The Smittens are a five-piece indiepop band from Burlington, Vermont and like to think of themselves as a DIY twee pop explosion. Dana Kaplan, Colin Clary, David Zacharis, Holly Chagnon, and Max Andrucki switch up instruments, song-writing, and singing to create brilliantly lyrical and hyper-catchy pop songs of all colors, shapes and sizes. Formed on a whim at a party in 2002 by a group of popkids who wanted to make for their friends the kind of music they love, the Smittens have emerged as one of the country’s best-loved underground indiepop quintets, with headlining slots in the past year at the New England, New York, Toledo, and Athens Popfests. The bands third album The Coolest Thing About Love, mixed by Eric Masunaga, is out now, on Athens, Georgia’s
indie institution Happy Happy Birthday To Me. The critically acclaimed 'Gentlefication Now!' and 'A Little Revolution' are both now available through Happy Happy Birthday to Me

Lo! For some unknown reason I'd never seen you electric til Sunday & I was bowled over. Also in February when I saw you walking into The Macbeth for the Popfest in London I said "Hello Americans!" I apologise for this slur. Simon Love...
Hello smittens! thanx for having us on board. We are releasing a new record these days. don't hesitate to drop by ! Our motherman is waiting for you with a new single : kats !!!
And I meant what I typed about 'The Garden': I really like it. Indeed, the tone seems to capture the feeling of pottering around a garden on a summer's day; which, as a city dweller, I rather long for.
