Rudely Interrupted Rock ‘n’ Roll Past Autism, Blindness, Deafness, and Down Syndrome at the Iron Horse on Sunday, June 13th at 7PM

Rudely Interrupted is one of Australia’s truly unique independent rock acts. Based in Melbourne, 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. “We’re here to challenge people’s thoughts on disability,” says Rory Burnside the band’s lead singer who was born without eyes and has aspergers.

The band’s achievements are extraordinary. The “Rudies” have enthralled worldwide audiences with infectious indie pop/rock since their first live performance at the East Brunswick Club in May 2007. They’ve toured Australia’s Laneway Music festival, played alongside artists including Feist and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and wowed audiences from New York to London. This summer they embark on a North American east coast tour that brings them to Northampton’s Iron Horse on Sunday June 13^th at 7PM.
