve主要以新浪潮音乐为主，这在当时舞曲风流行的英国是有一定的市场的，而在1991年，吉他手Tim Bricheno准备离开乐队，转投另一只大牌哥特乐队The Sisters of Mercy，离开前夕，乐队发行了他们最好的一张纪念专辑，这张专辑是宗教民谣音乐，也为他们日后转变风格指出了一个可行的方向。1992年，AAE离开了Phonogram转投MCA，并在旗下发行了最后一张录音室专辑，此时，解散已经不可避免了，这支充满了梦幻、理想的乐团终于也没能抵挡住历史发展的脚步结束了他们的音乐使命。解散后，各位成员们偶尔重组发行现场专辑或以前录音室未收录的单曲收集发行。
All About Eve arose out of Britains 80s goth rock scene with a unique, folk-rock-influenced take on the style. Former journalist and Gene Loves Jezebel bassist Julianne Regan was encouraged by members of the Mission U.K. to form her own band after singing background vocals on some of their material. She assembled former Aemotti Crii members Tim Bricheno (guitar) and Andy Cousin (bass), plus drummer Mark Price, and sprinkled her songs with references to hippiedom and white-magic mysticism. Their self-titled debut sold well in the U.K. in 1988 and produced the hit Marthas Harbour. Following the release and tour of their difficult second record Scarlet and Other Stories, Bricheno left the group and subsequently joined Sisters of Mercy.
The band regrouped, with the Church mainstay Marty Willson-Piper taking over on guitar. The resulting record, Touched By Jesus, was met with a lukewarm reception, and the band decided on a stylistic change for their next LP. 1994s Ultraviolet got lost in the shuffle, and problems with how the record company percieved the band added to an already stressful situation. A short time later, All About Eve called it a day, with Julianne Regan going on to form Mice, work with Bernard Butler, start the atmospheric Jules et Jim project, and a regular day job.
When it seemed that the band would never be heard from again, old friends the Mission decided to start touring again, and asked Regan if she was interested in opening. This was enough to not only get the band back together but to start touring on their own. After the tour with the Mission, All About Eve embarked on what turned out to be two years worth of acoustic gigs, and in 2000 released the first collection of unplugged highlights, entitled Fairy Light Nights. Fairy Light Nights, Vol. 2 and more acoustic shows appeared in 2001.
