Brattleboro, Vermont might not be the first place that comes to mind when you hear Happy Birthday's catchy, guitar-driven pop - the small community is known for its vibrant local arts scene and chilly winters, if it's known for anything at all.

The band was slapdashed together for one show in late 2008 when guitarist and singer Kyle Thomas wanted backup for some new songs he'd written on his own.
