Blame Irene: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Cancel Echoplex Show

People of Los Angeles, Due to the fact that all of our flights have been canceled, there is no possible way for us to make it to LA to play our show at the Echoplex. We were really looking forward to coming out west and seeing all your lovely faces! Between Sunset Junction and Irene it's been a rough couple of days. We'll make it back to LA soon, we promise.
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
