Dear Londoners -
prepare to meet your new favorite band...
Australia's Rudely Interrupted graced us with their unforgettable presence last week with three performances here in New York City. Fox News's Red Eye sat down with the band at their UN performance on 12/3 to get the inside scoop. Vice Magazine caught up with them later in the week (12/6) at their Fontana's show to get the low down. If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and check out Rudely Interrupted, direct from Down Under to your ears by way of The Musebox.
It's a big week in Rudely Interrupted land...
Anyone who couldn’t get in to see Australia’s Rudely Interrupted from 1 to 2 pm on December 3rd need not despair: the UN’s very first indie-band performance will be playing a show that night. At Public Assembly (70 N. 6th Street) in Brooklyn with Looker, Peachcake and DJ Nora & Sam FTW, the show starts at 9, is open to the public and sans metal detector wands. ($5 cover).
RUDELY INTERRUPTED BKLYN


Inspiring is a word that gets tossed around all too often in music journalism. But in the case of Rudely Interrupted, it’s the most fitting adjective possible. Arguably Australia’s most unique group of musicians, five out of six band members share a range of physical and intellectual disabilities – blindness, deafness, aspergers, Autism and Down Syndrome. But you’d have no way of knowing listening to pop gems like “Don’t Break My Heart,” because, as Time Out suggested, “their music is some of the most energetic and genuine to emerge from the Australian rock ‘n’ roll underground in recent times.”
"Their songs lift the band above the realm of novelty and give them a cultural cache in the image-obsessed world of indie rock."– Time Out
"Every artist has a selling point, from Pete Doherty (smackhead) to 50 Cent (bullet-proof) and even Train (blandness). What separates them from the William Hung’s of this world is that their shtick does not outweigh their abilities as artists. Melbourne’s Rudely Interrupted, a band whose members suffer from a range of intellectual disabilities, play a brand of Killers-esque pop so catchy that you quickly leave your preconceptions at the door. You may also start to question your own potential in life." – Lost At E Minor
Rudely Interrupted will make history this December, becoming the first band to perform at the United Nations in New York. Indeed, on the 2nd and 3rd, the band will take part in International Day for Persons with Disabilities with a pair of shows at the UN Auditorium in NYC.
