You Say Party! We Say Die! Change Name, Keyboardist Leaves

They also have a new single, and will reschedule their cancelled European tour.

You Say Party You Say Party! We Say Die! have announced, amongst other things, that they've changed their name to just 'You Say Party', following the recent sudden death of their drummer, Devon Clifford.

Keyboardist Krista Loewen has also left the band, to be replaced, along with Devon, by Gang Violence's Robert Andow and Bobby Siadat.

You can read the full statement over on their official site, but here's an edited down version:

"Losing Devon has been a profound loss for the family this band has grown to become. We have taken some time out of the spotlight these last few months to heal, process, reflect and reevaluate the future of this band.

Krista has decided that her time with us has come to an end as she no longer desires the long drives, poor sleeps and revolting selection of road food.

We have turned to our good friends and former tour-mates Robert Andow and Bobby Siadat of Vancouver band “Gang Violence” to play keyboards and drums

The cancelled European tour is being rescheduled for this fall and we will announce the dates as soon as possible. We are also planning select shows for the rest of 2010.

Out of respect for Devon and the evolution of life, today we announce that we will no longer be known as “You Say Party! We Say Die!” but instead as simply “You Say Party”.

Lately, we’ve been thinking a lot about the words and meanings we’ve spoken through our music. To return you to the core message of our band, we present the first track “There is XXXX (Within My Heart)” as the next single in North America."

More details on those rescheduled European dates when we have them.
