In Photos: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah + Meursault @ Tripod, Dublin (25.01.12)

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah got their European tour under way recently with a midweek show at Dublin's Tripod. The gig had been bumped up from The Button Factory a number of weeks beforehand - a sure sign that last year's Hysterical LP has made up most of the ground lost by 2007's rather underwhelming Some Loud Thunder, as well as no doubt winning Alec Ounsworth and co. plenty of new fans into the bargain.

You can browse our gallery featuring the New Yorkers in action below (there's also a handful of shots of Scottish rockers Meursault, who supported). The tour continues next week, stopping off in Birmingham (Monday, February 6), Brighton (Tuesday) and London (Wednesday) before moving on to mainland Europe.
