Clap Your Hands

I just got news Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will be coming down to Melbourne for two nights.

This is a miracle to me.

This is HUGE.HUGE.HUGE.

Ugh,that looks so fucking gaudy.

Anyways,my head feels like it's about to explode.

I know what you're thinking-I'm like another one of those boring teens who seem to become extremely amused everytime someone comes to perform live.But no.The thing is,yes I would be mildly (a slight understatement,but who cares) excited if any other band I personally/exceptionally loved came to Melbourne-say,the Arctic Monkeys,Camera Obscura,The Decemberists or Fiona Apple (all of those I absolutely go mad for),I'd obviously be excited about it and immediately purchase ticks-but the thing is,Clap Your Hands Say Yeah-they're not just some good band,they're unbelievably good.Put simply,they're on a whole other level.And them coming to Melbourne is just indescribably mind-blowing.I love CYHSY as much as Alanis Morrissette,Radiohead,Oasis and Fleetwood Mac-and if any of those others actually came down to Melbourne,I'd feel equally ecstatic about it.

I will be purchasing tickets latest by Saturday,and for anyone still unfamiliar with the band-I highly,highly recommend some of their songs.I would kill myself if I missed their performance.More info about it here.So far only two of us are planning to go-fyi I'd go alone if I had to (they're that good)-40 bucks for the ticker,May 21st (Monday)-anyone interested in going should contact me ASAP.

Recommended songs-if you're still unconvinced (thou shall be converted into the awesome religion of CYHSY-okay,lmao.Let's move on),download the first few songs at the top of the list.And if those don't work for you,too bad.

Gimme Some Salt
Let The Cool Goddess Rust Away
Home On Ice
The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth
Tidal Wave
Details of the War
Everybody Knows this is Nowhere

They have this really distinctive,unique sound that's just unbelievable-the lost drumbeats,the carefree vocals,the beautiful guitar sounds,the godlike purity of the sound itself-the band's music is best heard at full volume (just up to the point before your ears bleed from pain).It's just so good I've cried many times before just listening to them,even it's one of their songs I've heard a hundred times.

I sound like I'm exaggerating,but I can't help it.Words can't do this-just try out their music-it'll just consume you.
