Okay I found another song that it is pretty cool. It will make you want to "clap your hands" as the band's title suggests. I haven't gotten a chance to hear the full album that came out June 23rd but it seems to be getting good reviews.

The band name links to their myspace site where you can listen to more of their songs. I think this band is making some refreshingly unique music, while honoring all different kinds of music at the same time. The songs I've heard from the album all have a different feel to them.

They are currently touring through Europe but most of the members are from Brooklyn or in the New York City metro area. The band has been around for a while but has added new pieces and recorded this debut album. Original members include Daniel Collas and Sean Marquand began as New York DJ's but decided they would rather make their own music. Check these guys out, you won't regret it.
