   About THE CLAP
We started out in the late 90's just fuck arseing around with home recordings and stuff, it wasn't till 2001 when the original line up came together of Matt Close, Luke Hoskins, Mathew Hoskins, and Shane Stephens on drums.

Not really much happened until 2005 when THE CLAP started playing live around Newcastle, more gigs and a bit of a local following started and it all got a lot bigger in 2006 when the band decided to record the first album. The imaginatively titled album "THE CLAP" (released on noise machine) contained a very sparse rock sound and tracks like Scary Man which had been kicking around in some form or another since 1996! The album also contained a lot more later material like the instant "classics" Get On The Dole and Che Guevara T-Shirt Wearer.

2007 was full up with more gigs and shows around NSW, Tasmania and Victoria, which gained the band even more notoriety, new songs were being tried out, and many new friends being made on the way.

2008 was a very slow year for the band with personal problems making it impossible for THE CLAP to perform except for dodgy and acoustic gigs (some with our mate macca on drums) which were extremely well received by audiences still seeking a dose of THE CLAP, but really when you think about it sucked big old balls considering THE CLAP are a loud rock band....

May 2009 sees the new era of THE CLAP, David Stafford joins the band on drums and almost immediately they jump straight into it by playing a series of dates with hellraisers BUG GIRL, an explosive appearance alongside legendary aussie rockers X, and a handful of shows with Tassies number 1 crazy mothers THE MUDDY TURDS up in Bellingen and back in Newcastle.

You can't keep a good disease named band down...

New EP out soon followed by a national tour

watch this space you dirty buggers....
