Jason Miller was hanging out with his friend Jake Weaver in his room, both trying to think of a name for the band they had formed with their pals Roald Dietzman and Austin Ryan-Mas. Miller is somewhat of a poster connoisseur—his room is covered in tons of them, appropriate for a film studies major. Weaver noticed that one of Miller's Resident Assistant Rules of Conduct posters hung next to an Obama party poster. The juxtaposition of the two provided Weaver with the inspiration for the band's name: Conduct Party. The group crafts unreasonably dancy ditties that meld together elements of post-punk, surf rock, disco, and a tiny touch of ska. Dietzman's propulsive high hat combined with chiming guitar lines and shouty vocals (apparently inspired by fellow student stagers, The Brain Cooks) are premium for a party on the Student Green. The group is known to party amongst themselves as well. Members have been known to mix questionable amounts of Warheads candy and put them in his mouth. When touring, the group wrestle each other to determine who will spend the night in the most quality sleeping bag. The group hopes to unite their audience at Quadstock so that "everyone becomes one." They also hope the audience will give them all of their Warhead candies. Conduct Party promises that one day, they will be in SkyMall Magazine.
