| RUBBER BANDITS WITH SPECIAL GUESTS HARDY BUCKS |
|
From opening up for Ice Cube to hosting a 2000 person Mustache Party on the banks of the River Shannon, the Rubber Bandits have via prank phone calls, songs and riotous live shows emerged as the country's surrealists beyond compare. Straddling the comedy and music worlds like a tracksuit wearing collosus, Blind Boy Boat Club and Mr. Chrome have manipulated and bullied their way to a level far beyond either their talent and intellect.Songs like "Bag of Glue", "Too many Gee" and "Up Da Ra" have made them the 12th most popular my space page in the whole of Ireland beaten only by traditional Irish bands who aren't even from here. Their Live show which has sold out in Limerick, Dublin and Dungarvan's Lower East Side is basically a prime time special on the Limerick gangs but Live at the Aqaudome while fornicating with fat women while high on glue or the simple pleasure of training a horse to rob a mobile phone. Blindboy Boat Club and Mr. Chrome will present a perspective on life that only 2 roadside fruit sellers who caught their start selling mixtapes through local Limerick drug dealers can provide. www.myspace.com/rubberbanditspranks
HARDY BUCKS Hardy Bucks follows the escapades of four lazy, but likable lads from Castletown, Co. Mayo, as they struggle with the vicissitudes of life in small town, recessionary Ireland. Followed by a documentary crew, they set about attempting to make money, and attract some ‘gamey women,’ all the while trying to avoid a confrontation with their 10-spot dealing nemesis, the Viper, in the local ball alley. The show is gaining notoriety on you tube, and is in the final two in RTÉ’s Storyland competition. The live show combines the authenticity of the lads’ existences with the surrealistic aspects of some of the goings on and characters around the town.
