Last night, ‘Does it Offend you yeah?’ played a bloody good set in front of a roaring crowd (which also included lil auld me).
The location: Electric Ballroom, Camden.
The guys pumped up the energy of the audience with their infusion of new wave, electro rock and dance punk. The band, whose name originates from the wise words of David Brent in The Office, are one of those annoying bands you can’t help but love.
The highlight for me by far was ‘Let’s make out’ which is still playing away in my head as I write this – it’s just that catchy god dammit! What I loved about the band was that they even took a break to speak to the audience about the whole Russell Brand/ Jonathan Ross fiasco -ooohh controversial - and dedicated a song to poor Kerry Katona. How sweet!
Their debut album 'You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into', which came out earlier this year, is loaded full of great beats that had everyone in Electric Ballroom jumping in the air and waving their arms around their heads as if detached from their bodies. I suppose you could say the atmosphere in Electric Ballroom was em… ‘electric’ – ooh cheesy! I apologise for that. Actually no, no I don't.
‘Does it Offend you yeah?’ repeatedly mentioned throughout the night how great it was to be back in London. Well lads, we were delighted to have ya!
