Having already declared, ‘We Are Rockstars’ the cheekily charming electro outfit that we know and love as Does It Offend You, Yeah? are the rising stars of dancefloor mayhem, making them perfectly placed to cause a ruckus on the dancefloor as part of the Shockwaves NME Tour 2008.

DIOY,Y? are... going to make parents scared!

Q: On last year's tour Simon Klaxon and Lovefoxxx fell in love. Who'll fall in love this year?

A: "It anyone does it'll be Dan, our keyboardist. He's just like that, he falls in love with any girl who shows him her tits. He's a very needy - but nice - person."

Q: You guys are big party animals, right?

A: "When we decide to, we go in and party hard. On tour we usually party for the first week, then it hits you and you're screwed. You have to leave it for a week. Then go for it again."

Q: What drink will you bring to the party?

A: "Mojitos all the way. I seek them out and drink as many as I can."

Q: Will you join Ryan for a stage-jump?

A: "We'll have our own moshing action. When you're in a band the whole point of playing live is to make people go crazy and get the moshpit going. The whole place is going to get really crazy."

Q: Could you fit into a pair of Joe Lean's jeans?

A: "Part of me could: my legs. And my arse. But the rest of me, forget it. They'd have to let out some room in the crotch area, too."

Q: Who will cause the most mischief on tour?

A: "Morgan [DIOY,Y? frontman], definitely. He likes to push peoples' buttons. Once he's found their insecurities he pushes as much as he can. He'll piss people off, push them to the edge."
