Good news for indie fans disallusioned with their favorite bands playing gigantic arenas. Because look who’s rolling into town for two nights at Neumo’s this weekend — it’s Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Elvis Perkins in Dearland. With far more fame and light shows that you’d typically expect from a band whose two albums have been self-released, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah reliably put on great shows. Even the less than infectious songs from this year’s Some Loud Thunder spring to life and benefit from the live treatment. (For a preview, check out last year’s show at the Black Cat [npr]). Just wait, when they play “the Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth”, you can close your eyes, dance crazily, and it will be the blissful summer of 2005 all over again.

Our pals at Neumo’s think that you should be there; so we’re helping by giving away a pair of tickets for each night. Send an e-mail to seattle.metblogs @ gmail.com and you’ll be entered to win. Sunday’s show is all-ages; so let me know if you’re under 21 and can only go that day.

We’ll pick a winner by Friday evening. Not willing to try your luck? Advance tickets are $15 [neumos (sat), neumos (sun)]
