Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records, one of our favorite indie labels, is packing up shop and moving to Athens, GA... and doing it in some seriously cool style. Mike from HHBTM just confirmed the rumors - in honor of his label relocating, he's hosting a FOUR DAY festival in Athens, from August 4-7, at two different venues... the lineup might just be the most solid we've seen this year, and this should be a DO NOT MISS event if indiepop's your thing. The label is setting up a website for the fest that should eventually exist HERE - the website should provide directions, info on hotels and food, etc. Expand this story ("Read More") to see the full line-up!
