Band Review
CLAP! CLAP!
riyl: new order, the faint, the rapture
words: ani v. steen


Clap!Clap! is on a mission. They could have been the spokesmen for that ridiculously awesome light switch invention, but they have chosen another fate.
The group formed in response to a “too-hip-to-be-square world where no one wanst to be dancing alone” and armed with a grand total of ten members, including an impressive clap choir and others that play a grab bag of instruments such as claves, cowbell and trumpet, the musical ensemble is striving to bring forth the primordial action of clapping back into the music scene.
Clap!Clap! command their audiences with high energy and satisfying doses of irresistible dance rock, reminiscent of The Clash and The Faint playing a high school battle of the bands glitter-fest. The group has already conjured a decent fan base, which are sure to be clap dancing up a frenzy at their scheduled SXSW shows.
