You Say Party Facebook
"We're not a punk band anymore," Stephen O'Shea, bass player in Vancouver party-rockers
You Say Party tells Spinner. "It used to be, 'You Say Party are a dance-punk band with 4/4 beats and really loud drums.' Now it's four friends who are all songwriters who really care about each other." The band's new MO is certainly warranted. After a trying year that saw the group's drummer Devon Clifford
collapse on stage from what would prove to be a fatal brain hemorrhage, lose keyboardist Krista Loewen, drop the "You Say Die" half of their original You Say Party! We Say Die! name, and soldier on with friends Al Boyle and Rob Andow augmenting the remaining trio, You Say Party went on "
indefinite hiatus" last April. However, they were coaxed out of retirement when Paper Bag Records co-founder Trevor Larocque asked them to take part in the Toronto-based label's tenth anniversary celebrations this Saturday at the Great Hall in Toronto.
