"Looking for the early frontrunner for the &amp;quot;D.A.N.C.E.&amp;quot; of 2009? Check out a new track from the Phenomenal Handclap Band, a genre-breaking Manhattan/Brooklyn collective that are guaranteed to soundtrack a lion&amp;apos;s share of parties this summer with a self-titled LP that shifts from rock to disco to psychedelia without hitting the brakes. Click below to download the band&amp;apos;s anthemic &amp;quot;15 to 20,&amp;quot; which features guest Lady Tygra rapping like Debbie Harry on Blondie&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Rapture&amp;quot; over a made-for-summer beat.\r\nThe Phenomenal Handclap Band is the brainchild of Daniel Collas and Sean Marquand, a pair of New York DJs that went from playing other people&amp;apos;s music to having the dance floors packed with their own jams. The duo added friends Patrick Wood, Nicholas Movshon, Luke O&amp;apos;Malley, Laura Marin, Bing Ji Ling, Pier Pappalardo and Joan Tick to their roster, forming the wildly-catchy juggernaut you hear now. On their self-titled debut, the band also recruited the likes of TV on the Radio&amp;apos;s Jaleel Bunton, Jon Spencer, Calla&amp;apos;s Aurelio Valle, Bart Davenport and Carol C to contribute to the multilayered tracks. The Phenomenal Handclap Band is out June 23rd via Friendly Fire Recordings."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
