From Pizza to Lunch x Central City Brew Pub x Surrey

Lunch at Central City Brew Pub at Central City Shopping Centre in Surrey on October 13, 2013.



I made the rare trek to Surrey and Central City Plaza to meet Scott and Dennis for beers and lunch on this quiet Thanksgiving weekend Sunday afternoon. The guys ordered a couple double "incredible" Caesar cocktails (with bacon, blue cheese stuffed olives and horseradish). It was more satisfactory in taste than its lavish composition.

Concert: You Say Party! We Say Die! x Rickshaw Theatre

You Say Party! We Say Die! with Petroleum By-Product and Makeout Videotape live in concert at the Rickshaw Theatre on April 16, 2010.



Before the unfortunate collapse of drummer Devon Clifford, Abbotsford rockers You Say Party! We Say Die!, were well on their way to putting forth another stellar, solid performance, belting out their dance punk hits with drive and purpose. Their great set at the Surrey Celebration Site during the Olympics compelled me to see them once again at the Rickshaw Theatre last night.

New Music: You Say Party! We Say Die!

My favourite band of the moment is probably Abbotsford dance rockers, You Say Party! We Say Die! Their intriguing new wave sound is joyous and powerful to rock out to.

Their latest album, XXXX, which stands for "love" is laced with danceable tunes mixed with a rough rock sound and ethereal lyrics. Every track is infused with a kind of energy and raw appeal that is refreshing and highly enjoyable. Each song on XXXX conveys its own story and momentum in creative ways. I hate to make musical comparisons, but there is an undeniable quality that resembles the magic of Karen O and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. My affinity for rock bands featuring female lead singers with reckless abandon continues as You Say Party! We Say Die! has refined their unique sound to new heights.

You Say Party! We Say Die! will be playing for free at the Surrey 2010 Celebration Site in Holland Park on February 28 and head out on a tour of Canada in April.
