DIOYY? photo by Chrissy Piper

Yo Majesty shows have been known to venture into some fairly, er, revealing territory. So any band willing to travel with the duo needs to be able to weather the potential controversy that comes with their tourmates' potent combination of uncompromising, sexually-charged electro-rap and occasional (okay, okay, frequent) toplessness.

Good thing the provocateurs of Does It Offend You, Yeah?-- whose very name seems to lend them the right sort of salt for the job-- have come along to raise at least one probing query of their own. The two groups have big plans to follow their respective appearances at Coachella with a joint North American tour, running from late April through the middle of May.

Both groups have dates apart before and after their time together, and some other stuff going on besides. DIOYY?'s debut LP, You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into, hits the States April 15 on Almost Gold (the UK edition arrived today). And Yo Majesty, who recently appeared on Neon Neon's Stainless Style, are due to capitalize on last fall's Domino signing any year now.
