Game Theory was an American rock band that originated in 1982 in Davis, California. They quickly gained popularity and their music was widely played on student-run university radio stations. Game Theory was one of the pioneering bands in the "college rock" genre during the 1980s.

Their unique sound and catchy melodies drew inspiration from a variety of genres including power pop, jangle pop, and alternative rock. With thought-provoking lyrics and infectious hooks, *Game Theory* captivated audiences with their distinctive style.

Influenced by bands such as Let's Active, Tommy Keene, The Loud Family, and The Three O'Clock among others, *Game Theory* created a sound that resonated with fans across the nation. Their music continues to inspire artists today and remains a testament to their lasting impact on the music industry.

Omnivore Recordings is an independent record label based in Los Angeles, USA. Founded in 2010 by music industry veterans Cheryl Pawelski, Greg Allen, Dutch Cramblitt, and Brad Rosenberger, the label specializes in preserving legacies and music created by historical, heritage, and catalog artists. They are also known for releasing previously unissued and newly found "lost" recordings.

With a mission to honor the rich musical history of artists from various genres, Omnivore Recordings has acquired the catalogs of renowned musicians such as *The Buck Owens Estate*, *Big Star*, and *Game Theory* in 2017. This acquisition further solidifies their commitment to preserving important musical works that may have otherwise been forgotten or lost.

As a leading authority on archival releases and reissues, Omnivore Recordings ensures that fans of these artists can continue to enjoy their timeless music while introducing new audiences to their incredible talent. With a dedication to quality sound restoration and comprehensive liner notes, they provide listeners with an immersive experience into the artist's world.

30th anniversary reissue of Game Theory's classic second full-length. Omnivore Recordings' re-introduction of the Game Theory catalog continues with the 30th Anniversary reissue of 'Real Nighttime'. Their first in a long line of albums produced by Mitch Easter (R.E.M., Let's Active), this version adds an astonishing 13 bonus tracks (10 previously unissued) to the original album's lauded twelve. From hard-to-find compilation tracks to live and unheard material (including covers of songs by Gerry Rafferty and Queen), 'Real Nighttime' now not only stands as the band's breakthrough, but as a true document of their emergence into the annals of music history. Available on CD, as well as a translucent red LP (with download card for entire CD program), 'Real Nighttime' stands as a fan favourite, and as a truly classic release. Packaging includes rare photos and an interview with Mitch Easter and series co-producer Pat Thomas, as well as notes from Byron Coley (Spin, Forced Exposure) and a remembrance from Carl Newman of The New Pornographers. The sun has risen once again on the Game Theory catalog. Now it's time to prepare for the 'Real Nighttime'.
