Eight Gigs: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Wed., March 22, 8 p.m., Harlow’s Restaurant & Nightclub, $18-$20
No one would slight Alec Ounsworth for shedding the name Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. And yet, save for one solo album under his birth name, CYHSY is the house he built from a self-released debut in 2005. Over a decade later, “The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth” remains the band’s most streamed song on Spotify. Even favorable reviews for this year’s The Tourist LP cannot eclipse the debut. Yes, most will come for the nostalgia, but Ounsworth has built a fanciful home in CYHSY that does not require rose-colored lenses to enjoy. 2708 J Street, http://cyhsy.com.
