Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Before the live recording of "Hysterical" at WFUV, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah had released their self-titled debut album in 2005, which garnered significant indie acclaim. By the time of this October 2011 performance, they had just released their third studio album, also titled "Hysterical," in September of that year. This album marked a creative evolution for the band, showcasing a more polished sound while still retaining their unique charm. Interestingly, the band’s early success was largely attributed to their DIY efforts, where their fans helped propel their music through word-of-mouth and online sharing. This performance not only reflects their growth but also their continued dedication to connecting with fans in an intimate setting, as WFUV's Studio A provided a perfect backdrop for their engaging sound.
