It’s been a whisper of a rumour for awhile now, but today it can finally be confirmed: Vancouver hitmakers You Say Party! We Say Die! are coming to Prince George.

The show is Saturday, April 10 and tickets are– get this– only $10. That’s thanks to the brilliant support of Northern Toyota who very generously agreed to help us out with the costs. We also need to extend our thanks to NUGSS who are pitching in, the folks at Sound Factory who are helping out with the equipment and lighting, and Best Western who will be providing accommodation for the band. It’s businesses like these who help make shows like this possible, so please show your support.

If you haven’t heard of them somehow, You Say Party! We Say Die! are a Vancouver five-piece with fans around the globe, thanks in large part to their extensive touring and the success of their latest album XXXX. This has been a critical success, even earning a favourable review from the notoriously hard-to-please Pitchfork media. It has also hit number one on campus charts last November, and is still holding strong in the top 10.

Having won over audiences as part of Vancouver 2010’s Cultural Olympiad, YSP!WSD! are heading to the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas this month, then hopping north to Prince George just a few days before embarking on a two-month European tour. They’re bringing newcomers Makeout Videotape with them, too, so get ready for a full night of great music.

Anyways, enough babble. Here’s what you need to know:

Who? You Say Party! We Say Die! with guests Makeout Videotape

Here at CFUR we want to help make it easier. That’s why we’ve started the PG Poster Project, a collaborative online map that we hope will eventually contain details about all the storefronts and back alleys and community centers posters are accepted. Take a look and help us out.

I don’t know about you, but the month of February has been full of bitterness for me.  To commemorate this, my show tomorrow will be love-orientated.  Not feeling in the mood?  No worries, I’ve found some treats that showcase the downside of being a star-crossed lover.

Drop in and spend the hour with me and all my friends: T.Rex, The Halo Benders, and Jens Lekman.

Every Thursday from 5-6pm, only on the Furrrrrr.
