Biography

Really Good Time are a four piece, post-crunk band from Dublin who sound like vertigo era U2 covering Viagra boys or early Pixies and LCD Soundsystem in a blender with a bag of cheap speed. They are a hair-raising, ear-immolating live band called Really Good Time, whose primary concern is that you have one. Having been long time friends within Dublin's close knit music scene, when the band first began writing together there was a conscious effort made to get away from the type of heady, introspective, 'serious' music they had focused on in previous projects. From this brief, a set of guiding principles quickly emerged; if something isn't immediately exciting, bin it, or speed it up. If there is ever a worry that something is too cheesy/poppy or equally too weird/noisy, eliminate that worry by leaning into it. If a song doesn't feel like it would be unbelievably fun to gig, it isn't for this band. Really Good Time have now existed publicly for a little over a year, and in that time they've built a loyal following at home off the back of a live show like bottled lightning and a couple of singles and videos which have firmly established their own world of art-rock bravado, wherein it makes perfect sense for an emerging act to declare themselves the greatest band on earth, and to give their second music video a red carpet premiere at a local pub.
