Todd DuymYou Say Party! We Say Die!, with People Eating People. Chop Suey, 1325 E. Madison St., 324-8000. 8 p.m. $10. Good news for American fans for You Say Party! We Say Die! – four years after bassist Stephen Shea pissed off border control and got himself banned from entering the U.S., the Canadian dance-punk outfit is finally allowed to tour our territory. YSP! WSD! is promoting their third album, XXXX, a surprisingly dark and emotional piece of work. Somewhere along the line between now and the shrieky frenzy that was their debut record, Hit The Floor!, the quintet has developed towards the graver, more sedated side of the New Wave. Songs like “Laura Palmer’s Prom” and “There Is XXXX (Within My Heart),” dominated by frontwoman Becky Ninkovic’s eerily dramatic vocals and haunting synthesizers, are still dance tracks, per se, but it’s going to be a swaying, dazed and drugged out kind of dance. ERIN K. THOMPSONA Sunny Day In Glasgow, with Perfume Genius, Secret Colors. Vera Project, 305 Harrison St., 956-8372. 7:30 p.m. $10. All ages.Philadelphia sextet A Sunny Day in Glasgow – so named for the city in which one of the founding (now former) members was living prior to returning to the States and starting the band in 2006 – crafts dreamy, woozy rock music by running their guitars through an ass-load of pedals, slathering on some droney, noisy textures, and gently placing some feathery female vocals on top. I suppose you could call it “shoegazer'” their vibe is vaguely reminiscent of MBV, Ride, Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, and the like. Thankfully, these ladies and lads have actual, honest-to-goodness melodies to go along with the swirly atmospherics and celestial vocal harmonies that tend to nudge things away from the ruminative and downcast to brighter, more uplifting spaces.
