Took these shots just before Christmas. The band were in flying form as usual. Only getting around to posting them now, better late than ever.
The Discarded Retarded @ The Academy 19/03/08
I came across The Discarded Retarded by chance at the Battle of the Bands Competition which is currently being held at the Academy every Wednesday night. As mentioned in my earlier blog re Aortal the ultimate prize is to play at Oxygen 2008. The Discarded Retarded burst on to stage with two of their members wearing huge masks of Bertie Aherne and Mary Harney.Their performance, if I was to sum it up in one word would be manic. The guy wearing the Bertie Aherne mask had bottles stuffed in his shorts which he was banging with sticks! I didn't know whether to just enjoy this band or take some photos. Here is a few I took Despite their energetic performance, the Winner of that nights heat was Mob Fandango
