Make Me Happy

Impossible Tymes were a Greek indie pop supergroup formed in 1992 by various members of Next Time Passions and One Night Suzan. Their compilation album Popadelic compiles all the band’s recorded output from the 90s, including three covers by The Field Mice, Biff Bang Pow! and The Pretty Things. Next Time Passions and One Night Suzan were the first indie pop bands formed in Greece in the early 90s. During that time, both bands played many gigs together and naturally became good friends. Finding that they all shared a similar passion for 60’s psychedelia, neo-garage bands, Whaam! Records, Creation and early Sarah, three of them - Makis P. and Elias from Next Time Passions and Zissimos from One Night Suzan - formed Impossible Tymes. This was never meant to be a proper band, but more of a fun side project to share their love for that more psychedelic side of indiepop. To further distort their image (and for the fun of it!) they decided to use nicknames instead of their real names. Makis chose Skychild, Elias became Mr. Undecided, and Zissimos used his now standard alias The Crooner. Impossible Tymes are probably best known for their superb 7" vinyl single “2X1”, a split with Next Time Passions and co-released by Greece’s This Happy Feeling! and Spain’s Elefant Records. They also released two EPs on cassette but are impossible to find these days. The band also made many compilation appearances, including the seminal “Try A Little Sunshine” ‎on Pop Art, “Picnic Basket” on Shelflife and the most recent “A Sparkle From The Past” on Make Me Happy.
