“Diligence is the mother of good luck.”
The quote above is from Benjamin Franklin and it’s great inspiration for the Melbourne band Rudely Interrupted. RI are one of Australia’s truly unique indie rock acts. 5 out of the 6 members share a range of both physical and intellectual differences but with a sound likened to Joy Division having a Gary Numan party while eating pitch perfect cookies, this band will challenge your thoughts and entertain your mind with their infectious hooks.
Rudely Interrupted whose music has been hailed by the critics as ‘some of the most energetic and genuine to emerge from the Australian rock ‘n’ roll underground’ played to a prestigious audience at the UN’s global headquarters in New York IN 2008 to mark International Day of Persons Living with a Disability on December 3, 2008.
Dec 3rd 2009 the rock documentary titled “Rudely Interrupted” premiered on Australian ABC 1 TV to raving critics review. The documentary was a fly on the wall look at the band on the road and the different struggles they face to ultimately overcome their challenges and create rock n roll history!
Since their first live performance in 2007 the Rudies have captured the hearts and minds of thousands across the globe. Touring with mainstream music festivals and playing alongside their peers RI went on to WOW audiences the world over. The invitation to perform at the United Nations allowed them to play sold out shows in NYC, Toronto, Bristol, Manchester and London leaving all who see the band perform speechless, amazed and ultimately inspired.
The future holds strong for RI
