After moving to South Texas and attending several Austin shows, Josh realized that the crowds lacked energy and physical participation. Upon further examination, he came to the conclusion that the lack of audience response was directly related to their fears of social damnation. In a too-hip-to-be-square world where no one wants to be the person dancing alone, the people needed someone or something to inspire the destruction of social constructs and the liberation of the one set of musical instruments that everyone possesses, whether they know it or not: their hands.
Amongst the wake of a clap-less music scene, it was San Marcos where the conception of Clap!Clap! took place. Armed with 10 members, including a clap choir, and more percussion instruments than you can shake a clave stick at, Clap!Clap! strives to bring clapping back into the music scene. Their self-titled first song is more than a theme for the band; it's a mission statement. It commands the common clergy folk to leave what reservations they have behind and bask in the fruition of dance. With over a year and a half of shows under their belt, Clap!Clap! has built a following most would envy. They stand tall in a sea of Texas bands and are in a constant continuum of pushing their music forward by testing the limits of their aural abilities. Clap!Clap! has taken their stake - prepare your hands and feet. It's time to get up so you can get down.
