SUNDAY
Ten years, people. It’s been 10 years since Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s seminal, self-titled debut album burst onto the indie rock scene. Back then, that off-kilter guitar and fuzzy keyboard sound, paired with Alec Ounsworth's warbly voice, fit right in with the other hot indie acts of the moment — especially the track “The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth.” The band has made plenty of music since, but nothing quite as influential as that first release. For this summer tour, which includes a stop at the Bartlett on Sunday, the band is playing their debut in its entirety. Check out the recently released anniversary edition of the record, including 12 bonus tracks. The all-ages show starts at 8 pm and is $15.


LOOKING AHEAD...

MONDAY
No less than three big shows happen Monday in the Spokane area: Rock out with Melissa Etheridge, Blondie and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts at Northern Quest Resort and Casino. Read our interview with Etheridge here. Swoon over Harry Connick Jr. at the INB Performing Arts Center, or feel the piano/Grateful Dead vibes with Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers at the Bing Crosby Theater.

WEDNESDAY
Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World takes on the Bartlett and Alice in Chains plays the Knitting Factory, but note the latter, 21+ show sold out long ago.
