With respect to their lost friend, You Say Party! We Say Die! have changed their name to simply “You Say Party”. Get all the details about the name change after the jump.

YSP have also notified fans that keyboardist Krista Loewen is leaving band to return to school. Their friends and touring bandmates, Robert Andow and Bobby Siadat of Vancouver trio Gang Violence, will take over on keyboards and drums.

In their official statement they relate “Devon would never have wanted his death to end the band…[and we] look forward to carrying the spirit of our friend Devon with us everywhere.” And in that spirit of optimism, You Say Party is currently rescheduling the European tour that was cancelled in the wake of Devon Clifford's death, and will announce the new dates in the near future.
