Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are a five piece consisting of Philadelphian songwriter Alec Ounsworth (vocals/guitar), Lee Sargent (guitar/keyboards), his brother Tyler (bass), Robbie Guertin (guitar/keyboards) and Sean Greenhalgh (drums).

CYHSY live shows generated an astonishing word of mouth that led to internet based sales of over 25,000 copies of their self-titled debut album that they packed and posted from their front rooms. Alternative Distribution Alliance (ADA) then stepped in and agreed to distribute the album in shops across North America, the second time ever that the company has worked directly with an unsigned band. Make no mistake, CYHSY are on the hottest bands on the planet at the moment.

CYHSY have received numerous accolades from the music press, including selection as a "Hot Band" in Rolling Stone's annual "Hot Issue" and were the NME's pick of the CMJ Music Marathon in 2005. They headlined at New York's prestigious Irving Plaza on New Year's Eve and appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

V2 Music now bring you the CYHSY self-titled album for local release, with 5 bonus live cuts recorded in Minneapolis in 2006.
