Put Your Hands on Standby
NYC blog rockers Clap Your Hands Say Yeah made a few ripples through DCist the last time they came to town. Have they honed their live show any more since the last time around? Or, as some people would say, learned to play their songs yet? These observations and more will be yours to make on March 8 as they play the 9:30 Club. Tickets are available through the CYHSY website (you have to register first).

Calla Show Cancelled
More news from the NYC indie rock front: Calla, scheduled to play next Thursday at the Black Cat, has cancelled the show. We’re not sure what caused the cancellation, but they do appear to be keeping their Wednesday and Friday gigs in tact (Philly and Baltimore, respectively).

Tour News
D.C. is, as of yet, getting no love from many newly announced tours (The Boy Least Likely To, Mylo, Isobel Campbell, Of Montreal, Andrew Bird, Mogwai and Imogen Heap), but we do have a few things coming our way. Feist will be playing the Black Cat on Feb 8, as will the Hold Steady on Feb 1. Two out of nine ain’t bad…right?
