Steady rhythms, good-natured yelping, easily-identifiable reference points; rope all those in and it can only mean a Clap Your Hands Say Yeah tour. Well, or a Clap Your Hands record, but they just did that. Tour it is, then! The band have added a few East Coast dates to their continent-spanning tour, which finds them giving some skin and affirming things in Munich tonight.

In other Clap Your Hands news, they recently found a hidden portal into the brain of master thespian John Malkovich, heard all that sweet music, and recorded it for the score of The Great Buck Howard.
