Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, the early 2000’s indie rock band is celebrating 20 years of their debut album. In celebration of the anniversary, the group has also announced a tour and a reissue of the vinyl itself. 

Alec Ounsworth, the lead guitarist, mentioned that a single on the band’s self-titled album has been remastered, in anticipation for the re-release. Pitchfork mentioned Ounsworth said “I really like both versions of “Heavy Metal,” but, 20 years later, I think I’ve come to appreciate this one a little more. The rest of the album has this excitement too of course but the earliest songs speak even more to a certain innocence around that time which I try hard not to forget.”

The North American leg of the tour took off in D.C on January 1st at the Atlantis. Since then, the group has continued to tour major cities in the US, with their most recent show being in Denver on the 16th, this week. 

The New York City show on the tour is scheduled for May 9th at Webster Hall. Tickets to the Friday night show on the 9th are still on sale, and selling for as cheap as $58 USD. for General Admission.
