Rory (23), Sam (25), Marcus (30), Constance (46), Josh (23), and Rohan (38), make up what has become one of Australia's most celebrated bands – Rudely Interrupted. Five out of six band 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. In addition to forming the band, guitarist and backing vocalist Rohan Brooks leads the music-therapy program in Melbourne that helps people of all ages with intellectual disabilities.
Rudely Interrupted is making a trek from their Melbourne, Australia home to the U.S. and Canada this June to perform their style of rock music. The band recently released their album Tragedy of the Commons. They'll play on June 10th at Brooklyn Bowl (61 Wythe Ave) for the Benefit for Disabilities Network on New York City and in Manhattan on June 11th at Piano's (158 Ludlow Street).
