DOES IT OFFEND YOU YEAH? DENY FAKE MEMBERS RUMOUR
British rockers DOES IT OFFEND YOU YEAH?’s lead vocalist MORGAN QUAINTANCE has dismissed rumours he and drummer ROB BLOOMFIELD are "hired hands" - insisting the group is not fake.
A new report by U.K. music magazine NME alleges the band’s founding members James Rushent and Dan Coop only employed the pair as temporary musicians, but Quaintance has laughed off the claims, insisting the article was inaccurate.
However, he admits the publicity the drama has caused is still good news for the band.
He says, "The first rumour is that Rob and I are somehow not part of DIOYY, that we are sort of ‘hired hands’ if you know what I mean. This couldn’t be farther from the truth, both Rob and I are fully functioning members of DIOYY.
DIOYY is our band as much as it is James’ and Dan’s.
"Okay, the last thing we want to say is that we are not criticising anyone journalistically speaking. Freedom of the press is a concept I wholly embrace, and I’m just happy we’re getting written about.
"We (just) don’t want you thinking that there’s some sordid swindle going on and that the band onstage are some kind of fabrication. All we want to do is play music, throw down on stage, have a party."
