Coachella Day Three: Does it Offend You, Yeah?
Purveyors of sleazy electro-rock, the U.K.'s Does it Offend You, Yeah? have been building an ever-increasing buzz over the last few months and they made quite a fun debut at Coachella on Sunday. They seem to have an affinity for various levels of trashy art (their debut "You Have No Idea Wat You're Getting Yourself Into" has three tracks named after cult films -- "Dawn of the Dead," "Weird Science" and "Battle Royale"), and their rambunctious, dancey mix of garage and club sounds has drawn accurate comparisons to LCD Soundsystem, !!! and the Klaxons. They also crib from '80s synthpop and, like many groups on display, Daft Punk. In one of the few "political" statements of the day, the group dedicated their insanely catchy "Let's Make Out" to shamed NY governor Elliot Spitzer.
