You Say Party! We Say Not Without a Visa!


Last October, You Say Party, We Say Die! Tried to cross the US border. They had applied for and been denied a visa because they were not making enough money. Such is the love of the Party for their fans that they tried to cross anyway and are now banned from the US.

The Band has posted a petition at www.petitionspot.com/petitions/YSPUSA asking that they be allowed to return and play for their fans in the US.

Regardless of which side of the border you live on - please sign the petition and

If you're in Canada write your MP and ask them to help smooth things over. If you don't have it handy you can find your MP using this: http://www.canada.gc.ca/directories/direct_e.html.

If you're in the U.S. write your Congress person. The easy Congress person finder thingy is at http://www.house.gov/writerep/ .

I'll try to follow up on this when I return from vacation - in the mean time though - if you visit the You Say Party! We Say Die! MySpace you can hear their entire new album - even if you live in the U.S.

They must have, for some reason, taken it down. It worked when I put it up, but you're right. It doesn't anymore.
