Short intro

Real Nighttime is the second full-length album from Game Theory, a California power pop band founded by guitarist and singer-songwriter Scott Miller. Released in 1985, the album is cited as a watershed work in '80s paisley underground pop. A 30th anniversary reissue was released in March 2015, on CD and in a limited first pressing on red vinyl, with 13 bonus tracks. Album 1985 25 Songs. Real Nighttime. Game Theory. Alternative in 1985, Real Nighttime wasn't Game Theory's first album - they'd self-released the home-recorded Blaze of Glory in 1982, and a pair of EPs had been fashioned into the 1984 LP Dead Center - but it was the first record that truly fulfilled Scott Miller's ideas and ambitions for his music. With Real Nighttime, Miller and his bandmates had a bigger budget to work with, as well as a talented and sympatico producer, Mitch Easter, who tightened up the music and helped Miller work out the angles of his sweet-and-noisy smart pop.

Scott Miller, who was Game Theory's songwriting genius and vocalist-guitarist, pays an obvious homage to Big Star on this album even going as far as deftly covering an Alex Chilton song, You Can't Have Me, but he's by no means copying Chilton and company, by using that musical template and adding his own flourishes and colors
