Clap.Your.Hands.Say.Yeah.2011
@Webster.Hall.(NYCity)
Wednesday.December.7.2011

Today's show at Webster Hall is SOLD OUT!!!  It's a crazy rainy day today in the city and it feels good.  It's not to hot or cold, just perfect out. 
This time around, I did not check in my coat because it's a mission to get it when a show is over.  You really got to be on your game or people are gonna cut.  Plus, to check in just ONE coat here is $6.00.  That is just bananas.  I rather carry the dam thing. 

The first band went on and they felt like a 90's band with all that feed back.  I don't know who did the better singing, the guy or the girl, but some people did not mind it.  They where bopping to the music and a girl not to far away was singing along to every song (friend?).   

The second band (WATERS from San Francisco) was better.   They too sounded like a band from the 90's. So does that mean that 90's rock sound is coming back?  Since the sound of 90's early House and Techno is making a come back on todays dance music. 
Clap.Your.Hands.Say.Yeah where GREAT.  It helped to have visuals.  If they didn't, they would of not done so well.  When I saw them at Culture.Collide in October, they where just okay.   They just stood there and the crowd did the same.  They didn't play there hit song, "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth" that day, but they did tonight.  That song got everyone shaking and moving, to the point where you can feel the floor move.  It's a little scary if you think of it because it feels like it's going to collapse.  
Clap.Your.Hands.Say.Yeah came out with a FANTASTIC album this year called "Hysterical" (need to get).  That second album (Some Loud Thunder) just came and went.  I thought that was the end of them because I don't think they toured for that album.  So great that they went back to the studio and didn't break up.  If they had, the song "Hysterical"  wouldn't be on my Top.50.Songs.of.2011.

Toyota.Antics.Block.Concert

This is my first time coming to the outdoor event and I am kicking myself for 
not coming last year.  It's a mini Sunset/Junction.  They had food trucks, live  painter's painting and all sorts of other cool things.  They had two stages.  The smaller stage was  a fold out stage.  Never seen anything like it and I didn't  know they made something like that.  It must be imported from the Mid-West.

I arrived around 6 and I thought it was gonna be hard to get in, but it wasn't.  
You had to print out a ticket for this event in order to get in, but they never  asked for it.  They just saw your wristband and let you in. Why have us print out a ticket?  Not very green.

Clap Your Hands Say Yea went on time and they where not as bad as I thought they where gonna be.  Not the most exciting band, but they where okay and they sounded good. I heard bad stories about them live.  They where okay on my case and I    would see them again. 

Next at the fold out stage was Datarock.  They where good, but I had to leave.  
I was next to a speaker that was really FCVKn up my ear.  I noticed I was not 
the only one having this problem.  So after three songs, I left and walked 
around.  I noticed a bunch of family here.  I guess they are here for CSS. 

I went to the main stage to catch CSS and it was already getting crowded with 
people.  CSS hit the stage right when Datarock finished(they are quick here).  
Lovefoxxx came out wearing a Catwomen costume with here mask all bedazzled.  I         notices that Adriano Cintra (Bass Player) was not on stage.  
Someone else filled in his spot.  Lovefoxxx (Lead Singer) did not even mention him on his 
where abouts.  Was he sick or did he leave the band?  What ever the case, I miss 
his crazy energy, but Lovefoxxx took care of that.  She was making jokes, "okay 
guys, dance like Shakira" and she would do the dance moves.  Funny.  
Once again, little by little she would strip down to her short shorts and stage 
dive into the crowd.  

In the middle of the set, the main speakers went out, but the stage monitors 
where on.  People stopped jumping and dancing, but once they 
fixed it, people cheered and went back to what they where doing.  All the new 
songs sounded GREAT.  They started out with "Red Alert" and ended with "City 
Girl".  If you haven't gotten the NEW album, "La Liberacion" it's a MUST.  What a GREAT     comeback album.  The put the fun back. 

 Next band was Gang Gang Dance on the fold out stage.  I keep hearing so much 
about them and I am waiting to see what kind of show they are gonna put on.  The 
person next to me was so excited to see them and he couldn't wait to hear some 
killer dance music.  Dance music?  I was...confused because they are far away 
from dance music.  Gang Gang Dance are Avant Garde Experimental dance band.  Maybe heheard a remix.  

Gang Gang Dance came out and Lizzi Bougatsos (Lead Singer) came out wearing a 
mosquito net looking outfit (Now that is Avant Garde).  They had okay visuals, but they     where NOT holding my interest.  After 2 songs, I left and walked around.  The event was    slowly wrapping things up.  I wanted more and it was only 9 o'clock.  They said midnight.  Maybe there was more in Tiax.  I'll be back next year because for twenty bucks, it's a deal.  

\m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ - AWESOME!
