What I Needed

Taking power pop to less-traveled latitudes - is Chicago-based band, GO TIME! 

Go Time are no strangers to the Chicago music scene. GO TIME! was initially comprised of former Prairie Town members Scott Niekelski (composer/lead guitar/vocals), Marko Marketti (bass) and Steve Grzenia (percussion). GO TIME! officially formed when Prairie Town disbanded after a two-decade run. In 2008, musician Paul Schmidt answered an online ad seeking a guitarist and the rest is history. 

The band members have like-minded musical tastes and settled into a harder-edged, power pop groove. Scott is a prolific song writer. The debut CD, "Speak" was released in May 2009 with the follow-up CD, "Hit It" being released in December 2010 and now January 2012 “Boneshaker”.  They are currently working on the 4th CD and performing live dates.

Deeply submerged in amped up jangle and buzz, along with a healthy dose of subtle pop riffs and stream-of-consciousness transitions GO TIME recorded in their home studio for Sound Gypsy Records and Mike Hagler at King Size Sound Labs mastered the CD. Mike is known for mixing and mastering bands such as Wilco, Neko Case, The New Pornographers, The Redwalls, John Langford, The Mekons, Billy Bragg, Ezra Furman and Caliphone, just to name a few.
