Have a Nice Life at The Wiltern

It wasn’t until the release of their first full album that the world began to hear Have a Nice Life, but it would be even longer before they gained the favor of listeners. Deathconsciousness did not go out with much of a bang; critics and listeners alike did not know what to make of it. Later, the album began to grow a cult-like following online and everything changed for the rock duo. Still, Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga are able to maintain a normal life between world tours. Before they go back into hiding, though, come see them in LA this summer.

Have a Nice Life hadn’t released much of anything for their devoted fanbase in a few years. The duo would often tour and successful performances still happened yearly regardless, but waited until 2023 to start promoting new projects. They released Voids, a series of demos from their past recording sessions, in 2023. This April, they released a single cover of Low’s original song “When I Go Deaf” and one can only assume it will be played at their upcoming shows.

There are some bands that are just too unique. Bands that have so many influences and inspirations that they blend together genres so seamlessly and almost become their own individual genre. Have a Nice Life sits happily in this category; they don’t necessarily subscribe to any one genre in a way that reflects through all of their music. As such, seeing them perform is truly an individual experience - one you surely don’t want to miss.

Have a Nice Life is not just a band - they are an experience. If you care to give them a try, their music is an experience like no other, and is bound to make you a new member of their cult following. In case you don’t believe me, take a look at their upcoming concert here at the Wiltern - it is sure to be a purchase you will never regret.
