January 2, 2009 - Rudely Interrupted is an Australian indie rock band that has just embarked on its first international tour.
Nothing remarkable about that. What sets the band apart is that all but one of the musicians has a serious disability, ranging from Asperger syndrome to Down syndrome to autism to blindness. The band played at the United Nations as part of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Rudely Interrupted is believed to be the first rock band to play the U.N.
