The Rubberbandits were an Irish comedy hip-hop duo from Limerick. They consisted of Blindboy Boatclub and Mr Chrome. During performances and interviews, they concealed their identities with masks made from plastic shopping bags. They were often accompanied by DJ Willie O'DJ, a silent masked caricature of local politician Willie O'Dea. The group described themselves as artists, and had dubbed their movement as "Gas Cuntism". Chambers and McGlynn met while attending Ardscoil Rís, Limerick. Primarily a satirical stage and television act, they have performed throughout Ireland, the UK and the US with shows at events such as Electric Picnic, Oxegen and the Bulmers International Comedy Festival. The Rubberbandits first rose to prominence in December 2010, when their music video "Horse Outside" went viral on YouTube. They have since won awards for both their music and comedy. In 2011, the duo were declared "Best Irish Act" at the entertainment.ie awards, and also won an IFTA award for "Horse Outside".
