Love, love, love ...

You Say Party! We Say Die! will play a free show on Monday, Jan. 18 at Megatunes. Time: 4 p.m. (A gig at Sonic 102.9 FM is also in the works.)

The Vancouver dance-punks are making up for one of the previous cancellations, according to the Whyte Avenue store's website. The show is part of YSP!WSD!'s quick loop of AB/BC ... before they head south for their first tour of the U.S. in four years. (They were stymied by a silly little legal issue, which was recently cleared up. Congrats!)

Death to dark days

“It was a moment of revelation for me. I was really feeling a lot of darkness inside and it was my heart song, calling for help. It’s a pretty personal and spiritual song for me.”-- singer Becky Ninkovic talks about writing the lyrics to You Say Party! We Say Die!'s song, Dark Days. Listen to it HERE.

Read about Dark Days and the rest of YSP! WSD!'s new synth-punk album, XXXX, in the Edmonton Journal. The Vancouver fivesome will perform Friday, Nov. 27 at New City with Little Girls and Christian Hansen & The Autistics. Advance tickets are $10 at the New City Likker Box and Megatunes.
