Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - 'Heavy Metal' Live Performance at KEXP Studio
On July 17, 2015, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah brought their indie rock vibe to KEXP's studio, performing 'Heavy Metal' live. At this point in their career, they had recently released their album "Only Run" in 2014, which showcased a more polished sound than their earlier, self-titled debut. The recording happened after a period of relative quiet for the band, which had seen them regroup and evolve since their initial burst onto the scene in the mid-2000s. This live performance reflects both their growth and the band’s commitment to artistic experimentation, as they transitioned into newer sounds while retaining their signature charm. Fun fact: the band's frontman, Alec Ounsworth, is known for his distinctive vocal style and has maintained a cult following, highlighting the band's unique position in the indie music landscape.
