Isn't it "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!" with an exclamation point?

Nope. See their website Husky

Picture[edit]

Maybe it would be a good idea to list the members from left to right or atleast list them like that when you click on the picture. Could someone do this? (I dont know whos who) PrettyMuchBryce 12:42, 15 tApril 2006 (UTC)

It'd be great if there was a picture. And one that didn't have a million fair use goons attacking it. --MightyGiant (talk) 21:05, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable band?[edit]

How could it be proposed that this is an article about a non-notable band? Their music has been released in most first world countries and enjoyed regular rotation on at least one Australian radio station - far beyond Brooklyn. I disagree entirely with the idea they are not worthy of inclusion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shaybear (talk • contribs) 20:47 UTC, September 4, 2006.

It's ridiculous, they clearly meet WP:BAND. Plenty of independent reviews[1], national tour, etc. --Dhartung | Talk 01:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well they are pretty obscure, but the previous poster is correct in that they do meet the notability requirements.(24.62.126.170 (talk) 00:35, 13 May 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Why CYHSY is notable[edit]

I've just removed a {{prod}} tag which calls the band "non notable". CYHSY meets the following criteria from Wikipedia:Notability (music):

  • "Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media..."
The band has been featured in Time Out New York ([2]), The Guardian ([3]), NME, Rolling Stone ([4]), and Pitchfork Media ([5], [6], [7], [8] [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]).
  • "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country, reported in notable and verifiable sources."
This article on Pitchfork details their international tour dates: in the U.S., the U.K., Ireland, Japan, Belgium, Germany, France, Holland, Italy, Spain and Texas.
  • "Is frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable sub-culture."
The indie world is consumed by them, of course.

They are also notable in that the story of their early success is emblematic of how some recent bands have risen to success via the internet without the aid of a record label. This was the subject of a short story on National Public Radio: [16]. They also played on The David Letterman Show.[17] Omphaloscope talk 01:18, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

link to t-shirt charity[edit]

User:Yellowbirdproject added a note about CYHSY's participation in a charity project. The project sounds very cool to me, but I don't think it's notable enough for inclusion here. This is an encyclopedia, not an index of all worthy endeavours. Omphaloscope talk 01:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The band's involvement with the Yellow Bird Project, is completely intrinsic to them. They have a permanent link to their t-shirt design located in the shop section of their main website, and in addition they have spoke out in several blogs and interviews about their involvement with the project. Therefore, this meets the criteria for being a notable reference, and so I am adding this entry back onto their wikipedia page. (Chooser663 (talk) 10:31, 1 May 2008 (UTC))[reply]

new album[edit]

these guys have an album they've announced on their official site. i failed to contribute that fact to the wiki page. maybe somebody who knows what they're doing can, and thus spread the word about some of the most exciting music news goin! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.142.74.13 (talk) 01:39, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Downward Critical Reception[edit]

Should something be included about how their first album garnered significant critical acclaim, but subsequent releases have not recieved good reviews? CVance1 (talk) 01:52, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
