Where to begin....
The Rubberbandits our beginning to straddle the comedic and music worlds like a tracksuit wearing colossus. Two men from Limerick, Ireland who are know only as Blindboy Boatclub and Mr. Chrome have manipulated and bullied their way to a level far beyond either their talent or intellect. Songs like “Bag of Glue”, “Too Many Gee” and “Up Da Ra” have made them the 12th most popular MySpace page in the whole of Ireland!
Their live show is basically a Prime Time special on Limerick gangs, sniffing glue as an aphrodisiac when encountering larger ladies, horses….the list goes on. Blindboy Boat Club and Mr. Chrome will present a perspective on life that only two roadside fruit sellers who got a start selling mix tapes through local Limerick drug dealers can provide.
A headline slot in the little big arena at Electric Picnic this year saw scenes of mass hysteria and their set was cited as one of the top picks of the Picnic. Their single Horse Outside was released on December 8, 2010 via iTunes and the video premiere was on Republic of Telly on that night, and within 72 hours, it had reached 530,000 views on YouTube and became the top rated Youtube video in Ireland. In just 5 days, the video reached over 950,000 views. Paddy Power placed the track at 8/11 and as favourite for Christmas No. 1. So well worth keeping tabs on these guys....
