Thanks to Musebox for the heads up on Australian band Rudely Interrupted. The music is great, heavy sad and joyful all at once, and the musicians make me so happy. I have family and friends with Aspergers and it means a lot to see these guys and gal with all their own unique disabilities freakin rockin out and showing people how undeniably talented, young, sweet, sexy and just plain kooky human they are. It’s a testament to them that they’ve been invited to play at the UN:
Rudely Interrupted will make history this December, becoming the first ever indie-band to perform at the United Nations in New York to mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3, 2008.
Here’s the info on the events at the UN, including the Rudely Interrupted show.
And check out these 2 Rudely Interrupted videos, one a music video for their song My Only Wish, which I find super touching without being emotionally manipulative, which is awesome, my only wish is for better video quality. The other is a little mini doc in advance of their New York trip:
