CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH IN CONCERT:
Indie darlings Clap Your Hands Say Yeah have been bringing hands together since 2005, and their name perfectly describes what happens at their live shows. Elaborating on their already-creative arrangements, the band creates a decidedly upbeat atmosphere in concert, treating fans to buoyant singles like “Is This Love?” and “The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth” as they join the crowd in collective clap-alongs. Touring in support of a new album in 2014, the band continues to bring the can’t–miss party to venues across the country.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Philadelphia-based indie band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah became overnight critical favorites with their self-titled 2005 debut, dominating music blogs with their sunny indie-pop earworms and garnering a “Best New Music” nod from Pitchfork. Their 2007 follow-up was an even bigger hit, landing on the Billboard 200 and leading to high-profile gigs including appearances at Lollapalooza and Coachella. With a new album in the works for 2014, core members Alec Ounsworth and Sean Greenhalgh will hit the road for a highly anticipated tour in support of the release.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
“Clap Your Hands Say Yeah was really fun to see live! The lead singer Alec Ounsworth is a great singer, and there was great energy throughout the show.”
“CYHSY put on a charged and vibrant show with a set that drew the audience in and tapped into a bit of primal rage. A few songs got the crowd moving and thrashing, but swaying and head-bobbing were the popular moves for the night.”
“The songs captured the essences of their recorded versions, but every musician seemed to be putting something extra in. More drum variations, more keyboard coloring, and of course the high speed strumming trickier than ever.”

by GetOffTheCouch on 10/15/12Royale Boston - BostonGreat band. Very tight. You won't regret it. Royale was a great, intimate location.
Rating: 4 out of 5by nickname234324 on 10/14/12Royale Boston - Boston Great band of eclectic sounds and also quite danceable. They didn't really fill out the venue as much as I had hoped and when there are fewer people, there tends to be less dancing which is too bad. But they played a good show and looked like they were having fun.

by Dee0102 on 6/18/12El Rey Theatre - Los AngelesI've been a fan of Clap Your Hands for quite some time, but never had the chance to see them until their show at the El Rey. They were great and the audience was very much into them. A lot of dancing and energy all around. I enjoyed them!!

by Anonymous on 6/11/12El Rey Theatre - Los AngelesClap Your Hands Say Yeah was really fun to see live! The lead singer Alec Ounsworth is a great singer, and there was great energy throughout the show. I am a huge fan of the band, so I really enjoyed the concert! Also the El Rey is a really nice venue -- quite small, and cool-looking.
Rating: 5 out of 5 A great venue for a load of fun
by Geoffrey49 on 12/13/11Webster Hall - New YorkWebster Hall is proving to be one of the best venues for shows of this size and artists of this caliber. The crowd filled the space nicely, with enough room to get from place-to-place. Nearer to the stage, it's easy to have the "personal" music experience without feeling suffocated by those around you. CYHSY put on a charged and vibrant show with a set that drew the audience in and tapped into a bit of primal rage. A few songs got the crowd moving and thrashing, but swaying and head-bobbing were the popular moves for the night. Despite the pricey drinks at the bar, it's easy to enjoy a $5 beer if you find the guys wandering the crowd.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Uplifting and infectious
by TBCT on 12/9/11Webster Hall - New YorkGreat fun. Wonderfully rhythmical and as engagingly offbeat as ever. Genuine connection with a home crowd starved of live appearances. Songs off the much-loved first album predictably had the best reaction but the new stuff slotted in very nicely.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Clap Your Hands is tight and imaginative
by Oldrockernewfan on 12/9/11Webster Hall - New YorkThe songs captured the essences of their recorded versions, but every musician seemed to be putting something extra in. More drum variations, more keyboard coloring, and of course the high speed strumming trickier than ever. I could focus on different parts at different times or let all the parts combine. What an experience!

by Justinterpol on 12/9/11Webster Hall - New YorkThe set was tight, fast paced and energetic. They played a pretty even mix of some of their old songs with some of their new. I would have prefered more of the new, however. The venue was small and intimate, which I loved, but the crowd was quite lame. Alec's vocals were spot on, but a bit too low. Not sure if it was the accoustics or the accompaniment, but I like to hear his voice above all.
