Alec Ounsworth & The Pelican Picnic & Stuff
On September 1st Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (CYHSY) kick off their Fall tour which includes dates with the National in NYC and elsewhere, a 9/16 CMJ show with Ambulance at Mercury Lounge, and a trip into Canada.
Alec Ounsworth is the singer of CYHSY.
Two days before the tour (August 30th, 2005), "Alec Ounsworth and the Pelican Picnic" are playing Mercury Lounge. According to Alec's website, the only other band name he goes by is Flashy Python and the Body Snatchers. The Pelican Picnic is a new one, so I guess this one has secret CYHSY show written all over it, but I have no idea.
The full lineup for the August 30th show includes Doveman, The Silent League, and the King of France. No advanced tickets (yet at least)
* You know who Doveman is, but in case you missed it, Doveman are playing my show at Tonic and I took pics of their Joe's Pub show.
* The Silent League are also at Scenic for CMJ
* The King of France are playing with Magnolia Electric Co. and touring with Robbers on High Street
* Clap Your Hands Say Yeah just played South Street Seaport
* Alec Ounsworth recently played Pianos

anyone have any more info on the pelican picnic show? in Time Out's listing they allude to it being Ounsworth solo, but they're never totally reliable for that kind of stuff. Also, all of his solo gigs have tended to be opening sets, versus this one being the 10:30 pm slot, and it would make perfect sense for CYHSY to use it as a warmup gig before heading out on tour (and would also be weird timing for him to play with another band)
