I'm missing the bit were I apparently stated I'm personally acquainted with every last resident of limerick city/ county . But the handful of friends and acquaintances I do have from that region dislike them greatly . And tell me others do too .
What they get from them is, among other things, a long drawn out middle class arty sneer and mocking at the working class with their personas and stereotypes . Which is what passes for quite a bit of the shit on the trendy Dublin " comedy " circuit . Irish comedy is revoltingly shit , it's absolutely bloody awful. And they're no exception .
You sound bitter and projecting that bitterness . You and your miserable pals views are....mad!!! Let me just say this: The Rubberbandits art is from their music videos and podcasts, never mind the constant calls for young Irish people not to commit suicide on their Facebook. They constantly keep an eye on this and have a huge following and have made it around the world, as well as Ireland. They have done art exhibitions in Venice, played to sold out shows in New York, Japan, London, Australia - not that ticket sales mean anything. What they are doing, especially in terms of promoting gay rights and things like mental health awareness in Ireland is something that is badly needed. Its extremely important art, and all there in the videos posted here, and podcasts Black Halo posted above, where Blindboy proves himself pretty effortlessly as a well-informed, empathetic and socially aware young commentator on society. Unlike you. Its all in there on the links posted on this thread and it is from their work alone that they should be judged. And that is how they want to be observed too. Anyone reading this thread should have a really good look, and listen. And think for yourselves - thats what its all about.
