World first as Australian indie-band invited to play United Nations in New York

Rudely Interrupted have been invited by the United Nations to perform in the Dag Hammarskjold Auditorium on the 3rd of December 2008 to mark International Day for People with Disabilities.

Rudely Interrupted are one of Australia's truly unique indie rock acts. 5 out of the 6 members share a range of both physical and intellectual disabilities (Blindness, Deafness, Aspergers, Autism and Down Syndrome) but most importantly, a common interest in self expression through music. Their achievements, both personal and professional to date are extraordinary.

A born performer, bass guitarist Sam who has Down Syndrome loves to show off and wants to be a famous rock star. “I used to play drums at school. But this is the first time I've played bass. I want to fly over the audience with fire and explosions and lightning.”
