Good Luck (band)

The band discovered their name on the front steps of a fraternity house in Bloomington, from the phrase 'Good Luck Riders,' in reference to the Little 500, an annual bike race at Indiana University.

Club, the Good Luck developed a different sound than many other folk-punk bands in the area:"While many Bloomington bands were excelling in acoustic guitars and ramshackle recordings, Good Luck felt like a maturation of that movement, bringing in a technical ability that superseded its peers but didn’t take away from its ability to make fans feel at home in its songs.

[6] The album was recorded, engineered, and mixed by Mike Bridavsky, the owner of celebrity cat Lil Bub.

"[10] Reviewer Ian Sallee from independent publication Mind Equals Blown said of their work:"Most people associate Good Luck with just being a great punk band, but they will have their socks literally knocked off of them after listening to Into Lake Griffy... Matt Tobey, Ginger Alford, and Mike Harpring were all accomplished musicians prior to the forming of Good Luck.

But their balance and collaborative efforts have led them down a path of righteousness, into territory that no pop or punk band has charted before.

On March 13, 2010, the band released a four-song EP entitled Demonstration 2010, for digital download and streaming on Bandcamp.

Good Luck played at Russian Recording's 15 year anniversary concert on June 30, 2018, in Bloomington, Indiana, in a rare group performance after effectively disbanding.

[24] Writing on Facebook and Twitter, "No, this is not a hoax" of the unexpected performance, the band indicated that while they may play more shows together in the future, they had no current plans to do so.
