Clap Your Hands Say Graf Part Deux

Austinist (sort of) got to the bottom of the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah graffiti we asked about a while ago. How? They went to the band...

Is that story true about you guys finding your name inscribed on that wall in Brooklyn?

-Oh, that story’s true.

What was the background behind that graffiti?

-We don’t know what the sign was there for, what its context was.

Surely by now, someone’s come forward to say ‘Oh, this was by me, I put it up there because of this or the other’. I mean, it’s a pretty flashy statement.

-I kind of always thought it was a local church group that put it up there. It seems sort of gospel-ly.

So you guys just happened upon it, and decided ‘this is it!”

-Yah – I think that’s the only name we really considered.

Now, will whoever originally tagged the wall please step up!
