Strange Fruit is an indie club night that started in Oxford, United Kingdom in November 1998, moved to London in November 2000. It ran until ending on its fifth birthday in November 2003. During the five years the club was in existence it evolved from being a straightforward club for dancing to an independent promoter putting on regular shows in London. Strange Fruit put on early shows for bands who were later to become more established such as The Futureheads, British Sea Power, The Postal Service and Motormark. Strange Fruit also organised two festivals, on its fourth and fifth birthdays.

Famous quotes containing the words strange and/or fruit:
“Isn’t it strange some people make
You feel so tired inside,
Your thoughts begin to shrivel up
Like leaves all brown and dried!”
—Rachel Lyman Field (1894–1942)
“It is, I fear, but a vain show of fulfilling the heathen precept, “Know thyself,” and too often leads to a self-estimate which will subsist in the absence of that fruit by which alone the quality of the tree is made evident.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
