Clap Your Hands Say Sydney!



MP3: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! - Upon This Tidal Wave Of Young Blood


Jangly indie rock kids Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! are finally coming to Australia. Remember them? When the Brooklyn bands' debut LP dropped it set off the collective hard-ons of bloggers and music critics alike everywhere, and believe it or not, had the substance to back the hype. CYHSY will be playing at Splendour in the Grass, but that is sold out so you can catch them at Rebel Rebel (thats at Home Cockle Bay btw) on the 22nd July.

Maybe The Killers need to get some pointers from CYHSY on how to be a good band, as this garbage they call a new song has been released on the net after the wally said their new album will be'one of the best albums of the last 20 years'. Whatever.




I just discovered the coolest Kiwi band (yes believe it or not, in New Zealand they do more than play Rugby and have relations with livestock) called The Brunettes. I may have been slow to discover them but I don't care. They have this 50's style charm about their music that I really like. Have a listen here at their website.
