Middletown, Connecticut, United States (2000 – present)
Have a Nice Life is a shoegaze / industrial / new wave hybrid duo from Middletown, Connecticut, United States formed in year 2000.
It is the brainchild of Tim Macuga, black metal experimentalist in Nahvalr and songwriter for the classic Western Massachusetts hardcore band The Danger Strangers, and Dan Barrett, singer of the ghost music project Giles Corey and the now-defunct In Pieces.
HANL released their first full-length record in January of 2008, a double-album entitled Deathconsciousness.
The two discs (entitled The Plow that Broke the Plains and The Future, respectively) feature music spanning over five years of collaboration between the two artists, and are accompanied by a 75-page booklet on medieval Italian heretics in lieu of liner notes. The album was entirely self-released, right down to the hand-painted discs, and put out via the Enemies List Home Recordings label.

"A Quick One Before The Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut" is all about dependence on alcohol and drugs. Dan and Tim are taking a stand against those who want to "drink a quick one" before doing things. Where HANL is from, those people are referred to as "worms."

Say what you will, but HANL is probably the greatest straightedge band of all time.
