Happenin Records presents the first ever HAPPENIN FEST on June 30, 2012! Close to ten bands will be performing inside (and outside) of Vertical House Records in Huntsville, Alabama from 5:00pm – 1:00am.

For a simple $8 cover, attendees will get to rock out and drink beer with us until we decide to close up shop. We’ll be debuting new cassettes, giving away free vinyl, and hooking certain people up with limited edition posters.

Kegs will be tapped, but you gotta be 21+ to fall down. All ages are welcome, though!

Help us set off our first Fest, and show your support for this amazing lineup:

- NATURAL CHILD
- TIGER HIGH
- The Porcharitas
- Drew Price’s Bermuda Triangle
- Really Loud Hamburgers
- Nowhere Squares
- Walker Yancey and Furcoats
- Piss Shivers
- Plains
- Real Frogs
- Circuit Pop

Also… we’ll be cooking out all evening, so bring your grillin’ materials.

So, in summary, you get to see a crazy number of good bands (including NATURAL CHILD and TIGER HIGH), you get beer (if you’re of age), you might get some free records and cassettes, you get to hang out in a rad record store, and you can cook out. Seriously, why would you not come?

Wednesday May 30th we will be having an awesome show! Useless Eaters from Nasvhille, Tennessee and Really Loud Hamburgers play their first show in quite a while! Music will start around 9pm, admission $5!

USELESS EATERS (Nashville)
REALLY LOUD HAMBURGERS (Huntsville)

Thank you friends, family, and fellow music lovers for making Record Store Day 2012 a TOTAL success! Here’s a video of the rush!

Soundtrack by Natural Child!

YOU GUYS! It’s hard to believe but ye olde Vertical House Records is turning FIVE! For the last half of the decade we’ve been thrilled to provide Huntsville with a vinyl shop and show spot. To celebrate, on Monday April 23rd is we are having a grand re-opening show/party featuring Peach Kelli Pop (Awesome Girl Pop Punk from Ottowa Canada), The Porcharitas (it’s their record release show for their debut 7″ on Vertical House Records), and local singer/songwriter Sam McLeroy! Please join us for good times and good tunes!!

Show starts around 8pm and admission is $6!

We are thrilled to be participating in Record Store Day 2012 on April 21st! We will be open from 11-6pm. Come early for best chances of getting the items you want because quantities are VERY limited. One copy per person on each title, no holds or reserves. Feel free to email or call with any questions: 256-658-2976 or verticalhouse@gmail.com. Please note: we have moved from the 2nd floor to a building off of the south side of the dock (Railroad Room #3). See map below.

Hot damn Summer is nigh! Time to fire up the grill, crank the stereo, and grab a cold one! Thankfully we’ve got something that can take care of two out of three of the above! Vertical House Records is thrilled to announce our second release is out! “Get Wasted With The Porcharitas” is the debut 7 inch from Huntsville’s very own The Porcharitas! This first pressing is limited to 500 (100 on white vinyl and 400 on black). The white vinyl versions are only available in our record store (2211 Seminole Drive, Railroad Room #3) and at theporcharitas.com. The record comes with a download code and a special insert that you’ll love trying out! We are super thankful for our friends that helped make this possible! Recording by Dustin Timbrook. Cover art by Travis T. Swag by Nico.

In case you hadn’t heard we are expanding our shop! Starting today (while we are still open) we will be begin moving the 20,000 some odd records and 45s along with the everything else we’ve accumulated over the last five years. Our new home is still at Lowe Mill, in one of the “railroad rooms” that run along the South side of the dock. It’s actually accessible from either parking lot.

We are expanding the store from 900 square feet to 1600 square feet! Which means more room for records, friends, turntables, comics, bands, and more! Please note that we will not be closing in order to move the store, so don’t worry about that! If you have any trouble finding us, give Andy a ring at 256-658-2976!
