Disc #1: GLASTONBURYKIDS is a cinema verite-style documentary following a group of middle-class, suburban boys who have adopted the lifestyle of the "stunt show" rebels they grew up idolizing. Chafing against the restrictive, oftentimes stifling community around them, filled with a restless energy that has nowhere to go, the boys are forced to deal with the increasingly damaging consequences of their anti-social actions. Popularity, despair, jumping off of bridges, pointlessly driving around; Donais' documentary perfectly captures the ennui-laden suburban environment that so many of us grew up in (including Dan Barrett of HAVE A NICE LIFE, who grew up in this very town). Entirely self-financed and produced, GLASTONBURYKIDS epitomizes the ELHR aesthetic of militant self-reliance. Featuring music by HAVE A NICE LIFE, including rare early demos and unreleased tracks. Directed by JUSTIN DONAIS. Disc #2: In February of 2010, HAVE A NICE LIFE played three live sets. It was the first time any of HANL's material had been played for an audience. The very first night, in a cramped, dimly-lit club in New York City called The Stone, was caught on tape. Expertly filmed by JUSTIN DONAIS of the film GLASTONBURYKIDS and a team of 5 videographers, painstakingly edited together over the course of an entire year, LIVE AT THE STONE perfectly captures what was an incredibly chaotic, cathartic, and meaningful point in the life of the band. The set is raw, unpolished, desperate, and honest.
