During his early days of college, Dan Barrett started playing and creating music in a college dorm room and at DIY spaces in New England with his friend and counterpart, Tim Macuga. These early days of music making would lead Dan and Tim to eventually form the band Have a Nice Life. Over several years, Have a Nice Life worked on and honed their sound, eventually releasing their seminal and momentous album Deathconsciousness in 2008. Since then, Dan has continued to work on, create, and share music that is groundbreaking, influential, and deeply personal, releasing Have a Nice Life's follow-up LP, The Unnatural World, and musical projects under the monikers Giles Corey, Black Wing, and Nahvalr. In this episode, Dan squared sat down to discuss Have a Nice Life, the band playing RoadBurn next year, Black Wing, and both Dan's discuss their favorite submissions to hit in Jiu Jitsu.
