Clap Your Hands Say Final Fantasy

As if you needed another reason to break your ban on all things above 14th St this New Year's Eve, the Clap Your Hands party at Hammerstein just got a little sweeter: The Clap kids will receive opening support from he who poos clouds, Mr. Final Fantasy! Owen joins Bob Mould as a scheduled opener for CYHSY, which means the show has cooler openers than most have headliners. And you still have about a day to try and win one of five pairs of tix we're giving away to the celebration. Enter here. If not, you can still buy buy tix, even if it means a little off the top for Ticketbastard.

wow if the tickets weren't so expensive I'd go for owen and leave before CYHSY , seeing that I'd never want to ring in the new year with 1: bad music and 2: lame CYHSY underage fans

just in case anyone reading this is unaware of this fact, cyhsy should be supporting final fantasy. ah well, no one will give a shit about them six months after album no.2 gets its release.

Why the negativity? And why does either band have to be "opening for the other"? Conceptually, this is adding to the competitive, tiered view of music that profit-driven corporations created. Many of the greatest music movements have been highly collaborative and organizationally flat. As far as musical enjoyment is concerned, they are two bands playing on the same stage. Period.

What's Bob Mould doing opening for these guys? He's way better than that. It's nice to see he'll at least be giving Blowoff a little break and getting back to the music.

Bob Mould is playing because he wants to sleep with someone in Clap Your Hands Get the Clap, or already is with Owen.

And the new CYHSYY sounds like Supertramp.

Sorry if I ruined it, but it does.

I'll be coming up from Philadelphia for this show, and possibly can't get there until 10:30, maybe even later. Does anyone think this show will go until midnight? I really only want to see CYHSY but if its only for a song or two, I'll just craigslist my tickets. Thoughts?

my tickets say doors 8:00.
Livenation.com says show 9:30.

I assume that means the opening bands will start at 9:30, and really hope so because I can't get there until 10:00 either.
