Rubberbandits commit swanocide + new Gabriel Byrne puppet video

The chaps are currently halfway through a 27-night run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which appears to be going swimmingly. But not for a particular species of bird.
“We’ve got a new act now,” Blind Boy Boat Club tells Hot Press. “We divide the stage with a chalk line; one of us on one side of the line tells witty one-liners about Roy Keane and the Dáil, while the other one chokes a swan until it’s dead.”
The Rubberbandits obviously don’t realise that all British swans belong to the Queen, and that their heads are likely to be stuck on big spiky poles outside Buckingham Palace. If they manage to evade capture, the Limerick twosome will be lighting up the Electric Picnic. See our next issue for more.
