Who out there is into "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah"?

These guys are excellent, have been compared to Arcade Fire.

There are several tracks for download as well as some tracks from Flashy Python and the Body Snatchers, frontman Alec Ounsworth's side project from the link below

Indeed! NEVER heard them compared to Arcade Fire before, and don't agree with that... they ARE however very Talking Heads...

I think they are not bad - but nothing great either..

with exception to radio 4, best thing to come out of new york in a long long loooooooooooong time

TheBig3 · 01-17-2006, 03:18 PM

well what else has come out of New York? And if you're refering to CYHASY, well the band is from Boston and the singers from Philly.

the rapture, the walkmen, the strokes, fischerspooner, interpol - all new york bands i happen to like. and 4 out of the 5 members live in brooklyn, which is in new york, in case you dont know. Ounsworth writes the songs in philly, but they are virtually completed in NY.
