The Rapture DJs – Live in Toronto – Wednesday 8.27.2008
YOU SAY PARTY! WE SAY DIE!
Wednesday, August 27, 2008
Burroughes Building (639 Queen St. W.)
Sessions and REMG Entertainment are proud to present You Say Party! We Say Die! live in concert with special guests the Rapture DJs at the Burroughes Building on Queen Street West on Wednesday, August 27.
After an incredible, and simultaneously tumultuous 2007, Vancouver’s own You Say Party! We Say Die! are back – in some form at least. While YSP!WSD! are busy working on songs for their next album, the band is very excited to announce the digital-only release of Remik’s Cube, reworkings of their critically-acclaimed 2007 sophomore release Lose All Time, set for release via Paper Bag Digital on August 26.
Remik’s Cube contains the expressions of the remixer’s interpretations of YSP!WSD! live show. When you walk in to the room at a YSP!WSD! show, the atmosphere is electric. Neon blinking on and off, too loud music, the momentum kicks you into DANSK-space. You can tell you arrived, before you even walked in. You absolutely have to stop and stare.
The Rapture were forerunners of the post-punk revival of the early 2000s, as they mixed their early post-punk sound with electronic and dance elements via their collaboration with the celebrated New York production team DFA. The band is currently making new music while multi-instrumentalist Gabriel Andruzzi and Matt Safer break out spinning tunes as The Rapture DJs. They’ve blown away crowds as far and wide as Santiago, Chile and Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Rapture has a new song out right now called “No Sex For Ben” in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV.
Don’t miss this exclusive chance to catch You Say Party! We Say Die! live in concert along with special guests the Rapture DJs as part of Sessions.
