20: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Accidental internet pioneers, getting experimental, and famous fans

<div>On this week's show, <strong>Alec Ounsworth </strong>tells us the <strong>Clap Your Hands Say Yeah </strong>story - from the inspiration behind that standout name and how they rose to prominence without a record label thanks to their online following, to their experimental sound. <br> <br> We ask him what it was like to have A-list stars including David Bowie and the Talking Heads' David Byrne at their shows as they gained a respected reputation - plus, the obstacles met along the journey. <br> <br> There's also news about new CYHSY releases! <br> <br> <strong>Clap Your Hands Say Yeah fan?
