UK’s Does It Offend You, Yeah? had the crowd thrusting their fists in the air.
Hid out at the Fader Fortress for a patch on the first full-tilt SXSW convention day, yesterday, March 12. Making up for a lackluster and unimaginative Chikita Violenta, England’s Does It Offend You, Yeah? had a crowd of hipsters quaffing free booze bouncing and throwing their hands up to crunching beats and spectacularly trashy synth sounds – can a live band replicate the heavy dance-pop of Justice et al? The T-shirted everyguy combo sure did – with plenty of stage antics to boot.
Mean it: Does It Offend You, Yeah?
Yacht closed out the night with their party-starting (or, eh, -ending) dance tracks and move. Someone give this boy a ghostwriting pop songwriting job – or better make him the next Justin Timberlake. It was tough to follow Does It Offend You, but JB managed with a little help from his dance partner.
Yacht closed the party with a crash.
