We all clapped our hands. We all said "Yeah!" and we also probably said things like "holy crap this band is amazing." The room last night was packed @ Pianos for the first of three shows in the January residency for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! Although their singer, who is frequently compared to David Byrne, tends to make little to no comprehensible sense when singing, the sound that this band makes is so sonic and fun that it makes very little difference. Maybe that's the reasoning behind the sort of gibberish band name?
My suggestion is that you run, not walk, to one or both of their next Pianos dates because I feel as though this band is going big places - perhaps very quickly, and soon you will be inundated with catchy headlines that read "Clap Your Hands and Say insert something very flattering and/or clever here"
