Arrival Time:	Past Event

Event Description :

Join us on our studio stage for a Mini-Concert featuring DOES IT OFFEND YOU, YEAH?!!!Does It Offend You, Yeah? are a British electro-rock band from Reading. The live band is made up of four members: James Rushent (bass, recorded & live vocals), Dan Coop (synths), Morgan Quaintance (live vocals, synths, guitar), and Rob Bloomfield (drums).

Does It Offend You, Yeah? are often compared to dance-oriented acts like Daft Punk, Justice and Digitalism. However, NME has also compared them to bands like Muse, Rage Against the Machine, and !!! due to their heavier, more 'live' sound.[1] The group are known for their raucous live shows, which often end in stage diving and broken instruments.

They have remixed songs for major acts such as Muse and Bloc Party. They supported The Cribs on the NME Awards Tour, which took place at venues across the UK and Ireland at the start of 2008.

The band revealed the origins of their name as being from British sitcom The Office. In an interview with NME.com, synth player Dan Coop explained: "Everybody thinks the name is some kind of statement but it's a quote from David Brent in an episode of 'The Office'. "When me and James Rushent first started writing music together we decided to put it up on MySpace. We needed a name to put as our profile name so just put what was the first thing that was said on TV, we switched it on and Ricky Gervais said 'Does it offend you, yeah? My drinking?' so we just went with that. No thought went into it whatsoever."

Does It Offend You, Yeah? will be opening for Nine Inch Nails for part of the 2008 North American Tour.

	I attended this event with a friend of mine but we were turned away because they said they reached maximum capacity but then they let us and a few others wait in the lobby until the band performed.
