You Say Party (formerly You Say Party! We Say Die!) is a Canadian five piece dance-punk band from Abbotsford, British Columbia. Their album Hit the Floor! was released in September 2005, and the band recently completed their second Canadian tour, an appearance at South by Southwest and a tour of the United States, before touring the United Kingdom and Germany. Their second album Lose All Time was released in Canada on March 20, 2007, and in the United States on Aug 18, 2007, on Paper Bag Records, in the United Kingdom on June 18, 2007, on Fierce Panda Records and in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on August 17, 2007, on PIAS. Their third album XXXX was released on September 29, 2009 in Canada, February 9, 2010 in the USA and was released on May 17, 2010 in the UK. XXXX was released to critical acclaim, and reached #1 on Canadian campus radio charts on only its second week on the charts, remaining at #1 for six weeks straight. Additionally, XXXX’s lead single, “Laura Palmer’s Prom”, reached #1 on CBC Radio 3’s The R3-30 chart the week of November 28, 2009 and the band was asked to perform on CBC Radio One’s morning show Q.  YSP!WSD! played two shows for the 2010 Winter Olympics held in Vancouver, BC. In November 2009, Aux brought Becky together with one of her idols, Martha Johnson of Martha and the Muffins for a fascinating cross-generational interview.
On April 16, 2010, just after the band had just finished touring the U.S. and Western Canada, drummer Devon Clifford collapsed on stage during the band’s set at The Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver. He died on April 18, reportly as a result of complications arisen from a sudden brain hemorrhage. They were slated to begin a European tour later in the month in support of XXXX, starting in Germany in April and ending in Mallorca, Spain, in June.
The band subsequently announced that they were officially dropping “We Say Die” from their name, “out of respect for [Clifford] and the evolution of life”. It was also announced that Krista Loewen had left the band, while Robert Andow and Bobby Siadat of Vancouver band Gang Violence had joined, taking over keyboards and drums respectively.  On July 29, the band performed an outdoor show at Jubilee Park in their hometown of Abbotsford, their first live show since Clifford’s death. Siadat subsequently decided not to remain with the band, and was replaced by Al Boyle of the band Hard Feelings.
You Say Party recently unveiled the track listing for their new remix album, aptly titled REMIXXXX, which will have a digital-only release on September 21, 2010. Concurrently, the band announced a rescheduled series of concert dates in the United Kingdom and Ireland for fall 2010.
