We heard the west coast of The United States claim their doubt towards the truth of our flat Earth. Being kinda, generous, and loving people we decided to do a tour to show them the good news as well.

With any luck The Good News will not fall upon deaf ears and the west coast too will shout with joy "The Earth's Flat!"

To commemorate this joyous occasion we've put together a blessed video of our troupe resounding one of our other important messages. We're All Gonna Die.

We managed to convince our local Public Access TV stations in the area to play some alternative programming. TJ Gruber: The Science Duder, specializes in teaching kids, and bands, about the Flat Earth Model. We find it incredibly useful for bands, and families, going on the road and touring this fantastic country.

​Because of our Public Access phenomenon we were able to secure even more tour dates for educational purposes! We look forward to the time we will have on the road to bond, teach, and celebrate OUR FLAT EARTH!!!
​

Greetings citizens of this great planet! Coming to a town near you, Hans Gruber and the Die Hards tour THIS FLAT EARTH!

​Also we are stoked and honored to be a part of THE FEST 17 this year!  The lineup is looking awesome and can't wait to hang out and see all of the other amazing bands!  You can catch our set which is free for both FEST attendees and the general public at:

FRIDAY OCTOBER 26
4:50 PM
MOTHER’S PUB FEST 17 HAPPIEST HOUR PARTY TIME
1017 W UNIVERSITY AVE, GAINESVILLE, FL

Stop the presses! Hans Gruber and the Die Hards have a new music video!  We have decided to fast forward to the part of our career where we decide to start making kid's albums.  So far Disney has not given us any of that Scrooge McDuck coin, but we think our new film which critics have been calling a "delightful romp with fine production values" speaks for itself.

Also excited to announce some new tour dates- Where will you be when we come!?

MAY 30 - Dallas, TX
MAY 31 - Fayetteville, AR
JUNE 1 - St Louis, MO
JUNE 2 - Chicago, IL
JUNE 3 - Madison, WI
JUNE 5 - Milwaukee, WI
JUNE 7 - Kansas City, MO
JUNE 8 - Oklahoma City, OK
JUNE 9 - Tulsa, OK

Well that's a wrap!  Finished up all the recording for some new songs last night!  We had a great time working with Drew Leclair (he's going to fix everything in post) and now we begin the mixing/mastering/distracting-ourselves-from-existential-angst process. We went all out with this one, adding some more horns and other exotic instruments like "cowbell" and "old-timey piano"

​Hans Gruber and The Die Hards new music video is a testament to both their love of Bill Murray and taking senior citizens to the moon to go shopping.  An homage to the long lost Tom Schiller film Nothing Lasts Forever, it proves that no matter how obscure the reference Hans Gruber and The Die Hards will write a song about it. So kick back. Relax. And enjoy a Lunartini because in the words of Bill Murray, "YOU'RE DARN TOOTING NOTHING LASTS FOREVER!"

That's right!  Excited to announce that we've been added to the official 2018 SXSW lineup!  We'll be playing the showcase at 720 club on Tuesday 03/13 at 8:00 PM.

"Being our first SXSW appearance I would expect a spiritual awakening for all present as the world comes to an end, or at least a mosh pit conga line."
-Hans
