Skipping Stones Records was responsible for Popfest! New England in Northampton, MA from 2004–2010.
This Popfest is patterned after many previous popfests put on by members of the Indiepop list**. Here is a description of the basics of Indiepop courtesy of Steve Thornton for more info, please visit www.twee.net:
“The Indiepop mailing-list is devoted to discussion of independently produced pop music, the kind that tends to come out on small-run seven-inch singles with handmade sleeves (or limited run CDs and CD-R’s – edit by william). They call it “wimpy” and “twee”, but Pop Kids everywhere know that the true spirit of Punk Rock lives on not in the mass-marketed “alternative” scene, but in the simple and pure efforts of kids banging out sweet delicious songs on cheap guitars.”
