Clap Your Hands Say Yeah 10th Anniversary Tour w/Teen Men at JB’s May 26 & 27

It’s hard to believe that it has been a decade since Clap Your Hands Say Yeah dropped their debut self-titled album on the world. The groundbreaking LP sold tens of thousands of copies out of bassist Tyler Sargent’s Brooklyn apartment at that time, which was unheard of in the music industry, and helped to alter the scope of what indie/DIY acts could accomplish without a record label. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of this generation-defining moment, the group is re-issuing its first release, and will be hitting the road performing the record in its entirety along with other favorites from the band’s catalog. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will be kicking the tour off this evening at Johnny Brenda’s with Teen Men, who have been asked to support them during their travels across the U.S. and Canada. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $20, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
