View Full Version : Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
I went to see them with megantw on Friday night. They were great. I like their CD a lot and had a blast at their show. They opened with Love Minus Zero/No Limit which was a complete surprise and it was terrific.
Also, their singer looks like Shant.

They were at this show too. Didn't stick around to see the main act.
If anyone happened to be at the Bowery Ballroom on Friday night and heard someone yell, "Gimme Some Salt!!!!!! C'MON!!!!!! GIMME SOME SALT!!!!!!!" that was megantw.

I saw them a few weeks ago at South St. Seaport. Also an awesome show. They played two songs not on the album leading into Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood to close out the show, and they were both real good (especially the one with the Satan chant, gotta love that).
After seeing them live, the Dylan cover makes complete sense, IMO.

I waited until an appropriate amount of songs had been played to make the request. They wouldn't have played it otherwise.

I've yet to catch CYHSY fever but I'm sure I will a few months too late to ever see them in a non-arena setting. Anyway, I'm going to see Nouvelle Vague on Wednesday at Canal Room in NYC--anyone else going (or want to go?) You can check out some of their songs here. (http://hype.non-standard.net/search/nouvelle/1/) They basically do bossa nova covers of punk/new wave songs and are awesome.
Also, on a completely unrelated note, here's an awesome Pixies/Dylan mashup. (http://hype.non-standard.net/search/bob%20dylan%20pixies/1/)

Two things you should have mentioned:
1. The bassist did a funny mumbling thing with his lips whenever he struck a note on his bass, as if the notes were coming out of his mouth.
2. Guy geeking out with the tambourine. He bopped up and down! Eee!

I appreciate that people are at least making up bands with cool names, but you guys should just stop it already.

I didn't mention this because the lower-jaw bassist was in the opening-opening band. I win. Again.

You also forgot to mention how you pointed out to me that the guitarist in the opening band was lacking genitalia.

while not quite Sufjan Stevens and the Michigan Militia, these guys seem to be pushing it. is that a fire extinguisher?
where's Patrick when you need his opinion?

CYHSY (http://clapyourhandssayyeah.com/shows.php)
I can see that. Live, he spits and snarls and slurs and sometimes enunciates a lot like Dylan.

Saw them last night in a little dive bar. They were great, though they didn't play my favorite of their songs.
Half of the crowd spilled out after they were finished and missed a phenomenal performance by The National. If you're going to see this show, don't make the same mistake.

You guys suck. I have tickets. And I'm not going to pull a Dave and actually f[/i]ucking leave before The National comes on. The National are the reason I bought the tickets back in July. CYHSY is a bonus.

just got back from their show 10 minutes ago. thanks for the post about their show sfer or i would have never gone.
actually when you posted about them i had never heard their music just knew of them. figured for $10 why not try it and i saw they were selling out shows so i knew i didnt have the luxury to listen first and then decide if i wanted to go. i have been listening to their album ALOT the last month. the austin show sold out a week ago and there were the usual beggars looking for tickets outside the show.
anyway about the show. they were really good. only played for about 40 minutes but played most of their album and did it well. only missing song which i believe you grumbled about also was "gimme some salt."
they played a couple songs which i could have done w/out which werent on their album so i wish they would have done salt in their place. one was a really silly one in the vein of the dead milkmen where the whole band just yelled "satan" throughout and the other was a song the band didnt know well enough and had to read while playing and messed up several times.
but other album songs were great. the skin of my yellow teeth was probably the best. the crowd was extra loud for that one.
and i had a great spot. about 7 feet back dead center. i took a picture of shant w/ my cell phone but it didnt turn out too well.
and when clap was over i left. was planning on staying for the nationals but clap started later than i thought they would and bwana's got to work tomorrow...and i just havent been digging the nationals too much. sorry private joker.
